My mother was having issues with accessing emails on her computer. Truong came out to her house and was quickly able to fix the problem. My mom has limited knowledge about computers and Truong was very patient and took a lot of time to work with my mom and explain the problem and how to prevent it from happening in the future. 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. View Full →
Retina MacBook Pro Bootcamp Installation
I used Truong The IT Sage for a project recently and he met 100% of my expectations. He was prompt, professional and articulate. Can’t say enough good things about him. Do not hesitate to call him for help with your needs.
Mac Virus and Malware Removal
My MacBook was in a horrible condition before I decided to give Truong The IT Sage a chance. I had spoken with several other computer repair businesses, and their estimate fee alone to diagnose the problem was outrageous. So I was pleasantly surprised by The IT Sage’s guarantee that if he couldn’t fix it, I wouldn’t have to pay. Luckily, he did fix it though – and at a fraction of the cost. 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 View Full →
Apple Airport Extreme and Express Network Setup
Our home network, which is quite complex, needed some connectivity work that was over my head. Truong, the IT Sage, arrived on time dressed neatly and was very courteous. Hi sEnglish is splendid and his demeanor is wonderful. He is a great guy. However, I hired him to work my network over and boy did he. His understanding of the complexities of an advanced wireless network with many devices competing for airspace is thorough. He is very reasonably priced and I will not hesitate to make him my first call for my home or office next time. I highly recommend View Full →
Apple MacBook Pro Hard Drive Replacement
The hard drive in my MacBook Pro crashed for the second time in a year. The first time this happened, I went to two Apple stores (Rosedale AND MOA) and they basically told me that since I purchased my computer through MacMall, there was nothing they could do for me….even though my computer was still covered by Apple care. So I bought a hard drive on http://newegg.com and had it put in and spent too much time and money on the process. Come 10 months later (May 2013), the same thing happened again. I was determined to find a better View Full →
MacBook Pro 17″ Keyboard Replacement
For any computer problems, Truong is awesome! I live in St. Paul, MN, and have used him through his website as the IT Sage (that’s how I met him) six times over the last few years. Both my wife and I have Macintosh computers and we work for ourselves at home, and when problems come up, especially for configuration (which has to be done physically here, where we are, with all out equipment here), Truong will literally come to our home and fix up the problem. Over the years, we’ve now got Macbooks, a Time Capsule (which backs up storage, View Full →
MacBook Pro 15″ Hinge Repair
My laptop was damaged during shipment and needed to have a part replaced at the hinge area. I was very impressed by how fast I received the repair estimate and how reasonable the charges were. My laptop is like brand new again and I could not be happier. There is no doubt in my mind that Truong is very committed to customer service. Give him a try, you will not be disappointed.
MacBook Pro RAM Issue Repair
It’s Thanksgiving and I have one more thing to be thankful for—a working (2006) Macbook Pro and discovery of a Mac technician who knows these machines at the level of the molecule. 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 View Full →
MacBook Milk Spill Damage Repair
I spilled a glass of milk on my Macbook Pro. The Apple Genius bar said the logic board was ruined and that it would cost over $900 to replace it. They encouraged me to buy a new laptop instead. I brought it to Truong who carefully cleaned the logic board. He brought my computer back from the dead and for a fraction of the price. Thank you so much.
MacBook Keyboard Replacement
Trustworthy, and knowledgeable at a fair price… I don’t have much to say, except that I’m another happy customer! I was most impressed by Truong’s accessibility. I work a couple part time jobs and go to school, so its difficult for me to fit everyone else’s 9 to 5 schedule into mine. Being able to call in the late evening put my anxious mind at ease. 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) View Full →
