Common problems solved
Problems we help with
You do not need to diagnose the problem before booking. Choose the closest service and the technician will work through the issue with you.
Important files or photos are missing
If documents or photos disappeared after a delete, update or login change, we can look for accessible copies on the computer, an old drive or cloud storage and recover what can still be read.
Need to move data from an old computer
Replacing a PC or laptop is simpler when the old files come with you. Where the old device or drive is accessible, we can copy documents, photos and folders onto the new computer and show you where they landed.
Backups are not set up or have stopped
Many homes have no backup, or a drive that has not run for months. We can set up a practical external-drive or supported cloud backup and explain what is included so you are not guessing later.
External drive is not working or confusing
A USB stick or backup disk that will not open, asks to be formatted or is full can still hold useful files. We can check whether the drive is readable, copy accessible data and explain if specialist recovery is safer.
Cloud storage is full or hard to understand
iCloud, OneDrive or Google Drive warnings often mix photos, backups and synced folders. We can explain what is using the space, what is actually backed up and how to keep important files without extra confusion.
Damaged device may need recovery advice
A dropped laptop, clicking hard drive or computer that no longer starts can still hold photos and documents. We can assess whether accessible recovery is possible and when a specialist lab is the safer option.

Home visit process
How a home visit works
The visit is designed to keep the process simple: describe the issue, let the technician inspect the setup, then choose the next step with clear information.
Book a home visit
Choose a time online or call 1300 238 909. Tell us what is happening in plain language; you do not need to diagnose the fault first.
We check the setup on-site
The technician looks at the device, internet connection, account, cables, settings and recent changes that may be causing the issue.
You get clear options
We explain what we found before extra work proceeds, including whether the issue can be fixed during the visit or needs parts, provider help or specialist repair.
We test before leaving
Where possible, we test the service on the devices you use day to day so you can see the result before the appointment wraps up.
Clear pricing
Clear home visit pricing
Standard transfer and backup visits start from $160. Specialist recovery, damaged drives and large data migrations may need separate quoting or referral.
