I paid him thru paypal and he will not communicate with me. I have called him several times and emailed him...STILL no reponse! I AM SO FRUSTRATED! I will not recommend him to anyone at this point. I am in a bind without my laptop and the turnaround time is NOT as advertised. BEWARE! I sent Steve my Aser Extensa laptop on 6/18/10 and still haven’t received it back.

The turnaround was not what was promised. The return shipping, which was expensive was in fact fed-ex ground (which should never be called fedex). The machine was dropped off at fedex after shipping cut off for friday, so it stayed there until Monday. Took forever to get the laptop back. USPS would have been faster. So would have UPS ground. Great service, great price, POOR communication from Steve. repair done well. The turnaround was not what was promised.

I would have to say I am not real pleased with their slow reponse time. They take days to tell you your laptop is there, they take at least twice as long to repair as their email says, and then once you pay them it takes more time for the email that your laptop is being shipped. NO RESPONSE to 2nd request for tracking number "so I can make sure I am home to sign for laptop". The only reason that I did not do the repair myself is that it is a major effort to take a laptop apart, and making any repair to a part on the motherboard can be delicate. I am still waiting for my laptop to get back. I have no idea how he shipped it, or when it will arrive. So....I doubt I will use them again. I will report back if the machine repair is not 100% I sent in my old reliable Presario in for replacement of the DC power jack.

He said he would get back to me to give me a time/date when I could drop off my laptop. Never got back to me. Found someone else who repaired it for less. Contacted twice (e-mail and phone).

Still waiting for it to come back or get some type of feedback that it is done. I can not say I am happy yet with the repair experience. I sent my husband’s laptop in March.

Steve did everything that he said he would do. I recommend Pomeroy Computing to anyone looking for a good value in computer repair. My Acer notebook power jack was repaired in a very efficient manor.

Timeframe as promised. I recommend this vendor as others quoted $200 instead of the $85 that I paid. Power jack repaired on time and on budget. Timeframe as promised.

I had basically a mix of all the above comments. Stated power cord was bad (it's not as far as I can tell, it powers on a identical laptop), long turnaround, and same loose power jack condition. I've sent an email also and I'll keep you posted. Howard,

I had basically a mix of all the above comments. Stated power cord was bad (it’s not as far as I can tell, it powers on a identical laptop), long turnaround, and same loose power jack condition.

I’ve sent an email also and I’ll keep you posted.
