Why Virginia Tech sends us their tech
A student- and faculty-friendly repair shop for the Virginia Tech community — fast triage, straight answers, and turnaround that respects your Canvas calendar.
Most of our Virginia Tech customers come from Upper Quad, Oak Lane, Prices Fork and the areas around Torgersen Hall and Newman Library. Getting here is easy: From campus, head south on Main St / 460 toward Christiansburg. Take Exit 3B (Peppers Ferry Rd), turn onto New River Rd — 782 New River Rd, inside the Uptown Christiansburg mall. Roughly 15–20 minutes depending on game-day traffic.
The problems we see most from Virginia Tech are backlight, hinge, and keyboard failures on 3+ year old student laptops, ssd replacement and windows/macos clone before finals week, gpu thermal issues on gaming laptops during long study sessions. Whatever yours turns out to be, the diagnostic is $25 — credited toward your repair — and you'll have a written price before we start.

It's great having a local business you can trust for tech support in the New River Valley.”
“They created a fantastic logo for NRV Food Fest that captured exactly what I was looking for, and their printing services have been fast, professional, and high quality every time. They've also helped with our computer repairs, getting everything back up and running quickly without the stress.”

Game Console Repair questions from Virginia Tech
Do you repair consoles in-house or ship them out?▾
Everything is repaired here in Christiansburg — nothing gets boxed up and mailed to a depot. That's why most console jobs come back in a few days instead of a few weeks.
My console has no picture on the TV — is that the HDMI port?▾
Very often, yes. A bent or cracked HDMI port is the single most common console failure we see, usually after a cable gets knocked. It's a board-level repair and it's fixable — the $25 diagnostic confirms whether it's the port, the cable or the HDMI chip before you commit to anything.
