IT repair and data recovery

A broken laptop or a failing drive is urgent, and callers are anxious. The assistant gives safe first steps, marks urgent cases, books drop-off or courier pickup, and answers status questions.

What it handles

  • Fault triage with safe first steps: power off, do not run repair tools
  • Drop-off and courier pickup bookings
  • Status checks from a job number or phone number
  • Diagnosis and turnaround information you have approved

When it hands over to a person

  • Business-critical or deadline-driven cases
  • Devices with sensitive data: legal, medical or financial
  • A caller who is upset about a past repair

What it never does

  • Promises that data will be recovered
  • Gives a fixed price before diagnosis
  • Asks for passwords or access codes

Questions it answers

From your own FAQ, nothing made up

My laptop won't turn on

I'm sorry. Please unplug it and don't open it. Is this urgent, and would you like to drop it off or have it collected?

How much to recover a hard drive?

The cost depends on the fault, so a technician checks it first. I can note a diagnosis request for the team. Would you like that?

Where is your shop?

We're near Bukit Timah, and courier pickup covers all of Singapore. Would you like a pickup?

What is the diagnosis fee?

Diagnosis is free if you go ahead with the repair, otherwise it's S$40. The fee covers the technician's time testing the device to find the fault.

How long does a repair take?

Most laptop repairs take two to three working days. Data recovery can take longer, depending on the fault.

Is my data safe?

Your data is only accessed with your permission and kept confidential. For sensitive devices we can agree handling rules in writing.

Can you recover deleted files?

Often yes, but it depends on what has happened to the drive since. Please stop using it, and I'll note a diagnosis request for the team.

My laptop is very slow

A technician can look at it and tell you what's slowing it down. Would you like to drop it off or have it collected?

My screen is cracked

I'm sorry about that. We replace laptop and phone screens, and the technician confirms the price once they've seen the model.

I spilled water on my laptop

Please switch it off and unplug it right away, and don't turn it on again. A technician should look at it as soon as possible.

Can you back up or transfer my files?

If it can't be repaired, do I still pay?

I can't promise that before a technician has diagnosed it. If it can't be repaired, you only pay the diagnosis fee.

My last repair wasn't done properly

I'm sorry to hear that. A team member will look into it properly, and in the live version I'd connect you now.

Same-day repairs depend on the fault and the parts. A coordinator can tell you what's possible once the technician has seen the device.

Can I speak to a person?

Of course. I can ask a coordinator to call you back. May I take your name and mobile number?

This call may be recorded, as I said at the start. We only use recordings to follow up your request, and you can ask us to delete yours.

Yes, our team speaks English and Mandarin. On this demonstration line I can only help in English.

What should I bring or prepare for my repair?

Please bring the device with its charger or cable, and note when the fault started and any deadline. If a drive is clicking or the device got wet, power it off and don't run repair tools. Please don't share any passwords with me.
