    Our experienced technicians will diagnose the issue and arrange for a replacement screen without delay. Please note we do not offer this service Onsite, as these repairs need to be carried out in a static free environment

S. Whittaker, Cury

iT-ology quickly diagnosed the problem with our computer and gave us priced options to repair or renew. We chose renew, they sourced a new computer, transferred all of our data and we were back up and running in days. Great service.

When I needed to replace my laptop, I knew just who to call, iT-ology had previously resolved an email problem and my slow running laptop some time ago. I decided to go for a desktop rather than another laptop and needed all my data, programs and settings migrated to the new machine. iT-ology were careful to understand my requirements, recommended exactly the right equipment, purchased it, migrated all my stuff, and came to the house to set it up and make sure it was all working. Can't recommend too highly

Really friendly, and super quick to fix my laptop. I thought it was fit for the bin but now it’s working better than ever for a reasonable price. They even fixed a few other bits that I didn’t know was needed at no extra charge. Even a drop off and pick up service for a small cost. I highly recommend!

G. Pamflett, Helston

Very happy to recommend iT-ology! Against the odds they managed to recover all of my lost files and nearly 20 years of family photos from my very old and very dead Mac! Very knowledgeable, approachable and understanding, they were very clear in explaining the level of work and time involved in the task and kept me updated throughout the process.
