Don’t panic!
Since 2010, The Computer Cellar has been Durham’s favorite repair shop for desktop and laptop PCs and Macs. Whether it’s a water spill, broken screen, or malware infestation, we can help you get it fixed or advise you on the next steps to take! We’ve got the experience to repair your devices with skill and care, while communicating in terms you can understand — all without the long waits, suspicious diagnoses, and high prices of the corporate competition.
Computer running slowly?
We can probably give it a kick in the pants by replacing a failing hard drive or cleaning up your software to free up resources!
Running out of free space?
We can use tools to help identify what’s eating all your storage – or even install more storage so you have room for all your stuff!
Need data recovered, consolidated, or transferred?
Whether you have an old external hard drive acting up, a stack of floppy disks you found in the attic, or even if you need help moving data from an old computer to a new one, we can assist with both data transfer and logical data recovery. We also can refer you to reputable forensic-class data recovery labs if your disk is damaged beyond our ability to recover.
Had an accident?
We replace broken and cracked displays, fix snapped hinges, repair laptop body damage, replace broken DC jacks, and clean up liquid spills. If you need board-level repairs, microsoldering, or other complicated repairs, our sister shop can also help you out!
We also replace batteries, speakers, and other odds and ends that may wear out or break. Whatever we’re working on for you, we’ll keep an eye out for other potential problems so you can catch them before they wreck your week!
Looking for the custom PC of your dreams?
We can spec out and build a custom gaming or workstation desktop PC for you. We work in close collaboration with you while determining your needs and picking the best setup for your use case and budget.
Want an inexpensive laptop that doesn’t fall apart?
We sell affordable, reliable refurbished laptop and desktop PCs. Everything we offer comes from legitimate, vetted sources, and gets thoroughly cleaned, tested, and/or repaired. Get a high-quality laptop at a fraction of the original price, with a clean OS and no bloatware. If we wouldn’t sell it to our own family, we won’t sell it to you.
There’s a few things we don’t offer right now…
We currently don’t offer in-home/on-site services, phone/tablet repair, or any work involving cyberstalking, “gangstalking”, or other cybercrimes.
How to get started:
For everything else, come see us! You can drop in any time we’re open (repairs are walk-in only, no appointments needed), and we’ll get your info and take a look at your problem. Most diagnostics and many repairs are done within 24 hours, and we’ll stay in regular contact via text, phone, or email to keep you informed and offer options. If you haven’t been here before, please also check our location information page – there’s convenient parking right outside our door!
