PC repair in Valbonne & Sophia-Antipolis
PC that won't start, blue screen, sluggishness, cracked screen, overheating: for Valbonne and Sophia-Antipolis, I step in at your home, at your remote-working desk, or remotely for software issues. Workshop in Cannes 15 minutes away. €50 diagnosis deducted from the repair, firm quote before any work.
Sophia-Antipolis is home to a clientele that is very well equipped and very reliant on its hardware: engineers, freelancers, remote workers, startups. When a machine breaks down, it often means a whole day's work is blocked. So I put speed first: immediate remote assistance for software faults, a call-out or collection for hardware.
The faults I deal with most in the area: a laptop that no longer charges (power connector), a desktop PC that crashes (power supply, RAM, drive), sluggishness after a few years, overheating on heavily used machines (compiling, virtualisation, editing), and a dead screen or keyboard. I diagnose precisely before replacing anything.
My engineering background lets me speak the same language as many of my Sophia clients — and switch to English with international residents. €50 diagnosis deducted from the repair, firm quote, repair paid only if it's solved, 3-month guarantee. A flat €20 call-out charge on top.

Frequently asked questions
My remote-working setup is down, do you step in quickly in Sophia?expand_more
Yes — it's a priority. For software faults, remote assistance often fixes things within the hour, with no call-out. For hardware, I come to your home or collect the machine to limit downtime. In an emergency, prefer the phone (06 16 36 12 30).
My PC heats up and restarts when I compile or run VMs, why?expand_more
A classic on heavily used workstations: clogged fans, dried-out thermal paste, or an underpowered power supply. Diagnosis, dust removal, paste change, and a check of the power supply. The machine regains its stability under load.
Do you offer support in English?expand_more
Yes — I regularly work with the international residents of Sophia and Valbonne, in English if needed. Same diagnosis, same guarantee.
Is the call-out to Valbonne/Sophia charged?expand_more
Yes, a flat €20 call-out charge is added to the job, whichever town you are in. Remote assistance (for software issues) and drop-off at the workshop in Cannes avoid it.
Do you work with the startups and freelancers of the technology park?expand_more
Yes: maintenance, backups, workstation setup, security. Maintenance contracts and the Forfait Zen (€99/year) tailored to avoid any interruption to your activity.
