PC Scientist · Umina Beach

Umina Beach computer repairs and IT support for family homes and small offices

The family PC will not open the school portal, the laptop charger only works at a certain angle, and the Wi-Fi gives up somewhere near the laundry. All three have practical answers, and none of them means a new computer by default.

PC Scientist visits Umina Beach homes to repair the hardware, or sorts logins, mail and software remotely, and tells you honestly whether a repair is worth it.
