OUR NEW BUSINESS MODEL
Changing times
Greenbush Computer Fare started out in 1998 in rented space in VanDenHouten Square. Several years later we moved to our own building in Schodack, about 2.5 miles further east on Columbia Tpke. We've hired many technicians over the years but our new business model has no employees. One of the technicians we used to employ, Erik, now has his own shop elsewhere but will at times rent tech bench space here and take on some of our overflow of repairs. If you or an aspiring technician you know is interested in being self employed in this industry, doing mobile repairs or renting workspace at Greenbush Computer Fare, please reach out to Dave at the number on our main page.
Service
What kinds of service work do you do ?
We do all the usual upgrades, virus removal, hard drive replacement, data recovery etc...as well as the types of repairs that other shops aren't equipped to handle such as; broken laptop screens, hinges and power sockets, blown motherboard capacitors and other soldering repairs.
We can also do certain specific computer repairs as well as printer, wireless and network setups at your location.
Computer Recycling
We are big on recycling. Bring your tired old computers and parts to us for proper recycling. Don't worry about any personal data that may be on your hard drive. We will back it up and return it to you or destroy it at your discretion.
Keeping Your Computer Cool
Computers accumulate dust in their cooling systems and this can cause your CPU to overheat and act erratically or melt down. Please don't attempt to vacuum out the dust. The static generated from the vacuum destroys electronics. Canned air doesn't have enough pressure or volume to do the job. Bring your PC or laptop in and we will clean the dust out...usually while you wait and usually at no charge.
Oddball repairs
We have repaired broken HDMI ports in Xbox and other gaming consoles, replaced blown capacitors on all kinds of circuit boards and we've even recharged a couple of depleted hybrid car batteries. It never hurts to ask.
