  Frequently Asked Questions

Page Last Updated: May 30,2008

The following are some of the most common calls we recieve at Lyons Computers.

Question Do you make house calls?

Answer Yes, we make calls to both business and residential locations.
We ask the customers to provide a safe working environment for our technicians to perform their work.
For residences, we ask that an adult be at home for the length of the call.

Question Do you accept American Express?

Answer Yes, we are happy to accept credit cards including American Express for the convenience of our customers.

On very large orders involving hardware purchases however, we may charge additional surcharge on credit card orders.

Question I have lost my AC Adapter for my notebook. Do you have one in stock?

Answer While they all appear the same, each notebook manufacturer has a different AC Adapter for each of their models.
Please contact us with the exact make and model of your notebook computer, and please be prepared for a sticker shock, replacement AC adapters are not inexpensive!
Further, they cannot be returned. So the best way is to bring your laptop/notebook and make sure you are buying the correct adapter.

Question What kind of guarantees do you offer?

Answer We offer guarantees on par with industry's standards. 
On new hardware purchases, we will document all warranties on your behalf, and will contact the manufacturers.
On computer parts, we offer a "no lemon" guarantee. If your item is DOA, we will replace it.
There are no guarantees or warranties on data recovery or labor intensive jobs -- we ask for your authorization before work begins on these projects.
We also offer a "estimate guarantee" that you will never get a bill from us that you didn't expect (we will tell you how much it costs upfront).
We accept no returns. We are a professional services company that works hard for our customers. Our invoices are non-negotiable.

Question Do you buy used computer equipment?

Answer We regret that we are unable to buy equipment that we cannot easily resell.
However, we may accept your working computer equipment  for a trade-in.

Question Do you accept donations of used computer equipment?

Answer If accompanied by $25/item recycling fee, we will accept your old computers for disposal. Many of the computer parts contain harmful compositions, so please do not throw away computers along with kitchen garbage.
Remember, the best way to recycle is to fix the computer and use it longer!

Question Do you have a maintenance contract?

Answer We do not have elaborate contracts. We have just basic best practices to protect ourselves and our customers. We document all our work. We ask for authorizations before beginning work, and all our deliverables must be received by a customer representative. You can hire and fire us at any time. We encourage you to use us on a  pay-as-you-go basis.
