Common Questions About Tech-help
Can you set it up so my wireless keyboard and mouse work with all computers?
Yes - that's one of the main benefits. Your wireless keyboard/mouse connects to the KVM switch, and the switch connects to each computer. When you switch computers, your keyboard and mouse switch too. Much better than having multiple sets cluttering your desk.
Can you set it at the right height for me?
Yes - that's part of the service. Screen should be at arm's length away, top of screen at or slightly below eye level. Prevents neck strain from looking up or hunching forward. I'll set it correctly for how you sit.
How secure are these compared to normal locks?
Same or better. They've got the same physical lock mechanism as a good quality traditional lock, plus they log who comes and goes. Most can't be picked remotely - that's TV nonsense. Biggest risk is someone nicking your phone, but you've got a passcode on that anyway.
Why would I pay someone to clean my laptop?
Because it's easy to damage screens with wrong products - kitchen spray, wet wipes, paper towels all cause problems. Plus keyboard cleaning needs proper tools to get crumbs out without damaging keys. I've got the right products and know how to clean thoroughly without breaking anything.
Do I need to back anything up before you clean it?
Not really, unless you want me to take the laptop away for a deeper clean. For on-site work, I'm not touching any files or settings - just physically cleaning the keyboard hardware.
What's involved in setting up an AV receiver?
Connecting all your speakers (5.1 or 7.1 surround), running HDMI from TV and devices (Sky box, Blu-ray, games console), configuring audio settings, calibrating surround sound for your room size, and programming remote controls. It's properly fiddly if you've never done it.
