Reviews about «Protek Computer Services»
Have to admit that I was not sure about Protek at first as I could not find a website or email. However, they were local and Google reviews seemed positive. Really glad I did and goes to show that a fancy website is no real indicator of quality.
I had a problem with my PC - power supply completely dead and replacing this beyond my skill set. Protek looked at the computer the same day and advised on the best balance for replacement. Work was completed efficiently and would not hesitate to recommend.

My computer blew up and I had a huge panic attack, I work from home and 8 months of my work was on it without a back up, this happened on a Friday night and I wanted to have it in repair and see if any other parts suffered apart from the power supply immediately. I managed to get in touch with Protek on Saturday morning. The gent seemed like a really nice person and down to earth but most importantly KNOWLEDGEABLE, right of the bat told me I can bring it down and he will have a look at it and let me know what's up on the same day. Knowing what it was he proposed a quick solution and said the computer would be done by Tuesday, which was very quick. I asked for some additional things such as adding an SSD card which makes my computer lightning fast now. He also installed a fresh Windows at a really low cost which was a great bonus as I was running a cracked version. The overall job took until Weds instead of Tues but that's only because I asked for additions last minute which were a lengthy process. VERY satisfied with the job done and the PRICE surprised me at how reasonable and cheap it was. Even after the repair I was able to call up and ask for some advice, great service.
DEFINITELY A RECOMMENDED PC REPAIR SERVICE, WOULD GO BACK AGAIN. (Hopefully won't have to for a while)

Had a mega problem with my 7 year old laptop. Overheating and crashing all the time. This was a very expensive laptop when I purchased it and was very reluctant to replace it with a modern day equivalent. Tried resolving the problem myself and failed miserably.
Contacted Protek and I was more than impressed with the fantastic customer focus and courtesy afforded to me. Nothing appeared to be a problem for them. Throughout the short period of time the laptop was with them I was kept apprised of progress and associated cost of repair.
It was so satisfying to receive my cherished laptop returned in full working order and reasonable cost for repair.
A massive thanks to Protek for a great job done.

Reviews about «STOCK IT Ltd»
Very fast efficient service great comms from the seller during the build. A local business that can provide you with the custom specs you need for your pc.
2018.10.13 08:37
Very pleased with my new PC. It was custom built to my office needs and it looks great.
It came completely set up. With all my files transferred from my old computer. All I needed to do was plug it in and switch it on.
I was even more impressed with how helpful everyone in the shop were afterwards in giving advice about my new PC And helping me get around issues with internet connections.
I won't use any other computer shop in the future.
Thank you

Reviews about «Icon Computing»
I run a number of companies and have been using the services of ICON for the last 12+ years. They have always been top-class in all repair and maintenance work they have done for us. For same period we have purchased all of our hardware and software via ICON. Sure, we could save a few pounds by fossicking around the web, but by dealing with ICON we get totally reliable quality at a very fair price. Overall they have saved us huge amounts of time and money, and we never have to worry about anything they do. I have recommended many people to them and I continue to do so now. There has been a recent change of ownership and I am sure Jason, the new owner, will be equally good to deal with in the future, and probably will be even better.
2019.05.10 08:45
Before I start I would like to point out that the previous owners were very popular with customers and well liked by other local business owners but unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Under the present owners staff are completely disinterested and unhelpful and even seem arrogant in some respects. I am extremely disappointed in their customer service and how they come across and have now taken my enquiries elsewhere to someone who appreciates the business.
2018.09.28 12:35
Very friendly and helpful
2019.06.20 13:00
Amazing staff very good prices and service is amazing too🌝
2019.01.04 18:42
Great company who can't do enough to help you- I have had quite a few computers off them over the years for my home and business and they have consitently delivered. I would highly recommend them- they are knowledgeable and approachable and fairly priced.
Excellent.

Reviews about «A2Z Computing Ltd»
I have used A2Z for many years, both as a business owner and, having retired, for my home IT. I have nothing but praise for them. They are prompt, professional, approachable and courteous and their advice is always spot-on. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants excellent service at sensible prices.
2019.07.03 13:15
What a fantastic company another computer repair shop had my laptop for over 7 weeks and did not fix the problem!!! I done a google search and 3 repair shops came up. A2Z Computing was the one i decided to phone first. Well after talking to this person who was so knowledgeable and reassuring i did not bother phoning the other two. I was to find out after it was the boss of the company that i spoke to. He had my Laptop at 11am on Friday and it was ready for me to pick up the next day. Well done A2Z
2019.07.06 13:00
A2Z Computing is at the top of their class. From the simplest software update to detailed forensics, the team can do it all. Led by Az, they are curteous, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They've just sorted what ended up being a complicated issue without fuss. I recommend the company and will bring my business there again in the future.
2019.06.29 13:13
Been on a monthly support contract for my company just under a year now, and the service has consistently been to a high standard. They are quick to resolve any issues we have and suggest ways we can improve on our IT systems. I would highly recommend Az and all the guys at A2Z to anyone
2019.04.01 09:10
I received amazing service here. I had a problem with my PC and was in a desperate need for a speedy repair. Not only did they have a quick look straight away but realised it wasn't a big problem and after making me a cup of tea, set about fixing it while I waited. Within the hour my PC was fixed and I was given some very helpful advice on the condition of my PC. ( I now clean the vents and fans out every couple of months! ) I re-visited for a cable a few months later and from a vague description of the desired fittings they provided me with the right cable in minutes. They know their stuff! Couldn't see me going anywhere else for PC repairs or upgrades beyond my capability.

Really helpful and friendly counter staff, Now the ability to do my banking here too, as well as my postage and convenience shopping. Definitely recommended.
2019.12.27 01:03
Truly delightful and helpful owners and staff , and a godsend for banking and other services provided
2019.11.19 14:29
Post office is at back of shop plus they have facilities at front of shop. The gentleman is very rude and grumpy, he practically threw my change into my hand. They stock the usually groceries in shop part, nothing special and no offers unlike the shop a few doors up. Shop is set up well and lighting is excellent, has air conditioning also and stays open quite late. Not sure why he won't do post office stuff on a Sunday though
2019.05.17 15:45
The staff here are so helpful! i felt compelled to write about my experiance because the staff went out of their way to help me out bless them! Fabulous service i'l shop there every time!

Reviews about «St Julians Post Office»
An awful shop it smelt of cannabis, over the top prices no special offers to be seen, doesn't look very clean considering they sell food, staff are quite rude and the old lady that served me was disgusting she snatched money from my hands and couldn't answer my post office question as her son or daughter wasn't there! Seems most of this shops customers are drug addicts or alcoholics considering all the alcohol there and so many cameras! Heard this particular shop was nasty now I know why I much prefer the one stop at the bottom it's modern, clean and doesn't stink like a cheap takeaway. Avoid this expensive dump!
2019.06.10 03:57
Horrible place my chips weren't cooked properly and it didn't look too clean. Loads of booze though not sure on prices as no special offers advertised. Won't be eating here again
2019.06.10 04:03
Very expensive, not very organised either. Staff are not very polite. Lots of alcohol not enough groceries at good prices!
2019.06.10 04:00
Great convenience store. Cash point inside which is free. Sells Beers, wine and spirits, smoking and vaping products, all the groceries you need and even take away Indian food. Last but not least lovely staff.
2018.03.05 05:45

Reviews about «Ringland Post Office»
The staff in this shop are lovely all apart from the bloke who works there, the past 2 times I've been there and he's served me he's ripped me off by £2 and I'm getting sick of it, he can see that I have 2 children one of them only being 7 weeks old and he thinks it's okay to rip off money from a mother of 2 which by the way the money that I got paid today and he pretty much stole was my children's money as it was child benefit I used to pay for my things so not only did he rip off me but he also ripped off my children!

I would like to thank Sian at the Newport branch. She made me feel very comfortable with my current situation and has helped me massively.

Reviews about «Barclays Bank»
The staff here are very friendly and helpful, however, I wish my banking was done by real people rather than by machines that constantly malfunction and break. When putting large amounts of money to the machines, they can easily get stuck, meaning you have to wait ages whilst staff retrieve the trapped money from the machine. The service would be great if they could reintroduce the banking counter! It also means that people are losing jobs due to this.

Went overdrawn by 20 pence on my account once and they send my a letter to notify me about that fact. It took 3 days for the letter to arrive so when I got to the bank to pay back the owed 20 pence I had to pay £60!!! Penalty charge! Closed the account! Avoid!

Reviews about «TSB Bank»
Found the cashier a bit ‘racist’ as I asked if I could get some change for my sisters bus money. She asked if I’m getting this change for the “noodle bar”.
- yes I’m asian. But is this how cashiers from a respected bank treat their customers? Disgusting.
2019.01.18 01:23
The customer service at this particular location was DEPLORABLE! Very disappointed as I have been a customer for the last 8 years.
2019.01.31 17:29
Worst customer services, been with tsb from last 5 year and now from last couple of months starnge things are happening with my account, first my address updated without letting me know and after saying technical fault, and now I am ordering missing bank statments from last couple of week didnt reveive anything yet, every single when I call they re order and says wait for another 7 days. Even make mess with your online banking as well.

2019.11.09 19:37
Went in to ask is it possible to change some money. Something quick and easy to do supposedly the attitude of the cashier was not good as we did not have an account she said need to bank with a decent bank that is open and does not close half day!! A simple I am unable to do that as you don't bank with us would have been a better comment!!
2018.12.31 16:09
My experience here was terrible, Lauren who is a personal banker treated me as though I had the plague, she didn't listen and was extremely rude. 3 times the job center tried to transfer money and Lauren accused them of doing it wrong!! In the end I shouted and manager was called, she actually told me off and said job centre was at fault. After much discussion and many phone calls it appeared that Lauren hadn't listened to me and updated my address and that was why my money kept bouncing!! Manager couldn't do enough then when they realised they were at fault and I received 50 pound compensation!!
2019.05.18 23:16
Went in today to update a passbook and transfer money for my mother. The lady who dealt with me was very good but I knew it would take time and it caused a queue. No other cashiers available but at least 3 staff wandering around asking " Can I help you?" and you wonder why high street banks are closing.
2018.11.19 16:26
Very disappointed with the level of customer service especially from the cashier. Wanted to pay some money into my son's a/c. Cashier wouldn't take the cash told me to put it into a deposit envelope and it would be paid into his a/c in the next 24hrs. Never had this problem in other Halifax branches. Which offer excellent service

If there is no decent PC repair shop in your area, send you storage device to data recovery lab from the nearest post office. You can pay for recovery services or software registration at any bank.

Data recovery in the laboratory will cost from £149 and last up to 2 weeks.
Stop using the device where you used to keep the deleted data.
Work of the operating system, installation of programs, and even the ordinary act of connecting a disk, USB drive or smartphone to the computer will create new files that might overwrite the deleted data - and thus make the recovery process impossible. The best solution would be to shut down the computer of power off your phone and outline an action plan. If turning off the device is impossible, try to use it as little as possible.
Make up a list of devices where the necessary files have been saved.
Try to remember the chain of events from creating the files to deleting them. You may have received them by email, downloaded from the Internet, or you may have created them on another PC and then brought them home on a USB drive. If the files in question are personal photos or videos, they can still be available on the memory card of your camera or smartphone. If you received the information from someone else - ask them for help. The sooner you do it the more chances you have to recover what is lost.
Use the list of devices to check them for the missing files, their backup copies or, at least, the chance to recover the deleted data from such devices.

What are the common causes for a computer not booting into the operating system or displaying a black screen, and can a PC repair service in Caerleon help diagnose and resolve these issues?
There can be several common causes for a computer not booting into the operating system or displaying a black screen. Some of these causes include:
- Hardware issues: Faulty or loose connections, malfunctioning power supply, defective RAM, or a failing hard drive can prevent a computer from booting.
- Software issues: Corrupted operating system files, incompatible drivers, or malware infections can cause booting problems.
- BIOS or UEFI settings: Incorrect settings in the computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware can prevent the system from booting properly.

What methods or tools does a PC repair service in Caerleon employ to recover data from a computer that won't boot into the operating system or shows a black screen?
A PC repair service in Caerleon may employ several methods or tools to recover data from a computer that won't boot into the operating system or shows a black screen. Some common approaches include:
- Bootable Recovery Software: They may use bootable recovery software like Hiren's BootCD, Ultimate Boot CD, or SystemRescueCD to access the computer's hard drive and recover data. These tools provide a range of utilities and file explorers that can help in accessing and copying files from the non-bootable system.
- External Drive Enclosures: The repair service may remove the hard drive from the non-booting computer and connect it to an external drive enclosure. This enclosure can then be connected to a working computer, allowing the repair service to access and recover data from the non-bootable drive.
- Live Linux Distributions: They may use live Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Knoppix to boot the non-functional computer. These distributions run directly from a USB or DVD and provide a graphical interface to access and copy files from the computer's hard drive.
- Data Recovery Tools: The repair service may utilize specialized data recovery tools such as Recuva, TestDisk, or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. These tools can be used to scan the non-bootable drive for lost or deleted files, and recover them to an external storage device.
- Hardware Diagnostics: If the non-booting issue is caused by hardware problems, the repair service may use diagnostic tools to identify and fix the underlying hardware issue. By resolving the hardware problem, they can then restore the computer to a bootable state and recover data using regular methods.
It's important to note that these methods should be performed by experienced professionals to ensure data integrity and avoid further damage to the computer or data loss.
