PC Scientist · Newcastle
Upstairs in a city terrace the Wi-Fi gives out, while a lakeside home office at Warners Bay keeps freezing on client calls. Newcastle households and small workshops tend to ring with one question: who can come and look properly?
PC Scientist covers Newcastle and Lake Macquarie in person and remotely, from repairs and support to cameras, mailboxes and new devices. Request a call back, or ask for a written quote before anything is booked.

FAQ
Yes. The inner city and the beaches are part of the usual area, along with Mayfield, Jesmond, Wallsend, Kotara, Adamstown and Charlestown. Around the lake we get to Warners Bay, Boolaroo, Belmont and nearby spots.
If you are further out, ask and we will tell you honestly what is possible and when.
Sometimes. If the fault is a setting, a firmware update or the provider's side, a remote session can find it. If the modem is failing or badly placed, someone needs to be there.
We work out which it is on the phone, so you are not paying for a trip that a screen share could have handled.

Bring a list of the other niggles too. One visit can often clear several for a home office or small shop.
Yes. We look after home offices, sole traders, workshops and small businesses across the city and around Lake Macquarie, alongside households.

If a shop tablet or a home office connection has more than one sensible fix, we lay the options side by side so you can choose.
