What we do
Every tool answers instantly from our own knowledge base and calculators — no AI cost, no waiting, no account. The free answer is designed to be genuinely useful on its own: an honest next step, clear plain-English reasoning, a calm fix order — and, where it belongs, a signpost to the manufacturer's official support or to a qualified professional for the things DIY should not touch.
The paid report
When you want a deeper, personalised written plan, it costs $2.95 — about one cup of coffee. The fee pays for a detailed written report for your situation and keeps the free tools free.
Who we are
Independent operators, not a repair service, manufacturer or warranty provider. We sell clarity, not repairs — we never guarantee that any fix works, we never charge for remote help we cannot deliver, and we never ask for access to your device.
Our promise
Educational troubleshooting only, always calm and honest about limits — devices, operating systems, software versions, subscriptions and prices vary widely and change (we write from a New Zealand base), and the steps here are general guidance, not a promise. Back up important files before big changes, and for data you cannot lose, warranty work, mains power or hardware you are unsure about, a qualified professional is the right next step. Nothing you type is stored.
