East Bay Computer Guy

I had some issues with my laptop for some reason and I found this guy on Unilocal who fixed it. Really fast and cheap when other places were giving me quotes up the roof. He managed to fit me in his schedule and I got it back the same day within a few hours. Customer service is awesome and when you step into his «lab» you will already feel like you’re in good hands. I will be back in the future for any type of computer repairs whether it’s my laptop any electronic device.

Found this guy on Craigslist. I had a broken game console. He was very knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and professional. For the issue I did have, he was almost $ 100 less than anyone else. I would definitely repeat business.

Had a ps4 with a broken hdmi port within 2 hours it’s was fixed so you don’t got to send it to Sony in spend 150 dollars. He also cleaned the inside for me. And It even comes with a warranty. Don’t let your system collect dust like I did get it fixed

My PS4 ate my Bloodborne disc and would not play nor eject. I’ve tried many methods i.e. manual eject, power into safe mode, turning it vertical as was suggested by PS forums and Sony itself. They told me to send it in for repairs and it’s $ 150+ since it is out of warranty. They also stated that I might get a refurbished system if they cannot fix it.
I searched on Unilocal and saw some good reviews for Jaime so I sent him a message stating the problem and he messaged back quickly and made a drop off appt. I dropped it off on a Wednesday and he kept me posted on the procedure and let me know regarding the disc drive and that it needs to be replaced. It was fixed that same night but I went and picked it up the next day and it only cost me a fraction of what Sony wanted.
Very professional and courteous and I would definitely recommend getting your game systems fixed here. I will try to get him to fix my fat backwards compatible PS3 at a later date.

I just bring my PS4 to Mr. James and he did the work perfectly and there is no issues any more.

So I had damaged my HDMI port on my PS4, At the moment I thought I was going to have to pay for a brand new PS4 because I saw that there was a spot all the way down in san jose and I didn’t want to drive so far. But I went on Unilocal because I didn’t want to deal with the hassle. So I found this place and gave them a call they were awesome. James was a really cool dude and he charged me for a pretty good reasonable price compared to the spot in san jose. Needless to say that if you ever need a good repair go to East Bay Computer Guy! Thanks James for being clutch, appreciate it!

The warranty was up on our PS4 and Sony wanted $ 150+ for us to send it in for repairs, so we decided to see if we could find anyone local to do the job.
Jaime helped us out with what turned out to be a hard drive problem. He was super fast and professional; we dropped it off in the morning, he texted us updates once he figured out the issue, gave us an estimate, and it was ready for pickup by 3:30. Couldn’t ask for smoother service, will definitely go back to him if we have any other issues. He also has his own warranty, which is great.

James was awesome to say the least. Originally I had an HDMI port that was damaged on my PS3, it was easy to get a hold of James via my Unilocal app and he responded very quickly. He gave me a reasonable price quote and set up a appointment for me to drop it off. I was in no hurry so time wasn’t a factor for me. After James replaced the HDMI port I still had a problem that required more repairs. Not only did he not charge me extra for the additional repairs and parts needed he gave me a discount on the original amount because there was a delay in getting my PS3 back to me. He went above and beyond and I couldn’t be happier with his work. I’ve had no issues with my PS3 and I don’t think I’ll even hesitate the next time I need any electronic repair. James will be getting all of my future business and I will continue recommending him to all of my friends and co workers. Thanks again James

Was Nice and let me know ahead of time the price range for the work and the work on the hdmi that was replaced looks and performed solid we definitely recommend this guy and take more electronics to him to get them fixed.

Jaime is legit! I had an HDMI fart out on last January and Jaime fixed this really fast and for an incredibly reasonable price. And just last week, I had one early backwards compatible PS3 that got the Yellow Light Of Death (YLOD) — also the housing was torn up (long story short, my brother wanted to «vent» the PS3). I took him a broken newer model PS3 thinking that he could use it for parts. Jaime surprised me and fixed BOTH the backwards compatible AND the newer model for no additional charge! I cannot recommend him enough — really nice, super reliable and went above and beyond. If you need a VG console, TV or some other electronics fixed, Jaime is your guy. I’m hella satisfied and going back to him for my next repair.

Great service, fixed ps3 disc drive, also jailbroke my ps3, and even went as far to install cfw done in a short amount of time!

After 8 years of use my ps3 decided crap out on me. It was the day before the fourth and I didn’t know if I could find anyone to repair it for me before the holidays was over.
I emailed Jamie after finding him on Unilocal and he was very prompt with his reply. I told him what the problem was and he seem very knowledgeable diagnosing the problem over the email for me. So I made an appointment with him to drop off my unit few hours later. It is in a residence but Jamie provided very good directions.
After dropping it off he told me the unit would be ready later on in the afternoon or the next day (⁷⁄₄). I was surprised that he would be working on it for me on the fourth.
But as things would have it, I ran into some issues. My nephews were coming over earlier than expected so I called Jamie and asked if the unit could be repaired the same afternoon and that I didn’t care what time as long as it was the same day. He was very courteous with his reply and told me he would have it done.
Jamie kept me posted with the progress of the repair and had the unit ready at 9:15 P.M.
I went to pick up my unit and Jamie was very through explaining what the problem was and the repairs. He even provides a warranty for peace of mind.
I was able to have my ps3 back in time to keep my nephews happy and quiet so I could enjoy my Friday night in peace.
I would definitely take all my gaming consoles back to Jamie.

My son’s Xbox 360’s hard drive failed. I contacted East Bay Computer Guy via email, and Jaime responded promptly. I gave a brief description of the problem, and asked whether he could do the repair (and, if so, how much it would cost). Jaime responded promptly by email and gave me some tips about how I could repair it myself at little cost. I really appreciated his honesty and professionalism. He was also great about responding to a couple of follow up questions that I had.

I needed my Playstation 3 fixed. The dish drive was giving me issues. called around several shops to get it fixed and it said it couldn’t be done. I was looking on Unilocal and Iran into East Bay computer guy. I talked to Jamie and told him my issue on my PlayStation 3. It was worth the drive all the way from Antioch. He had it fixed within an hour. He took the time to show me what the problem was. I would recommend my friends and family that needed electronics being fixed to Jamie.

We had a modem/​router/​switch configuration issue at our office. We called and Jaime came within 1 hour. He gave us a fixed price quote but he spent many hours troubleshooting our system. Not only he fixed all the internet and wi-​fi issue, he also spent additional time setting up our wi-​fi printers. He was very polite, courteous and very knowledgeable about Windows desktops and laptops. We will definitely call him again next time!

The PS3 I inherited from a friend wouldn’t load or eject discs. I tried taking care of the issue a few times myself, no luck though. I brought it to Jaime and he fixed it in a few hours. I was a little worried about dropping it off at someone’s apartment, but there is ample parking outside, it’s directly off the freeway, and his living room /​work station is pretty damn organized and enviable! He gave me a 90-​day warranty on his work, charged me less than the cost of a new disc drive and I was on my way in less than five minutes. Really stoked on Jaime, would totally use him again!

Legit! Seems sketchy it’s a private apartment, but quick turnaround of ps3 repair, picked it up in 2 hours and receipt was provided. Great prices no hassle.

My Playstation 3 died unexpectedly. It is about 7 years old and had a good life. But all those years of content, downloaded games, saved games, etc. was locked away on a system that wouldn’t boot. I had the flashing red light of death.
I looked for repair options and only found a few that included shipping it to Florida and praying for a miracle. Another option is sending to Sony for repair at a ridiculous price. Then I found East Bay Computer Guy.
Jamie repaired my Playstation 3 in a few days. I sent it to East Bay Computer Guy and they fixed it for less money and faster than sending it across the country to some sketchy garage shop. I got it back in just a few days and it fired up right away to the home screen. No data was lost. The older Playstation 3’s are known for running hot which can melt solder over time. This is what happened to mine. Jamie repaired it properly so it should work for a long time again.
Bottom line: highly recommended for PS3 repair. Will try some time for computer repair also.

If you own an Xbox 360, I’m sure you know the heart-​wrenching feeling when your console suddenly refuses to cooperate, instead showing the dreaded «Red Ring of Death.»
If your console is no longer under factory warranty, I’m sure most of you would search for alternative repair centers; Microsoft certified repair centers can be very costly to the budget gamer. Fortunately, some research quickly yielded East Bay Computer Guy as someone who is experienced with these types of repairs. After a brief (and very professional, I might add) email exchange, I packed up my Xbox and mailed it over (I covered my @$$ by snapping a picture of the serial number and obtaining a tracking number from the post office; insurance is recommended… just in case).
A few days later, after paying the invoice via PayPal, I received my console and immediately plugged it back in. In the words of Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum, «F*** YEA!!!» I was back in the game, pun intended. Aside from the repair, a fan modification was made; it was a bit louder than I remember, but not unbearable for me.
It’s been roughly 4 months since my Xbox returned to its status as «3^rd most used electronic product of mine,» and I haven’t had any issues with it thus far.
If you can prove you’re a military veteran, a discount will be given. How’s that for supporting the troops? Not even my local grocery store gives me a discount! Thanks again, East Bay Computer Guy!
