No BitLocker Recovery Key
+ Dead Motherboard

If BitLocker is on and the key is missing, the drive can’t be accessed in another computer.

The fix is getting the original machine to boot so it can unlock the drive.
Motherboard repair may be required to make that happen long enough to recover the data. I can attempt that repair and get your data back.

When Nobody Else Will Touch It

If help can’t be found for it, the project can be taken on anyway. This is for computerized systems and machine control systems like CNC machines, plasma cutters, car wash automation, and other “odd” equipment that typical repair shops won’t touch. Even if the exact system has never been seen before, the problem can still be traced, isolated, and explained clearly, then a practical path forward is recommended. Budget concerns need to be addressed up front—this is a specialized, time-intensive service and is honestly the least affordable category offered. Still, when the alternative is replacing an expensive system, having someone capable of breaking down how it works and getting it running again can be the better option.

Network Engineering
(Wired + Wi-Fi)

Affordable help for homeowners and small businesses. Simple Wi-Fi fixes are handled the right way, and full network build-outs are available when needed. Granular control over network settings helps prevent repeat issues down the line.
Services can cover the full job from planning to installation: network layout, hardware selection, and structured cabling. Work includes running and terminating Ethernet drops, installing wall jacks and network hardware, and building the core network from modem to router to switches and Wi-Fi. Setup can also include racks/cabinets, UPS placement, access point mounting, and mesh or wired backhaul configuration. After everything is live, coverage and performance are validated, problem areas are corrected, and labeling/documentation is provided.

Common Network Features & Add-Ons
  • Reliable whole-home/whole-office Wi-Fi coverage (mesh or access points)
  • Ethernet drops to rooms, offices, TVs, and game consoles
  • Hard-wired backhaul for mesh systems (better speed and stability)
  • Dedicated access points (ceiling/wall mounted) for clean coverage
  • Network switches for expanding wired ports
  • Wired network for workstations, printers, and servers/NAS
  • Separate guest Wi-Fi network
  • IoT network separation (smart TVs, cameras, thermostats, etc.)
