GATEWAY COMPUTER REPAIR

In the last two years, many schools and businesses purchased Gateway notebook computers.  Because Gateway is no longer in business, getting these computers repaired has become a critical problem due to the lack of repair parts.  To make matters worse, in many cases the owners of these computers must continue to rely upon them a little longer due to the lack of resources to replace them.      

If you are an individual user, you need to cut your losses and buy a new notebook.  However, if you’re one of those schools or businesses with hundreds or thousands of units, you need answers to questions such as “Where can I get parts?” or “Who can keep these Gateway computers running until funds are available for new units?”

There is a solution for those who are going to be “stuck” with their Gateway computers a little longer.  Premier Computer Services and a few other computer repair centers offer a service solution which allows Gateway users to get their computers repaired and back in service quickly.  By cannibalizing working units provided by the user (usually 10-15% of the total number of units owned), a quality service provider can “build” and maintain a spare parts pool which can be used to keep “active” units running. 

Since the user is supplying their own parts, repair costs are reduced.  And since the parts are “in-stock”, there is no waiting weeks and weeks for a repair to be done.  Repairs are often completed in 24-48 hours.  Best of all, no deposits or pre-payments are necessary – you only pay the per incident service charge when a repair is done.     

So if you have a bunch of Gateway computers, don’t jump off that cliff.  There is help available.

Premier would like to thank all of the Quad-City Area Chamber of Commerce members who participated in Premier’s e-waste recycle program during Earth Week.

With the help of many local small businesses and the Chamber, we were able to recycle almost 30,000 pounds of old computers and computer related items.

Did you know that each old CRT monitor contains up to four pounds of lead?  The CRT’s dropped off at Premier will now be properly recycled.  Computers too have many hazardous materials that can be reclaimed and reused by recycling.

We would like to thank the Moline School District for not only participating in our Earth Week program, but for sending a team of people to help unload all of the items. Moline School District delivered almost 10,000 pounds of obsolete items.

Overall it was a great experience and success. We would like to thank the following businesses (listed in no particular order) for making Earth Week a great week here in the QCA:

Hi everyone.

After months of prototyping, HTML coding, tweaking, optimization and integration, we’ve formally launched the much anticipated new Premier web site.

The new design was put in place to help communicate Premier’s new branding and color scheme, as well as to more accurately reflect that Premier is a modern, fast-moving computer service company – and also because our old design was due for an extreme makeover (just in case you were wondering where all the teal green went).

Here you will now find information on all of the services we can provide. Some may be familiar to you and others you may not have been aware we can provide. We hope that you will take a few minutes to browse through our range of services and see if anything would be helpful to you or your Company. If you see areas that interest you please do not hesitate to e-mail us or give us a call and we would be happy to provide additional information and answer any questions you might have.

If you have any feedback about our new website design we’d love to hear it. Please feel free to email us, and we hope you enjoy the new and improved premiercomputer.com web site.

The blog will be updated weekly with news and events covering everything from company information to new items and concepts that are coming to the technology market.

Whether it’s a notebook, netbook, desktop, server, software, Zune, or iPod, we know about it…and will be more than happy to share our opinion about it!
