Expert IT Answers for Northwest Indiana Homes & Businesses

Your Most Common Computer Repair & IT Support Questions — Answered Clearly

At MCTS.tech, I provide fast, reliable on-site computer repair and IT support throughout Northwest Indiana. This Computer Repair FAQ covers your most common questions about diagnostics, hardware, software, data recovery, networking, scheduling, pricing, and more — all answered clearly so you know exactly what to expect.

Do you offer on-site computer repair?

Yes. I come directly to your home or business, diagnose the issue, and repair it on-site whenever possible. If shop work is required, I take the device with me and return it once it’s fully fixed.

What types of computers do you repair?

I repair desktops, laptops, gaming PCs, all-in-ones, and custom builds. Windows, ChromeOS, and select hardware-level Mac repairs are supported.

Can you fix a slow, freezing, or crashing computer?

Absolutely. I identify the root cause — failing hardware, malware, overheating, corrupted files, or software issues — and repair it quickly

Do you replace laptop screens, hinges, batteries, and keyboards?

Yes. I handle all common laptop hardware repairs and replacements.

Do you remove viruses, malware, spyware, or ransomware?

Yes. I perform deep malware removal, repair damaged system files, and install optional tools to help prevent future infections.

My computer won’t boot — can you fix it?

Yes. Boot failures are often caused by corrupt Windows files, bad drives, BIOS misconfiguration, or hardware failure. I diagnose and correct the issue.

Do you set up home or office WiFi networks?

Yes. I install and optimize routers, mesh networks (Google Nest, Eero, etc.), extenders, and full office network setups.

Why is my WiFi weak or slow in certain rooms?

This is usually caused by obstructions, outdated equipment, or poor placement. I test your layout and set up a stronger, faster network configuration.

 

Do you install PoE security cameras?

Yes. I install and configure PoE camera systems for both homes and businesses across Lake and Porter County.

Can you help me choose the right camera system?

Absolutely. I recommend systems based on your building layout, coverage needs, and budget.

Do you offer tech support for small businesses?

Yes. I provide ongoing support for offices, shops, and small businesses including QuickBooks setup, networking, security cameras, printers, shared drives, and more.

Do you offer monthly IT support plans?

Yes. Monthly support options are available for businesses that need consistent coverage and priority response.

How much do you charge?

Rates are fair, transparent, and based on the service and location. Contact me for a quick estimate.

Do you charge a diagnostic fee?

Diagnostics are included with your service call. If parts are needed, you’ll always get a clear estimate first.

How do I pay?

I accept credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, and business invoices.

How soon can you come out?

Most appointments are same-day or next-day depending on availability.

How long do repairs take?

On-site repairs usually take 30–90 minutes. Shop repairs typically take 1–3 days depending on parts and complexity.

Will I lose my data?

I take every precaution to protect your files. If the drive is failing, I offer data recovery options.

Do your repairs come with a guarantee?

Yes. All repairs include a service guarantee. If the same issue reappears shortly after service, I make it right.

Do you work on gaming PCs?

Yes. I diagnose GPU issues, overheating, BIOS settings, fan failures, and performance problems.

Can you upgrade my computer?

Absolutely. I install RAM, SSDs, GPUs, PSUs, fans, and perform full rebuilds.

Can you help me choose a new computer or laptop?

Yes. I help customers pick the best desktop or laptop based on performance needs and budget.


Still have questions?

How do I schedule an appointment?

Scheduling is simple. You can call me directly to discuss your issue, and we can set up a time for an on-site visit that fits your schedule. I prioritize getting your technology back to peak performance as quickly as possible.

What if my question isn’t listed here?

If you don’t see what you’re looking for, don’t worry. I’m happy to talk through your specific situation over the phone. Just give me a call, and we can figure out the best solution for your home or business.
