I thought I was bringing my computer to someone that could repair or replace parts if needed. Instead, after not hearing from Blair for over a day I called him to get status on the repair only to find out that I had to go to Microcenter to buy a hard drive to deliver to him to replace my old one. One would think that a computer repair shop woud have some standard parts on site or would be able to get them themselves, instead of sending the customer out shopping for it. Then, after another day of not hearing from Blair, I called for an update only to find out he had no idea why my computer still wasnt working. When I went to the store that night he explained that he had no idea what was wrong and when I asked him if he could fix it he said he didnt know and had to do research. He had my computer for 2 and a half days, admitted he was only working on mine all day and still had no idea if he could fix it. I took my computer to Luna Computers that night and it was fixed within an hour. It was a very simple problem that Blair should have realized if he could actually repair computers. Dont waste your time. This guy might be able to sell refurbished computers, but I dont beleive he is doing the refurbishing as he clearly has no idea what he is doing when it comes to computer repair.

Woke up to the spinning wheel of death on our HP laptop computer...tried to do the usual to get things going but no success. Orphan Computers came highly recommended so we went in with 2 computers. Spinning wheel of death and baby pink (older netbook) with bad screen we havent used in a year or so. Owner of Orphan was courteous and helped us out on the spot. One hour later computer is fixed, trouble shooting we can do on our own learned for the future. Also, baby computer diagnosed, part ordered...being fixed. All this for around $100. I would highly suggest giving this local business a try. When you go to the big guys they have a set list of prices so there is little room for assessing the situation independently. Thanks so much for your help.

I have never met a more honest business owner than Blair with Orphan. He has fixed the unfixable at least four times for me. I will never go anywhere else. He fixed my sons drawing tablet, he customized an old laptop so I could read the trouble codes on my car. Recently he built a desktop for my business and optimized my existing desktop so it runs great. I guarantee that you will not find a more honest and customer focused technican than Blair. I will never go anywhere else. Gary Novitsky

My pc was running slow. I had a quad core processor and was only seeing 1 core in total. I took the pc in to the Shop. I explained what the problem was. In less a day Blair (owner) was able to look at it and tell me the problem. I have my pc seeing all the cores and running faster than ever. I am able to contact him and get suggestions which most shops wont do or they charge you for and it could be a flip of a button. PERSONAL SERVICE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE...

When I need assistance with my PC, I go to Blair at Orphan Computers. He is an honest owner. I watched him work with a customer that was not very PC savvy. Blair is patient, takes his technical knowledge and explains it in a way that all can understand. He is customer focused!

Ive used Orphan Computers three times and have had nothing but a fantastic experience. Price is fair, he takes time to explain everything he has done, works fast and I would definitely recommend to anyone whether you are an experienced computer user or novice.

The folks at Orphan were very responsive to my every need, I never heard of the company prior to this 1st visit but was pleasantly surprised. Blair is very knowledgeable in many fascists of computer repair & software maintenance. Ill be back

I brought my laptop in for a DVD drive replacement. The owner Blair cracked the thing open and fixed it on the spot, even though it required a great deal of disassembly. Plus, hes a nice guy. I would recommend Orphan Computers.

Terrible experience! Brought my laptop in to fix the plug, they had it forever! Never fixed it! They dont have a clue what they are doing. I would recommend Micro-center and stay far away from this place.

My external hard drive crashed. I brought it to Blair at Orphan and he was able to recover EVERYTHING! My old HP Notebook was running slowly. Blair cleaned it up and had it running like new again. GREAT!

I called the shop in need of assistance and found a well-informed, honest and friendly person willing to go out of his way to get the job done. Im happy to have discovered Orphan Computers. Thanks!

What I like most about Blair is he is relationship focused. Ive worked with him on and off for about three years now. He doesnt look for how to make a buck. He looks to make friends.
