Repair Process
- Computer is placed on one of our repair benches.
- A technician is assigned to the PC and diagnosis of the PC begins.
- The technician will update the notes within the ticket (Real-time updates to your ticket are visible by Logging-in to the Support Portal). The technician may also call you to give you status of the machine after the initial diagnosis.
- Once the system has been diagnosed, parts that need to be replaced will be installed and, if necessary, a complete wipe and reload of the operating system will be completed.
- The technician will benchmark the system for a minimum of 24 hours after the format and the installation of replacement parts is complete.
- Once the benchmarking is complete the system will be prepped for a Quality Control check. The Quality Control Specialist will review all aspects of the machine to ensure the system is functioning at 100 percent and the PC matches the original build specifications.
- When the PC is ready to ship you will be notified and provided a detailed explanation of the diagnosis and repair.
