I’ve performed the even more challenging work of fixing graphics card issues for photographers through a process called reflow.
My areas of service cover the 40-mile radius surrounding the Twin Cities metro. A travel fee of $80 applies for onsite work. My labor rate is $90 an hour. Drop-off work has a $85 diagnostics fee. I treat every single one of my customers equally, yet personally to cater his or her unique needs.

Data Security & Recovery
Without question, your data is the most valuable asset no matter which Apple computer you use. The one trap many people fall into is relying solely on cloud storage (such as iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox). Services like these often lead users to falsely assume their data is backed up all the time. This is not usually the case. In fact these services typically sync a particular folder or group of folders, not the entire hard drive.
The rule of thumb in data security is to always have three copies of your data. The first copy is the internal storage on your computer. The second should be a physical, on-site backup to an external drive or Time Capsule (Apple’s hybrid server/external drive). Apple Mac OS X has a built-in feature for data backup known as Time Machine. Time Machine is my recommendation for full, on-site backups of your Mac. The third copy of your data should be off-site via cloud storage, which can be accomplished through services like Backblaze or Crashplan.
Data loss can and does happen, whether the result of a liquid spill or a failing or overfilled hard drive. Should you need to recover data from your Mac or want to set up a reliable backup configuration, contact The IT Sage. The table below lists common data loss symptoms. Most data recovery and transfer services take 3-5 days. Data security consultation and backup configuration for Apple computers can be scheduled at your convenience. Give me a call or send an email/text to get started.
Corrupt, missing, or inaccessible
Common symptoms of non-physical hard drive failure on Apple computers:- No Boot to User Account
- Slow Response Time or Function
- Inaccessible folders
- Deleted or Missing Files
- Reformatted volume
- Unmountable Volume
Physical or mechanical damage
These issues would require advanced hardware-based data recovery approaches:- Flashing Folder with Question Mark
- Boot into Recovery Mode
- Smart Errors
- Unrepairable Volumes
- Moderate Bad Blocks
- Have Drive not Recognized
Apple IT Management
As Apple computers become more popular in the work place, so have the needs for servicing and managing work offices with all Mac computers. The IT Sage has helped managing and resolving Apple computer issues for many small businesses such as digital marketing & advertising agencies, law offices, chiropractic clinics, and more. When your business needs to maximize efficiency and minimize loss in production, contact Truong for the best business tech support when it comes to Apple computers in the Minneapolis and St Paul metro area.

MacBook Pro Hard Drive Replacement
My husband’s Dell needs some attention and we’ll be asking Truong back very soon to install some new hardware on-site. I would definitely recommend Truong to anyone needing any type of computer repair, diagnostic analysis or upgrade.

MacBook Pro 13″ Coffee Spill Repair
I looked online and found the ITSage and brought it out to him. He was honest about the chances of success (50%) but he worked his magic and now I have a totally clean and well-working laptop again. Even better he gave me other tips about getting the speed up. And his fee was incredibly reasonable.
He is going to be my go-to guy for mac repair for the rest of my life!

MacBook Pro Top Case Replacement
After searching the internet I found Truong, who not only helped me find the same replacement parts at a much lower cost, but also worked with me around my busy schedule. He made the repairs (new keyboard, optical drive and other updates) in less than 3 hours, and for less than half the cost of what apple quoted me.
All in all Truong does great work, and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. I will definitely be sure to reach out to him with any computer problems that mar arise in the future.
Thanks Truong, my laptop is like new again!

2011 MacBook Pro GPU Reflow Rework
For someone who doesn't seem to be in a hurry and has time to swap a story or two, he is also very fast once the problem is known. The diagnosis for both our MacBook Pros was hard drive and disc-drive upgrades, accomplished basically overnight at his place except for one disc-drive that was replaced on our dining room table so we could see the process. He also thoroughly cleaned both machines when apart and was happy to lend advice on all questions. We thought the cost was more than reasonable.
We are certainly glad to recommend Truong highly to anyone.

Swollen Battery, Trackpad Issue Fix MacBook Pro
He fixed my 2009 Macbook Pro in just a few days, and it's now functioning as well as it did when I first got it. I am really happy with his work, and I'm thrilled I don't have to buy a new computer when my old one works just fine!
I'm a big fan of keeping electronics as long as possible, but I also need them to function well. Truong knew exactly what to do to make my Mac work again. Who knew a swollen battery is what caused my track pad to not work?! Thanks!

MacBook Pro Black Screen Issue
Truong immediately honed in on a couple possibilities, and fixed the issue in a matter of minutes. He also had some memory cards, which he offered at a very reasonable price, and installed them, fixing the issue and doubling the memory. He also fixed a couple annoying app issues. He charged us for 1/2 hr., which was less than the time we were actually there. I have total confidence in his expertise (worked with IT guys in Silicon Valley for 25 yrs), and he's completely honest, honorable, and kind. Thanks, Truong, for a very positive experience and outcome! You're the best!

iMac 27″ Video Connector Micro-soldering
I did some of my own research in trying to find people to fix it and how to repair the problem for cheaper instead of replacing. I finally found a solution which required some micro soldering. But I did not want to attempt another repair after the first fiasco. I called Truong and he was happy to do it. He is prompt, and quite through. He was great and saved a ton of money.
These days it is hard to find people that want to do any actual repairs to save money and they want to go straight to replacing (most expensive option).

MacBook Pro Crashed Hard Drive Recovery
Oh, and his prices are very reasonable. He really provides remarkable service and I would recommend him without a second's hesitation. I crashed the hard drive on an older Mac and he took it on Saturday morning and finished it by that afternoon, restoration and all.
I was so impressed I brought him mw wife's Mac when I picked up mine to be updated.

MacBook Keyboard Replacement
I just dropped my MacBook off with him. Truong was great at keeping me up to date, via the phone, each step of the way. I had lots of questions (not knowing much about computers) and he was patient with me. Once the main problem was solved, I asked if he could replace the keyboard on the laptop too; No problem! I had been without a working delete and return button for ages. He found a used one for me at a great price. What a deal! He'll be the first person I call if I have a computer problem again.

This was by far the best experience I have ever had with fixing computers. (I seriously have had bad luck with all of my computer purchases). I would recommend Truong to anyone and everyone. He is honest, upfront and gives excellent customer service. If I have any other issues with computers in the future I will be going to the IT sage for all my fixes.

SSD and RAM Upgrades for 17″ MacBook Pro
I contacted him on a Friday night desperate for help with my MacBook Pro that is 5 years old. He responded the next morning and said he could meet with me that afternoon. After discussing my issues with it, he said it sounded like the hard drive. He was able to run a few tests and determined that was so.
He installed a new hard drive, updated my Mac to latest version and gave me more storage. He contacted me throughout the whole process and was super nice and friendly. The best part was that I could pick it up in less than a day and his prices were extremely reasonable! I cannot thank him enough for his amazing work and customer service. It now looks like I have a brand new, reliable computer! Thanks Truong!

MacBook Pro RAM Issue Repair
I had taken it to the Apple Store and a couple of other shops and had quotes of $60 to $99 just to look at it—and up to $189 plus any parts if they could repair it (most didn't think it would be repairable).
Truong got right to work on it and would not have charged me at all if he could not fix it. He solved the mystery, it works fine and all for $80.00. Amazing.

Display Hinges Replacement for MacBook Pro 13″
The price and time for the repairs was completely reasonable and totally different and far less what the Apple Store told me. He even cleaned my Mac and fixed the rubber feet for free!
If you have a problem with an Apple computer that the Genius Bar wants to charge you to fix it, I seriously recommend coming to The IT Sage and getting a second opinion.

Apple MacBook Pro Hard Drive Replacement
I browsed the internet and the second call I made was to Truong. He listened to me attentively when I explained to him what was going on with my computer and gave me very honest, simple advice. I also suggested to buy my new hard drive at Micro Center in SLP, which I had never been to before. I took my computer to Truong and the next day it was ready to go. He also cleaned the inside and out of my MacBook. This was such a stress free process compared to my last experience. I will be taking my computer, and referring everyone to Truong from here on out. His rate is affordable, even with his traveling fee, if you opt for him to come to you.
TRUONG THE IT SAGE IS THE MAN!!!

MacBook Pro Data Retrieval Transfer
Despite our backups, he assisted us to recover 2 files and gave us sound advice that the computer was past repair (desktop HP just over the 3 year ext warranty). Since our first repair transaction in the summer of 2014, he has aided us with our business computers as well. He's affordable, honest, and trustworthy. He has to be. We work with crime scene documentation. Not just anyone would do for the computer repairs needed. We highly recommend him! but don't want to share him. Hard drive crash? See Truong Nguyen. Problems with your Apple? See Truong Nguyen. Being able to rely on Truong Nguyen is one less headache for us. He's great to work with. Thank you again for all your help on numerous occasions and for our numerous documentation and training computers!

Hard Drive Replacement and Data Transfer for MacBook Pro 15″
When I contacted Truong on Friday morning, he offered to take it that evening, and I had it back with a completely new hard drive and all my data transferred by Sunday afternoon.
His prices are very reasonable, his work is outstanding, and I will certainly be contacting him again in the future for all our Apple products' needs.

Mac Laptop Power Issues Repair
Your recent repair of my laptop that I plugged into a 240 volt outlet on our overseas trip is a case in point. The geek squad’s analysis fee was $75 and their repair estimate was $150 to $350. In one trip to our home you repaired the laptop for much less than what would have cost with the Geek Squad. Thank you!

MacBook 13″ OS X Tuneup
I had an issue on my mac related to the speed, which he solved for me plus he did extra little details like making a shortcut on the desktop to the app settings folder that I was looking for. He works fast, and his fees are incredibly reasonable. FYI he works out of his home, so that might throw you off at first, but he is super professional and it does not feel weird or unsafe at all. He called me periodically to update me on his progress so I never wondered what was up. Overall a great experience! It's hard to find really good computer people, especially for Mac. I will 100% use Truong again the next time I need mac service or repair. Thanks Truong!

When bringing my Mac to Truong, he actually discovered a systemic issue with the product (sad day) but he provided me with options, and ultimately gave me the best solution to fit my needs.
I will be going back to Truong for future repairs & service based on the experience I had.

Mac Virus and Malware Removal
My computer was running Windows and had been infected with a virus and a lot of malware and spyware programs. I called him up and scheduled an appointment the same day (keep in mind I live about 50 minutes from the Twin Cities). Before I knew it, the two-month long nightmare of dealing with my computer had been solved. I really appreciated Truong’s friendliness and patience explaining what the problems were and what he did to fix them. My computer now runs faster than ever. I’d recommend The IT Sage to anyone who wants friendly, fast computer service!

MacBook Pro 17″ Keyboard Replacement
Over the years, we've now got Macbooks, a Time Capsule (which backs up storage, and also is used as a router), and we each have iPhones. It's funny, big computer and tech companies seem to assume that if you are buying their products, you are automatically an expert on all things IT related, so suddenly, I not only need to run my business, I need to be able to repair and configure all the computer-related issues? Email, printer, fax, scanning, wireless, hooking up to the television, now our phones...life is getting more complicated (while it's supposed to be getting simpler!) Basically, life is getting simpler with this stuff, but when it breaks, suddenly it's WAY more complicated. Truong is able to come over, sometimes even the same-day, and he ALWAYS fixes the problem - and at a very reasonable rate! He's even cheaper if you can bring your computer to him, and man, every time he comes over, I pick his brain with a bunch of other questions I always have. A+ work!!!

Apple Mac Pro Graphic Card Replacement
I dropped off my MacPro, we discussed all of the symptoms, and I was on my way. This was late Thursday afternoon. By Friday night I was up and running with a new graphics card installed, a cleaned up Mac, and some helpful information regarding a memory upgrade and general upkeep. It was truly amazing what Truong was able to do for me and my business. I couldn't be more grateful for his service, knowledge, and attitude.

Apple Mail Sending Issues
Also, my mom has severe arthritis in her hands and has difficulty controlling the mouse. Truong recommended a different kind of mouse that he thought may be easier for my mom to control and cause less hand pain. He went above and beyond the call of duty offering to pick one up and delivering it to her house for her to try out for a week. We couldn't be more pleased with the work he did and will be recommending him to family and friends. Truong is also a pleasure to work with--very polite and professional.

MacBook Pro Solid State Drive Upgrade
Brought my Macbook pro in for a new battery, track pad, and to have him place in a SSD and some new memory. Told me it would be a day, maybe 2 at most, depending on the condition of my laptop when he opened it up (it had some liquid damage).
He got everything cleaned up, repaired, and installed, even fixed a few other things free of charge. Messaged me 5 hours after I dropped it off, to tell me it was all done and ready to be picked anytime the next day.

Macbook Pro Broken Trackpad and Swollen Battery Replacement
He fixed a shattered trackpad due to a swollen battery that was replaced as well, of course and replaced the hard drive. I am very pleased with the service, my computer is running as good as new and looking as good as new! He took the time to clean it and put in another couple of rubber feet on it that had fallen off! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND contacting the IT Sage for any of your Mac repairs.

iMac Hard Drive Replacement
I found Truong using Google and he was AMAZING! He’s so nice & polite and really explains things well. He was able to install a new hard drive, an external hard drive (both with twice the memory of the old one), the newest operating system software and some necessary programs—for about the same price as what Apple would charge for the hard drive ALONE. His price also included his labor and travel fees. I would recommend Truong to anyone who needs help with their computer……he was really great to work with and got me ‘up and running’ in less than 24 hours after my initial call to him. Thanks so much, Truong!

MacBook Pro Coffee Spill Repair
Hence, I started looking for a second opinion and found Troung (IT Sage) on the web. It was one of the best things that could happen to my Mac. He was able to give me a very through evaluation of my Mac before he set the price to fix it... He revived it, got a new keyboard and updated my OS as well. Troung was able to fix it not even with a fraction of that apple price. He has excellent personality, communication skills, reliable and trustworthy. I will recommend him without a doubt to anyone who is having computer issues.

Then I came across Truong through Yelp, contacted him straight away, had him pick up my computer the following morning. Within 2 days, he had this computer fixed and now it's working in great condition. The keyboard backlight was apparently damaged (probably from plugging in my charger, which is my fault) but the logic board is fixed which is what I really need and all that matters!! He saved me FORTUNES and I would highly recommend him and I would definitely go back to him when there's a problem!

There are only a few things in life that work really well (e.g. Macs, Tivo, Snap-On Tools), and now I can add the IT Sage to the list! Truong works out of his home in St Paul, and is even willing to come to your site, if you wish. Like he did with me, he's also willing to let you buy the part, which means that the parts cost is a fraction of what it would be if you went to the manufacturer. I recommend the IT Sage's computer repair services 100%!

MacBook Pro Liquid Damage Repair
That is when I found Truong and his website, The IT Sage. He was extremely helpful in explaining the cause of my computer's problems and carefully went over what he would do to repair whatever damage may have occurred. Best of all, his price was extremely reasonable and he promised no charge if he could not repair it. Truong fixed my computer in 3 days for a fraction of the price anyone else demanded around the web. His service was local and I did not need to ship it across the country, but simply picked and dropped it from his home. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

The second time, I had left it overnight in very cold weather and my battery died. After nearly five years, it was to be expected. Truong changed the battery and also did some data recovery (now I realise the data was lost due to my dying battery). I was able to have my computer back in time to do my work and the price was very reasonable.
Fast and efficient service and he is simply NICE. I would recommend him to anyone!

I'm really glad someone could come out to see exactly what my setup was so a problem could be identified and fixed. He worked fast but took time to explain what he was doing and to answer all my questions in clear, understandable language. Now my home computer syncs with my laptop and my cell phone so I can confidently schedule business meetings, check email on the go and know that everything is backing up properly.
We have 2 hardware upgrades to make. We will certainly have him back to make those repairs. I have never been so happy with IT services and the cost was very reasonable. I hope to be a client for life.

It was unfortunate that he was not able to "mount" my hard drive, and recover the data. He recommended that I seek a professional data recovery company. I was able to pick up the drive that same day at no charge for the assessment.

So instead, I looked up "mac and computer repair online." I saw Truong's success rate and decided to call him up. Truong was able to meet with me the next day. He replaced my WiFi/Blutooth card without any hassle - within 15 minutes - and at a much lower cost than the Apple Store quoted.
I highly recommend the IT Sage and his expertise!

I decided to call Truong and he calmly explained that he was sure he could fix my problem and backup all my files.

Thanks again Troung.

After a coworker recommended him to me I asked if he could fix my very broken screen. He was able to travel to me to pick up the laptop and made sure my screen looked as good as new! I was amazed that he could fix such an old (but beloved) laptop and make it look brand new for way less money or hassle than going to the apple store.
He is so friendly and professional--I've been raving about him to everyone I know!!

Macbook Pro Graphic Card Booting Issue
After determining the issue was fairly expensive to fix and knowing that it wouldn't likely last long, he soundly advised me to not do the repair and proceeded to copy everything from my computer to an external hard drive to give me access to the files I lost when the machines unexpectedly broke down on me.
Very personable and friendly, willing to offer truly sage advice with cost in mind.

Apple iMac 27″ Data Recovery
Within four hours he had diagnosed the problem and began a recovery scan. When he determined his software was not capable of performing the "deep scan" necessary to recover valuable data, he referred me to a national company to begin the recovery-all within 48 hours. Truon is professional, prompt, and thorough. He communicates while teaching the customer about the problem. His fees are very reasonable and I highly recommend his work. My operating system is OS X but he obviously works on many platforms.

Thanks so much. I will be bringing my Mac Probook over sometime in the future and when my son finishes college, I now know a place I can take his if he needs work done. The IT Sage did not talk tech mumbo jumbo to me, and was not tech condescending nor did he try and sell me something I didn't need. He was very helpful in explaining in lay terms options for me and what was going on with my iMac. I couldn't have asked for much more. (The dog Max, is a real charmer too!!!) Thanks Truong!
