Fantastic service, great prices. He takes the time to explain what is wrong and exactly what needs fixed. Great conversation. Ballard has replaced multiple phone screens and ipad screens for me. They are my first choice to get a screen replacement.

I went in to do a minor repair but his honesty directed me to not follow through with the repair. You dont see that everyday! You can tell he bases his work on honesty, we then went on to have a great talk. He has passion for computers, software and hardware as a whole. Highly recommend!

Really great! Marvin knows his technology and after I told him exactly what I needed/ wanted, he built me a beautiful custom computer. Whenever I have questions he is available or gets back with me very soon. After I picked up my computer, he walked me through programs and set-ups. Really appreciate his work and it’s great to have someone who really knows what he’s talking about. You won’t be disappointed!

I had a rather ofd hardware issue with my laptop and when I called to ask if they could fix it, the person I spoke to went out of their way to help me resolve the issue on my own. I had called many other places that simply just said they couldnt help. The quality of service and professionalism far exceeded my expectations. Thank You

Marvin at Ballard Computes has fixed several of my phones. He is typically always available same day and works with your schedule to accommodate getting you in to fix whatever problem you are experiencing. His prices are fair and he is very knowledgeable- both times he was able to fix my phone while I was standing there in 20 mins or less! Amazing, I will send anyone to him who is experiencing technical difficulties of any kind.

I stopped by Ballard Computes LLC today because my touchpad on my laptop had suddenly stopped working. Marvin found the solution within minutes and also helped me install computer updates. He was friendly and helpful. I would recommend going to him for computer help, and I am definitely going back to him with any computer issues I have in the future.

Whenever I reached out to Marvin, he always got back to me right away! I had to get my laptop fixed because it wasnt charging and when I brought it to him, he opened it up in front of me and told me exactly what the issue was, which I greatly appreciated. He told me what he planned to do to fix it which didnt take long and it was at a very reasonable price! I appreciated how he cared about his customers and that I could rely on him with my laptop without worrying about a thing. I liked that I got to know who was fixing and opening my laptop and how I knew exactly what was going on. Definitely coming back whenever I run into an issue with any of my electronics!

Initially, I brought my laptop to Ballard Computes LLC because it was overheating. Not only did he thoroughly explain the root cause of the issue, but he also recommended upgrades that ultimately improved the speed and performance of my machine that will easily add years to its life. Paid a reasonable amount given the value he added to my laptop and I am more than satisfied with the end result.

He was amazing! Like I have never had better service and felt more heard at a computer place. He gave good advice and I left feeling great! He gives a good price and gives you all the information before you make a decision to fix your laptop or ditch it. I will be referring everyone I know to this man, my family is for sure going to go to this man with all our electronic needs. I went in for a cracked laptop screen, and after some deliberation and hearing all about my computer, I decided I might need to buy a new one :(. But all the information he gave was very helpful and was very responsive to whatever decision I made.

By far the best computer service I have experienced!! He is very passionate about what he does and you can tell that through his work. He helped fix my laptop screen and was very careful and efficient while doing it! Throughout the process he also was helpful in explaining everything he was doing and how to prevent further problems from occurring on my laptop. Very kind-hearted and intelligent individual!

Marvin was amazing! When my Mac stopped working, another computer place told me it was old enough that I needed to replace it.

We made a quick call at 9:15pm on a Friday night over a gaming computer issue and a 15 year old teen! (Enough said tight there!!) Mr. Ballard was so patient, kind and sincere. Walked my 15 year old son through how to reset the battery and properly install the RAM. Bingo.. all was right in our world again! Thank you for your time and kindness! So much appreciated!!

Marvin is good at looking at problems from a multitude of angles! Got my gaming PC up and running in a timely manner, with good communication along the way.

I called him at around 7:15PM the other day and he answered considering he was closing soon. I told him that my macbook air’s screen was not working properly and I needed my lamp too badly due to having classes online the next day. He suggested that I bring in the laptop the next day after my classes and he’ll see what he could do. I brought in the laptop the next day after my last class and I got a call by 6PM saying that my laptop was good to go and everything was fixed. He was really nice, texted me throughout and gave me updates. Definitely saving his contact info and coming to him in the future.

SO glad I stumbled on Ballard Computes! They are everything they say they are on their website (which is the definition of trust). Fixed my MacBook when everyone else was either making excuses or saying it was hopeless. The Geniuses at the Bar just shrugged and advised me to wipe my hard drive. Thankful I didnt listen - Ballard fixed it in less than 24h for a very reasonable charge. And gave lots of sound advice. If you want a place that can help when nobody else can or will - if you want somebody who knows what they are doing and has a fast turnaround at affordable rates - just go here. Theyre open every day till late.

Marvin is a man with a lot of knowledge and experience on computers. He charges fairly for his services and he’s also a workaholic so he won’t hesitate to get the job done. One thing that’s more important than those things is that he’s honest. It doesn’t matter if you have the best PC tech in the world repairing your computer, if you can’t trust him then all that knowledge and experience means nothing. Marvin is the trifecta: Great work ethic, honesty, and knowledge. I highly recommend you go to him with any PC problems!-Carson

Marvin was very knowledgeable and helpful on my Macbook Pro issues. He identified the problem immediately and was able to recover data at a great, reasonable cost. He also gave me some practical tips on how to go about fixing the issue under Apples warranty. He truly cares for his customers and their experiences with their computers.

Marvin is absolutely amazing! I had some really poor experiences with a place I recently bought a laptop from and did not want to deal with them anymore so I called here.

10/10 recommend. Ive taken my MacBook here twice - once for a new hard drive and again for a new battery. Marvin Ballard was personable and honest, and I appreciated his expertise. On both occasions the price was reasonable, and the work was done in a timely manner. He texted a few days later to check in, which was a nice, unexpected touch.

Marvin is very resourceful and knowledgeable on everything that has to deal with computers, he has helped me on several occasions. He tries everything he can with a client before giving up or recommending a replacement.

I called Marvin early in the morning about an issue I had with my Mac. He was on his way out the door for a mini vacation. He took the time to help me with my issue over the phone prior to his trip. Unfortunately, I dont have much technological intelligence. I called Marvin back several hours later. He again took the time to walk me through my issue and fix my computer over the phone - WHILE HE WAS ON HIS TRIP! Marvin not only provided me with some outstanding customer service, he also helped me fix my computer while he was on vacation. Ill never go to a different computer repair shop. Thank you for your time and help, Marvin!!

DO NOT go anywhere else !!!! A few weeks ago I needed a keypad replaced on an old laptop .I found Ballard Computes on the web. Being only 3 miles from my home and open on Saturday I thought Id give them a try. I called and Marvin said to come in now. I arrived expecting to be told to come back in a week for the repair to be done. Much to my surprise Marvin was able to swap out the keypad in 5 minutes. He is very knowledgeable, honest, competent and an absolute pleasure to speak with. You will not be disappointed. This is the way all businesses should be run. As I said in the beginning, DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

Walked in off the street with my sons damaged laptop. Marvin (the owner) immediately stopped what he was doing to access our situation and provide best recommendations for the short and long term and our budget. As it turned out, while our problem was technically fixable, it was one that often had hidden problems that would not be anticipated and calculated into the cost until Marvin opened up the machine. He was very upfront and honest with us in his assessment and we made the decision not to repair our machine but to replace it. Marvin shared with us his recommendations on the computer out there in our budget and even told us how we could make the new machine faster with some very simple and inexpensive upgrades that he did, same day. I trusted him immediately for his knowledge and walked out same day with the upgrades he suggested on our newly purchased machine. It was a great experience. In fact, Im heading over there now so that he can fix the computer screen on my daughters laptop. Ballard Computes is fast, friendly and fair. An excellent experience. Highly recommend!

I walked in today without an appointment after getting little help at the Apple Store, and within half an hour, Marvin found and fixed the problem with my laptop! I had been told before I needed to replace my keyboard, but Marvins offer was significantly cheaper and faster than anything BestBuy or Apple could offer. He talked me through everything he was doing with my device and even gave me some helpful tips along the way. Youll find great and reliable service here; I highly recommend! :) Thank you so much Marvin!!

He was very informative and excited about computers, you could tell he knew computers really well. Went in to get advise on my Dell computer whose screen was lighting up and had no image on it but did have lines through it.......it had some previous damage as well. Advised me against getting the computer fixed since there was so much other damage and to go forth with a new computer. Saved me the effort of sending my computer out through the mail to Dell and getting same answer from them but for a lot more money and a lot more time

I dropped and cracked my phone pretty badly on Saturday. I messaged Marvin on Yelp and received a response no more than 10 minutes later Sunday. He was out of town, but said he would come fix my phone for me the same day when he returned. When I got there, he was very friendly and definitely knowledgeable working with iPhones. He made sure to carefully test everything after installing my new screen to make sure everything ran smoothly. I was in and out in less than an hour. Compared to other places, Ballard Computes was by far the most reasonably priced. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone coming to him! Excellent communication and customer service.

I just moved to Fishers, and upon arriving my desktop computer (which was shipped) was not starting. Assuming the power supply was knocked around I brought it in to Marvin to check it out. He did a thorough checkout of my computer because it actually turned out nothing was damaged in the shipment, but rather my hard drives had some long outstanding issues. I bought a new hard drive, he charged a very fair amount for labor, and in a timely manner I had my computer back working better than before. He even cleaned and organized the interior of the unit. Very satisfactory work by Marvin, and would recommend.
