This page contains a list of the services we provide here at Berwick Computer Services, it's not absolutely everything but it covers most of what we do - if you would like to use one of the services below or would like to ask us about other IT related things, then we would love to hear from you - call us on 01289 545 000 or 07793 968 490 or e-mail us on info@berwickcomputerservices.co.uk for more details.
PC & Laptop Repairs
If you have a problem with your PC, and it's not working, whether it's a software problem or a hardware problem, then call us and we can arrange to either fix it at your premises or bring it in to our office workshop and fix it here. Sometimes the only option is to bring it back to our workshop as all our tools and utilities are here, and we can't bring all of them with us on a call out.
PC & Laptop Upgrades
If you are running out of space on your hard drive, or your machine is a few years old and a little slow, sometimes the best thing to do is upgrade it rather than to buy a new machine, this can sometimes be a lot cheaper than you realise. If you are running out of space we can arrange to have a new or additional hard drive fitted and if your machine is slow, one solution could be adding additional memory, we can also do this for you. It's also worth noting here that a PC doesn't need to be old to be upgraded, with technology moving at the speed it is, a PC can need an upgrade after as little as a year ! We can do the work as well as provide the parts, we have no affiliate program that ties us in to any supplier and we will shop around our trusted suppliers to get you the best deal.
Laptop Screen Replacement
If you have damaged the screen of your laptop, then did you know it doesn't mean that it's the end of the laptop ?
Laptop screens can be replaced quite easily, and this is almost always cheaper than buying a new machine ! If you have damaged your screen, then call us and we can arrange to replace your screen.
PC 'Service'
Nobody thinks twice of booking their car in for a service, after a car is three years old, it's mandatory to give it an MOT once a year. Your PC is no different to be honest ! A yearly tune up could save you time and money in the future, our PC service checks some of the common problems and faults, checks the virus software is working, check the PC is up to date with security updates, check the hardware internal connections - and we will even give it a clean for you !
Virus, Spyware, Malware Removal
If your PC seems to have a mind of it's own, takes forever booting up, or boots up fine, but then is just impossible to work with then it's likely that you have some kind of virus, spyware or malware. As annoying as these things are, most of the time they can be removed, although with some it can be quite a lengthy process. If you recognise any of these symptoms then it may be time for your PC to be checked over.
Web Site Design
As well as fixing things, we also provide web design services, rather than go on about what we can and can't do, we are going to use the theory of "a picture is worth a thousand words" or in our case, a link to sites we have already done is easier than droning on and on !! Below are links to some of the sites we have in our portfolio.
1st Cab - Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Border Cab Co.
BAAGS - Borders Asperger & Autism Group Support.
Chirnside Football Club.
Fred C Jones - Joiner & Glazier.
Gems Of British Gardens.
Purely Pork
West End Cabs.
Our portfolio also includes our own web site of course !
PC's & Laptops For Sale
We usually have a stock of refurbished PC's and laptops that we sell on, these are usually machines that have developed a fault that we have fixed ourselves, they are very reasonably priced and are sometimes better value than going out and buying a new machine ! The number we have at any one time can vary, but if you are looking for a machine, then please check our for sale page. We can also supply brand new PC's and laptops built to your specification, call us for more details.
Wireless & Wired Networking
If you have more than one computer in your house, did you know that for very little cost you can "network" them, this means you could share all the important documents (photo's, music etc.) on one machine to any other machine in your house. This can be done via wires and hard cabling, but can also be done over wireless technology which means you can access your files from anywhere in range of your wireless, even sitting in the garden.
Data Backup & Recovery
What would you do if your computer hard drive stopped working and you lost all your documents, music, pictures etc. ?
Like most people, I would imagine "panic" and "scream" would be right up there ! It doesn't have to be like that, we can help you by installing an external hard drive, and set up your PC to back up your important files on to it, whether manually, scheduled or automatically. We don't recommend any frequency for backing up files as it differs from person to person, what we always say is "back up as little as you like or as often as you like, but remember - whatever you change from your last backup, how important is it not to lose it !". External hard drives are inexpensive, and easy to install and set up. It would still be annoying if your hard drive broke down, but at least your data would be safe and it could easily be copied onto a new hard drive or machine.
