Well, it’s not often that my translation skills get used for Mandarin. But I do love a challenge, especially when it comes to creating posters!

We’ve all faced those stress moments: a stubborn computer tempts us to give it a “gentle nudge”—only for that nudge to make things worse! Technology shines until it fails, and a dropped broadband connection or a power cut can halt your entire day.
I recently called a client to invite them onto our “Community” page.
They greeted me with a shocked, “How did you know???”
They had struggled to start their office computer and finally gave it a sharp slap! In an instant, the power died and the broadband vanished. It turns out the router sat right on top of the PC; the owner had knocked it straight into the main power switch, killing everything!
Be nice, or they will assimilate us…..
At Bluesdigital, we’re here to take that frustration away. Whether it’s a simple cable fix or a deep system recovery, we get you back to work quickly and calmly.

As we all know, It’s a total pain when your computer stops working. But this is when you find out if the warranty that comes with it is any good.
Yesterday I saw three examples of how claiming on a warranty can be very different.
Case #1 : a client dropped by with a desktop pc that he purchased from me just over a year ago. He advised me that after a “Windows” update, it was now failing to boot up.
As is quite often the case when people have struggled to get a computer started, I plugged it in & it started first time!
Turns out it was a windows update that had failed, causing the problem. There’s so many reasons this can happen, but a quick disk cleanup & optimisation of the SSD usually gets things rolling again.
15min’s work, no charge, happy customer!
Case #2 : Next was a lady with a laptop that was also not starting, along with some unpleasant beeping. Some months ago she had contacted me for advice on what to look for in a refurbished laptop.
She settled on a decent little HP Elitebook from Ebay, which was £40 cheaper than one I was selling.
However, when she contacted the seller about the problem, they advised her that she would have to arrange & pay to ship it back to them. They also advised her that it would take 2-3 weeks for it to repaired or replaced.
She grudgingly agreed to return the laptop, but it was only after several calls & emails that it was finally returned, over 5 weeks later.
The problem reared it’s head immediately, and she contacted the seller again & awaited a reply Eventually they responded (after 3 days) & asked her to ship it back once more, at her own cost.
After another 3 weeks without a laptop, it finally turned up, but was still not working, arghhhhhhh!
It was at this point that she contacted me to see if I could help.
As it happens, it was just a faulty memory module. Very easy to diagnose, and as it’s an Elitebook, just 5 min to replace.
10 mins total, £25 (including s/h memory module)
Case #3 : This time it was a Dell laptop that I had supplied 11 months ago. No power, no lights, nothing. A quick test of the power supply & everything became apparent. The voltages were all over the place.
After chatting with the customer, it turned out that her nephew had “Borrowed” her power supply, and sent her a cheap replacement “Off the Internet”
Once I plugged in a decent power supply, it booted first time.
So i guess the moral of this story is: Beware the “Bargain” & “Shop Local” for good customer service.
