What if I am not sure which service I need?

That is common. The best place to start is our Computer Services page for a clear overview of available help. If you would rather describe the problem directly, you can submit a support request, or give us a call at 253-778-3499.

What is the difference between virus and malware cleanup and scam cleanup?

Virus & Malware Cleanup is for infected systems, suspicious software, spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and broader malicious software problems. Scam Cleanup & Remote Access Removal is for fake virus alerts, scam popups, fake support incidents, and unauthorized remote access.

What is the difference between network setup and WiFi troubleshooting?

Network & WiFi Setup is for installing, replacing, configuring, or improving a network. Home WiFi Troubleshooting is for diagnosing active problems like weak signal, dead zones, dropped connections, buffering, or unstable performance.

Can you recover lost or inaccessible files?

In most cases, yes. ErlenTek provides data recovery assistance for deleted files, corrupted storage, damaged drives, and systems that will no longer boot properly when important data is still on the device. Recovery success depends on the condition of the storage device and how quickly the issue is evaluated, so early action is important.

Do you work with both home and business clients?

Yes. ErlenTek works with both residential and small business clients throughout South King County. We provide general computer services for homes and more business-focused services such as business IT services, business network troubleshooting, server setup/repair, and IT consulting when needed.

Do I need to bring my system to ErlenTek?

That depends. Some problems are better addressed in our shop such as computers and systems that need extended diagnostics, advanced hardware repairs, microsoldering, screen replacement, etc, while other problems may need a technician on-site such as WiFi issues, network problems, multiple monitor setups, networked printers, etc. If you are not sure how to proceed we can be reached through our website, you can call us at 253-778-3499, or you can come see us at our office in Auburn  - we are always happy to talk to clients. 

What kinds of hardware problems does ErlenTek fix?

ErlenTek fixes many different types of computer hardware problems; Laptop screen replacements, keyboard replacements, liquid damage, laptop hinge damage repairs, power switches & buttons, DC jacks, SSD replacements, failed RAM, and even soldering and micro soldering. We pride ourselves in figuring out what the real problem is - not just swapping out parts. We even work on PS5 and Xbox consoles.

Service is available at our Auburn location or on-site, depending on the type of service needed.
