It all began with a spilled soda on my wife's MacBook Pro—a computer financed through student loans to support her education. This incident occurred back in 2006, when finding parts or repair manuals was no easy task. Faced with an expensive repair quote from Apple, nearly the cost of a new computer, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
After disassembling the MacBook, I discovered that the only components damaged were the keyboard and trackpad. However, sourcing replacement parts at a reasonable price proved challenging. Instead, I opted to sell the functional parts on eBay, ultimately earning enough to replace the entire laptop.
A few weeks later, a classmate of my wife faced a similar disaster with her MacBook. After helping her sell the usable parts from her broken machine, a new business idea began to take shape.
Though our operation has grown significantly since those early days, our mission remains unchanged: we find broken computers, diagnose the issues, test the salvaged parts, and ensure those good components reach people who need them, making computer repairs more affordable.
We take great pride in our work, knowing that each computer we process helps prevent several machines from becoming e-waste.
