Let Me Fix Your PC provides computer repair and IT support for home users and small businesses across Huntington Beach and Orange County. From slow computers and login problems to hardware upgrades, data recovery, and networking, Jim diagnoses the real issue and fixes it — on-site, with walk-in drop-off, or remotely.
Computer running slow, freezing, or taking forever to start? We find what’s dragging it down, remove unnecessary startup programs and junk files, and tune settings to bring performance back, often without buying new hardware. Physical cleaning is included too: dust removed from fans and vents so the computer runs cooler
Dell or HP laptop that won’t turn on, won’t charge, overheats, or gets stuck on the logo? Jim repairs Dell and HP laptops and desktops, including batteries, charging ports, fans, and drives. You’re told the cost before any work begins.
Locked out of Windows or your email? We help recover access to your own accounts, fix forgotten password issues, and resolve sign-in errors on Windows and email (Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo).
A computer that’s slowed down over time often isn’t failing, it’s just outdated in one specific way. We test the drive, memory, and other components to find out exactly what’s holding the computer back, then recommend the upgrade that actually solves it, not just any upgrade. A failing hard drive gets replaced before it fails completely and takes your files with it. Low memory gets addressed with a RAM upgrade. An aging hard drive gets replaced with an SSD, often making an old computer feel faster than when it was new.
Email problems usually show up at the worst time — an account that won’t send, a password that suddenly doesn’t work, or messages that stop arriving with no warning. We fix sign-in and sync issues on Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, and other providers, set up new accounts on a new or existing computer, and sort out configuration problems that cause messages to disappear or bounce. Most email issues can be resolved remotely the same day, without needing to bring the computer in.
Not every computer problem comes with an obvious cause. A computer that’s acting strange — random restarts, error messages, programs that won’t open, a blue screen — needs a real diagnosis before it needs a fix. We start by identifying exactly what’s wrong: hardware, software, a specific program, or something deeper in the system. You get an honest answer about what’s actually happening and what it will take to fix it, before any work begins, so you’re never guessing or paying for a repair you didn’t need.
Pop-ups that won’t go away, a browser that redirects on its own, or a warning claiming your computer is infected and telling you to call a number — these are common signs of malware, and sometimes a scam designed to trick you into giving up money or access. We run a full scan to find and remove viruses, spyware, and ransomware, then check for anything hiding deeper in the system. Once it’s clean, we help secure your computer so the same problem doesn’t come back — updated protection, safer browser settings, and a quick explanation of what caused it. If you’re not sure whether something is a real infection or a scam, stop and call before clicking anything. Already called a pop-up number or let someone connect to your computer? Call Jim. He removes what the scammer left behind and helps you secure your accounts.
Mac problems aren’t the same as Windows problems, and they need to be handled by someone who actually knows macOS, not just a PC technician guessing. We repair and troubleshoot MacBooks and iMacs: slow performance, software issues, failed updates, startup problems, and hardware that needs attention. If a Mac won’t turn on at all, we can often still recover the files on it even when the machine itself can’t be saved. Monthly Mac support plans are also available for homes and small businesses.
Recovery of photos, documents, and business files from failed, corrupted, or dead hard drives and SSDs, and from computers that won’t start. If Jim can’t recover your files, you don’t pay for the recovery.
Clean Windows install or reinstall for computers dealing with crashes, corruption, or persistent errors. We handle drivers and updates, and can help move your files and settings over. Still on Windows 10? Jim can check whether your computer can move to Windows 11 and handle the upgrade.
Secure remote troubleshooting for software issues, setup, and general computer problems. No in-person visit needed for most software-related fixes.
Got a new computer? We set it up, transfer your files, photos, email, and browser data from the old one, and install your programs so it’s ready to use. Jim can also wipe the old computer so it’s safe to sell, donate, or recycle.
Need a computer right now? Rent a computer or laptop for $20 for 24 hours, for an emergency or while yours is being repaired.
Ongoing tech support for home users and small businesses: printers, Wi-Fi, email, backups, and day-to-day computer issues handled as they come up. For businesses, Jim also sets up and manages company laptops and phones: updates, apps, and locking a lost device.
Set up automatic backups to an external drive, network storage, or the cloud, so a failed drive doesn’t mean lost files.
Printer won’t connect, print, or scan? We repair printers, set up new ones, and fix wireless and driver problems on Windows and Mac.
Scheduled computer check-ups: cleaning, updates, security checks, and drive health monitoring, so small problems get caught before they turn into failures. Available as a monthly plan for homes and small businesses. Call to talk about what would fit.
Slow or dropping Wi-Fi, dead zones, or a new router to set up? We configure routers and mesh systems, secure your network, and fix connection problems.

Patient one-on-one computer help at your pace: email, Windows, Mac, online safety, and everyday software.
Call and describe what’s happening — Jim will help you figure out the right next step. If Jim can’t fix the problem, you don’t pay for the repair.
