Everyone needs a Tech Friend.
TechFriend provides a friendly, helpful and reliable service across are range of computer and computer-related areas. We can help you extend the life of your computer by recommending and implementing upgrades or parts replacement. | "Techfriend aims to ensure you are fully informed about the real problems with your computer and to provide a service at a reasonable price. Frequently people are convinced to buy software or new computers when hardware upgrade and replacements, or free software are much better alternatives. At Techfriend we will provide all the information you need to make an informed decision. No pressure, no fuss. |
It may be that there are virus, malware or trojan-software related problems with your computer which you wish fixed, or you may not be able to connect your mobile phone to your laptop, enable Bluetooth transfers, get your computer or mobile phone to deliver your e-mail properly. Or you may want to connect your computer to your PVR so you can watch shows you've recorded on your computer while everyone else uses the television. It could be that you have a more serious problem, such as when your computer just stops working. It may well be that the solution is simpler than you imagine, such as a faulty or non-functioning power supply or faulty RAM. In both cases it is much cheaper for Techfriend to repair the machine, rather than you being convinced to replace it. This brings us to one of the biggest computer-related issues facing people today: the loss of photos and documents when their computer fails or 'dies'. Techfriend can tell you whether it is possible to recover files and photos from a damaged or faulty hard disk drive and then provide you with a reasonably priced solution. In addition to hardware and software problems, Techfriend also provides training and assistance to all ages and especially to adults and parents who want to improve their software skills, learn more about computers and the Internet and to become as savvy as their children, nieces and nephews. We understand that everyone has their own way of learning, wants to be spoken to calmly and clearly and that everyone can learn, they just want to be taught at their speed and in their time. Importantly, TechFriend also assists to help you find free and open source software to meet your needs. By using and providing free and open source software (FOSS), TechFriends helps you to reduce your costs and to improve the quality and level of software available to you. TechFriend also provides training in, access to and information about software which is not FOSS, but which may be free of cost (such as some home use virus scanners) or which you already own (such as Microsoft Office). Techfriend can also provide support for you without coming to your home! One way is to read our regular blog posts. The other is to install Yuuguu (yes, weird name). You can find Yuuguu here. Once you install it, contact us for training or assistance and we can log in to your desktop over the Internet. It's cheaper for you because it saves us time and money. Check out the price page to see the difference in cost. | ![]() "Psssst: We're kid and teenager friendly too!" ![]() "Your computer and software are there for you to enjoy. We aim to make sure that you enjoy learning more about what your computer can do for you in a friendly, supportive environment" It also aims to ensure this is fun and interesting to everyone, not just the tech savvy and the young."
