How long will it take?

Dok’s diagnostic process averages 3 business days. Depending on the situation, repairs take 3-5 business days

●  If we can use in-stock parts, repair time may be shorter

●  If a part has to be ordered from overseas, repair time is longer

●  Repair may be delayed if we can’t reach you for crucial information

●  Repair may be delayed if a part we ordered is defective and has to be reordered

What can speed up repair time?
Staying reachable, providing correct passwords and key information, bringing your 
power charger (except for desktops),  and if we have the parts in stock. 
What can delay repair?
Missing or incorrect passwords, we can’t reach you for questions or approval, or if we have to 
order parts. 
Computer won’t boot?
Something’s broken?

Virus and Post-Hack Cleanups 

Is your computer behaving weird? Gets annoying pop-ups? Worried you were hacked?

If you use the internet a lot, it is practically impossible to keep a system completely free of browser and/or data infections. Viruses can sneak in from multiple sources. Many popups are scary. And if you click, or worse, call and pay, they’ve got you! The financial and security damage can be high. See image here.

We root out viruses and malware, remove sketchy remote login programs, check your anti virus status, fine-tune settings, get your operating system up to date,  and install pop up blockers on your browsers.
