Below are some of the more common problems we see
No Internet in Australia
One of the most frustrating problems we face is when the internet goes down. "No internet!" - the whole freaks out! You have no WiFi, the TV won't connect to the wireless and you can't get email or Facebook etc because the internet isn't going! You have a router which has various lights on it, some flashing, some not and it simply isn't clear what the problem is. You may have ADSL, VDSL or Fibre but the speed of your internet does not matter when it's not going at all! Thank goodness for cell phones with data - you may be reading this page on your mobile. But don't worry we can help! We're experts at fixing internet issues - we literally repair them every day as this is one of the most common issues we deal with. We've fixed everything from dead modems (or a modem router pretending to be dead) through to a dodgy connection at Spark's end where we had to convince them to take action. It's very common for modem routers to have a fault or to require resetting. Are there repairs near me?
repair near me.
If you have no internet, the first thing you should do is restart (or reboot) the modem router. The router is a smallish box (you could hold it in one hand easily) with flashing lights on it. Find the power switch and turn it off for 1 minute, then turn it on and wait 5 to 10 minutes. The reason you need to wait before seeing if the internet is going is to give the modem time to connect to the Internet Service Provider (ISP). Typically, it will connect within a minute or two but sometimes it can take longer.

Call us now, and we can get your internet going today. If you are in a hurry we even have an urgent internet repair service, so we will be out to you within an hour. We carry modems, routers, network switches, cables and many other network related parts, so we can help you straight away.
Email is one of the most critical ways we communicate digitally. Whether you use Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Mac Mail, Gmail, Hotmail or anything else, we can help you get it going again. Some common problems with email include...
-
No internet repair
-
Email Not Working
-
Can't send or receive emails
-
Email not syncing
-
Missing individual emails or email folders
Do you know your email settings? It's important to have them all written down for future reference. You need - your email address (an easy one), your password (yes, every email address has an associated password), the incoming mail settings, the outgoing mail settings, port numbers for each and whether your login requires SSL. It's quite a lot of things to remember so best to write it down somewhere because if you miss a single one of these details your email will not work. Luckily your ISP or email provider can usually help supply most of this information or reset your password. If you do need to reset your password be aware that they will demand you prove your identity before they will proceed. If you are with a company like Spark, often the account number on your bill is sufficient. If you are with Google (Gmail) then you will be unlikely to speak to a person so will need to have previously setup the security questions and answers.
MacBook Not Starting
No one likes having a broken computer. We carry many parts for MacBooks and MacBook Pro which results in a quick repair for you. Be aware that many Apple MacBook components are non-standard and only used for a few models in a series. We cover this by always adding to our stocks thus ensuring you get your MacBook as quick as can be. We can often do screen replacements for MacBooks - but some of the newer models can't be done - pop it in for us to check! Apple doesn't make this process easy as they want to hold tightly to their own methods - often to the detriment of their own customers. In fact Apple's preferred repair method is for you to buy a new computer.
One simple, easy call to 1300Nerdcore
The Nerdcore Group Australia have worked hard to make MacBook both speedy and reasonably priced. For years we heard stories of official repairers making customers wait weeks for repairs and charging, literally, thousands. We decided to do something about that. Read this article for an example. So for the past 10+ years we have been working on systems and processes to make MacBook repairs fast and effective. If your Mac isn't turning on, has the scary startup folder, or the rainbow of death then call and we can help. For more info about Mac repairs in general click here.
iMac Repairs
We can't be beaten when it comes to fixing your Apple iMac. We can fix a large variety of issues and usually at a much better price and time frame than sending it direct to Apple or their agent. Over the years we've fixed up blown power supplies, sorted out the "rainbow of death", and the equally scary "folder of death". If your operating system is not loading we have a variety of tools that may fix it without the need to wipe and reinstall Mac OSX. We'll also advise if your system does need a reinstall and help you with the best way to minimize disruption.
