Introducing a New Member of Our Team... AA Whittlesey Computers Ltd has recently had another bright young mind join, and you may have seen him in the shop or heard him on the phone and this month he is writing this article.

i, I’m Liam. My specialty is phone repairs, and general computer maintenance. I am currently learning motherboard repairs which AA Whittlesey Computers undertakes in-house and is a very difficult process. I originally got into computer repairs in my early teens as I found the subject intriguing and fun. You will find me in the shop from Tuesday to Saturday alongside Oliver, but not Sundays. Be there or be a cracked phone screen, am I right? No one wants one of those! So, come on in and let me repair it for you! As I specialise in phone repairs, AA Whittlesey Computers is now doing any/all jobs relating to phones and tablets again. So, if you have a broken phone or tablet laying around that is just gathering dust, bring it in and I will look at it for you. This month as a special deal for university students we are again offering top of the range HP laptops at a massive discount. At only £600 with a full software build and a three-year warranty these laptops are a steal. Doing everything from browsing the web all the way to graphics and games design. All you will need to get this discount is provide us with a valid university identification card or acceptance letter. Stocks are limited so do come into the shop for more information. If your laptop or desktop is running especially hot or has suddenly become very slow, do bring it in to the shop. It will most likely be filled with dirt! Running a computer like this can be very bad for the hardware inside and needs to be looked at as soon as possible. I know this has been mentioned before but in the few weeks since joining AA Whittlesey Computers I have seen 11 burned out laptops which, for a modest repair cost, would still be working now! Also, now that I have joined, we are able to offer computer lessons six days a week, although you
are requested to phone and check availability beforehand. Finally, and ending on a very serious note, this month we have seen two incidents where we have been requested to unlock iPhones because a loved one has sadly passed and left a password on their device. We know this can be hard times for families and loved ones. Even more so if you cannot notify friends/work colleagues of their passing, or even have photos to remember them. The reason we’re writing this segment is because we think it’s important for loved ones to be able to access these things in case of either an emergency or following an incident such as this. To that end we suggest you keep a paper copy of all email addresses, passwords, lock screen passwords and other vital details. It really is incredibly difficult to get Apple to release this information; albeit the company is very, very helpful. But why not help prevent this hassle for your loved ones in the first place? Thank you for reading and happy computing! Deborah, Len, Liam and Oliver
