Upsellers. Asked for a simple friendly opening of my MacBook to remove dust, and they would not do it. I guess a business is a business.

BYOD very professional, good expertise, and people skills. I brought in my seagate 2 tb hdd when it was chirping and generally unresponsive and they walked my through what the possible problems and outcomes could be. In the end they were able to recover my most important files without damaging the data for further more extensive (and expensive!!) recovery efforts

All my family photos were saved by BYOD from my failed hard drive from 10 years ago. I have been saving years of photos and I finally had a chance to do some archiving work when my hard drive died. I went to three different places in West LA and nobody could do it, or at least do it for a reasonable price... One place wanted to charge me $1500. Anyway I just kept on looking around and while I have to drive all the way closer to downtown LA is was worth the trip. They were so accommodating and they gave me a good deal. It still was not cheap by any stretch of imagination but it was enough for me to make a whole sense of it all. I gave the go signal, and after a week they called in to tell me that all my archives were recovered. I am so thankful to these guys at BYOD and they truly deserve all the accolades that they got! Heres another one for the books! Many thanks and I appreciate the great service!

I thought I lost all my music, thousands of songs! But he saved it all, rescued it and was able to take it off the broken hard drive and put it on to a new hard drive. I’m so grateful, thank you very much.

The moment you step in their office the service is personalized and the tech guy is listening to your problem. They fixed my Porsche design hard drive which Ive had since college and got all my old pictures and important files. Truly amazing service albeit a little bit pricier than I thought it would be. But I really dont mind paying extra as long as you can feel that you are being taken care of... Thanks BYOD for the great service!

BYOD did a great job to save and recover my data from my Lacie hard drive! I was almost giving up when I brought it to another place and they told me that nothing could be done. I kept on searching until i found byod. Thank you guys for not giving up on this hard drive! The long wait is worth it!

The first thing that I learned after moving to a new town is to know where all the good local shops are... Good car mechanic, dry cleaners, locksmith, and lastly a good computer guy. I found mine in BYOD. Super responsive to emails and messages, very professional and clean. Not to mention that the service is top notch. I feel a little bit safer in this town after moving from NYC after I find local and small businesses like these. Thanks BYOD for fixing my mac and for not gouging an out of towner like me ! Will definitely be back!

My entire portfolio of photos was stored in my old hard drive from way back when I was majoring in Photography at USC. For some reason it just stopped working one day and clearly I was panicking. There were some beeping sounds when I start to plug it in my computer. I was having an anxiety attack and I started searching for a place that could fix this issue. I probably spent close to three hours until I finally settled for BYOD. After I brought it to them, they gave me some feedback after the following day. I was so happy, when they told me that the photos can be recovered. It took another two days and I didnt mind the cost because those were really important files! These guys are absolutely the best! I give myself some credit for doing my extensive research to find them though! lol! But thanks BYOD for getting my files back !

These guys were great! I loved my laptop and did not want to replace it. They saved all my data, cleaned my drive, replaced the motherboard, provided additional protection and were lovely to work with. I will definitely come to NEXT IT if I ever have any problems. They were timely and courteous. Excellent customer service, especially for the tech challenged. Thanks guys for your diligence and great service.

These guys at BYOD did an unbelievable job in recovering and fixing my hard drive. My Lacie hard drive which i loved because of the cool orange bumper design went bonkers over the holidays and all my pictures from all of my travels were saved there. I just could not let go of them as they were very memorable for me and my family. I looked around and waited until the holiday rush passed and found BYOD which was reasonable close to my house in Larchmont. I talked to the tech person and they walked me through the whole process which included the time and price quote. It took quite a while to be honest but I guess the wait was worth it. They recovered everything and transferred all the photos and videos to a new hard drive. Thank you so much guys! These pictures are worth saving.!

I was in great shock when I plugged in my G-Drive external drive and I could not access it from my macbook air! All my outsourced work was saved in that drive because my mac has very limited storage capacity. I was about to have a panic attack! I searched thoroughly for a place that could do the job and found BYOD! They were great! Explained the whole process and why it would take time and why it cost the way it would cost. I did not mind the cost because i literally have my entire lifes work in that drive. Thank you BYOD ! Highly Recommended for sure!

No BS transaction. They just straight up give you a quote which is very transparent and no hard selling of any sort. The service is very efficient which makes up for their rather difficult parking situation. I had my Acer laptop fixed here and I could not be happier. They took care of it and their price was relatively fair. I would rather pay a little extra for some level of peace of mind that you are not getting scammed. Highly recommended!

Noel from BYOD was quick to message me back through Yelp messenger and I visited him same day! I stopped by his office with my external hard drive issue and Noel was very clear and prompt about what steps/services we could take to help recover a formatted external hard drive. Noel did a diagnostic test to see what could be recovered, he kept me informed with phone calls and updated me on what steps he was doing to get some read on my hard drive . I was able to come to his office once he got some saved files and he gave me the decision of viewing the saved files and letting me choose if I wish to proceed with full recovery . Noel is a very smart and a wonderful owner , he answered all my questions, explained clearly and gave me peace of mind of what options I had on recovering my hard drive. Hes someone I would highly recommend to others for any of your device issues and I most definitely would come back to Noel and his amazing services . Thank you

In the age where customer service is now taken for granted, this place stands out by providing super personalized and thoughtful service. Email and text updates regarding your Mac problems is provided during the time that your machine is getting fixed. Nobody does this type of work anymore. That is why this is the only place that my office brings our Macs and PCs to get serviced. Awesome work guys!

Very good customer service! They are very knowledgeable and give you several options so you can make an informed decision. I ended up not proceeding with my laptop repair because it was not going to be practical based on their advice but they managed to get all of my data off of the mac that just died on me. I highly recommend them! Thank you BYOD!

I dont mind driving all the way from Culver City to this place that I found a few years ago and never had a chance to commend them for their professional and super friendly customer service! They fixed my sons laptop a few years back and when I had a problem with my hard drive last month they were able to recover all of my renderings for my project. Total lifesaver! Thanks BYOD!

My girlfriend got mad at me so badly that she threw my macbook pro from the 6th floor of my apartment building. I just glad that it didnt land on somebodys car or worse somebodys head! Now the bad part is that it looked like this! I was going to buy a new mac but the problem was that all of my photos and USC grad papers were on that machine. Luckily, I found a miracle worker in BYOD! Even in this bad condition, they were able to do a data recovery process and save all of my important documents! Im so glad I found BYOD and they had very student friendly prices as well! Thank you so much for saving my life and I will recommend you to all my classmates at USC !

Noel is an absolute genius magician when it comes to fixing devices and recovering data. My husband and I have brought multiple phones and laptops to him with various issues and he has not disappointed us once. Furthermore, he’s an incredibly trustworthy person who operates his business with serious integrity- we first discovered BYOD after we’d been turned away by apple’s Genius Bar because they couldn’t replace a laptop battery they didn’t have in stock- had it been in stock the service alone would have cost us 180$. We then found Noel, who charged us 20$, the price of the battery, and nothing else because he said the task/labour was literally as simple as changing the battery in a flashlight. Noel is so brilliant we don’t feel the need to purchase insurance for our phones because BYOD is more reliable and affordable than any insurance plan. Genuinely I have brought multiple cases to Noel that others have deemed hopeless and he always figures out a way.. We don’t even live in LA anymore but I still won’t bring my broken devices anywhere else, and have been saving something to bring to Noel for our next visit! Because yeah I just can’t conceive how I could ever put my devices in better, fairer hands.

We have at least 50 computers in our accounting firm and BYOD has been our go-to guys for fast and speedy computer service. You feel important when they are talking to you and you know that you are getting their full attention. They do back it up with awesome and fast service! Love that they are right in the middle of Ktown so we dont have to go too far!

Our company had a DROBO hard drive and one day our in house IT guy could not get it work. My boss was livid so as his assistant I had to take the brunt of his anger. I searched around and luckily found BYOD which was a block away from our Equitable building. They were super responsive and they expedited the process of recovering our company data which was a back up from 5 years ago. Boss is happy and IT guy saved his job. Thanks BYOD for the awesome and speedy service! Highly recommended!

Very efficient service from this place! They fixed my iPhone X and recovered all my photos even if I dropped it in the pool during a crazy night out with friends. I thought that my phone would be fried but they fixed it so that I can at least get my photos from it. Luckily I also had insurance so I just sent it back so I got a new phone as a replacement. Those were two years worth of pictures that I never backed up. Lesson learned, move on! But thanks BYOD for teaching me a valuable lesson without the consequences!

I used to bring my work computers to another shop in Vermont but they seem to have waned in terms of their usual customer service. I went there three times last week and they were always closed and open at 11am. So I searched for a new go-to place and found BYOD. They were actually just a block away from my office and it proved to be super convenient! They also gave a great service although the prices were just slightly higher but I didnt mind because the service and professionalism was exceptional! Their tech guy fixed two of our computers and now its blazing fast! Highly recommend these guys at BYOD!

If you want to get a no frills no hassle service for your computer then this is the place to go. They provide the most friendly and attentive service that I have know in Los Angeles. My gaming computer had some issues with the solid state drive and they helped me fix it or get the pictures from it that i really wanted. I went to several places in glendale and silverlake but they could not do it. I had to go all the way to koreatown to find these guys but it was truly worth the drive. they recovered everything and gave me a new hard drive and set me up pretty neatly. awesome work guys!

Had 12 years worth of pictures on a Lacie hard drive go south on me last week. They were old family pictures that I archived for a long begone scrapbook project that never materialized. I scrambled to search for a place that would help me figure out how to get all my photos back. I google around and found a hidden gem in BYOD. They explained how the pricing works and what the data recovery process would be. I have to say that it was not what I expected. It was more complicated than I would have imagined. But all in all, everything was transparent and i was happy with their service. Thank you for saving me from this stressful experience. You guys rock!

My iPhone started acting up and I brought it to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and they just told me to buy a new phone, arghh! I had no choice but the problem was I hadnt backed up my photos for the past two years!! So they recommend this place called BYOD! I gave it a shot and wondered what this place could do that Apple couldnt! After talking to the BYOD tech person, I decided to give it a go! The cost was a little bit high but there would be not payment upfront. After a few days, they called me and said that all my photos had been recovered! How is that possible?!? I didnt dare ask and just paid them outright as long as I got what I needed! I guess they had figured out something that Apple couldnt and they are more than within their right to charge the amount that they feel is reasonable for their efforts! All in all, I got what I wanted and needed and they got the job done! Thanks for the great effort !!

I rarely leave comments, but I felt compelled to give high marks to Noel. My hard drive had crashed and I was freaking out a little bit over losing a few files that I never backed up (yes, yes I know, I should have known better). I called around and inquired about data retrieval, but the prices of these places were astronomical, and the confidence in their ability to help seemed vague and a bit sketchy, respectively. I took a chance after speaking with Noel over the phone, and brought my computer in to BYOD to see what he could do. There were no shady deals, no payment upfront to see if MAYBE the data could be recovered. He does it on a tier system, and the explained prices of each tier were perfectly reasonable, or at the very least they made sense given the various workloads. I specifically appreciated that had he not been able to cultivate my seemingly lost data, there would have been no charge. He was just a straightforward, honest guy. He was communicative throughout the process (only a few days), and in the end recovered all of my data. On a personal level, he’s an intelligent/friendly guy that made me feel like I was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone having issues similar to mine.

Amazing service! My macbook pro was completely soaked in diet coke and I had already purchased a new one but I badly needed all my files for a test that I was going to take in a few weeks. I was panicking because all my notes were in that mac. After searching frantically for somebody to help me I finally found these guys at Byod and they helped we out bigly! Could not thank you more for the great and super speedy service ! Now I have to study and hopefully pass that test!

I like to support local businesses like BYOD because they provide a more personalized experience compared to the big stores. I had my Lenovo machine fixed and the service here is really something to rave about. They give you updates about your computer and explain the process in detail so you dont think you are getting ripped off. I really dont mind paying extra to get an extra special service.

They were highly recommended by my sister in law who had their office computers fixed here. So i gave it a try as i am not a tech savvy person. The tech guy was very courteous and was generous with their time in explaining trivial questions regarding computers. They eventually fixed my old iMac for an decent price.

The attention to detail is quite awesome in this place. They explain everything and there is a no b.s. attitude as far as answering tech related questions. They totally fixed my hard drive problems and Im glad I drove all the way to LA from La Cresenta to get it done. I did a lot of research and different places gave me different answers and quotes. After piecing together all my researched items, BYOD gave the most reassuring and affordable quote. So I went with them and boy was I glad I did. Thank you for getting all those photos from middle school to high school to my USC days! Those were indeed priceless!

My two year old boy has been fixated with my iphone for the past few months now. Unfortunately i left it with him one day and he tried to put in my password too many times and the phone now says it is disabled. As I am completely paranoid with any type of saving information into the cloud, i did not have a back up of my photos on my phone. So I went to the apple store and they recommended me to BYOD. It is surprising that a small outfit like them can help me but not apple. They recovered all my photos and help me finally setup my icloud account so this never happens to me again. They did charge quite an amount, but those baby pics are just priceless to me so I did not hesitate. Thank you BYOD! Apple was right in recommending you to me, that I can give them!

Repeat customer here. Been coming here for years but this time around I had a serious situation! Water bottle cracked open in my backpack and totally fried my Mac. Its a six year old Mac so it was time to let go. But I had to extract all my files off of it and BYOD once again came to save the day! All of my data, pictures, videos, and important pdf files were recovered. What is amazing is that it was done within 2 days. What a treat! I highly recommend this place ! Fantastic!

Perfect combination of great service and affordable prices. I searched for three days online to find best place to fix my hard drive and get my high school photos and I came to the conclusion that I will try BYOD data recovery service. They did the job in such a short time and way cheaper than two other places .. One of them even quoted me almost double than what BYOD charged. It really pays to do some Googling and Yelping. Im so glad I found them ! I will recommend them to all my classmates at USC! Thanks BYOD!

Went in with my Dell Vostro 3560 because it wont start. Noel told me it could be the power Jack or the motherboard but he wouldnt charge me if replacing the power Jack didnt work. Well it turned out that the motherboard was fried, too but that I didnt get my laptop up and running since it would be better to get a new one than spend money on this. But what I liked was Noel didnt charge me a single cent for the effort that he put in. All other shops charge a diagnostic fee whether they can fix your system or not! I would go again if needed.

Very convenient to where I live in K town! They are really generous with their time in trying to explain your problem and how it can be prevented. I had a hard drive with all my school stuff and I wasnt able to access it from my mac and they diagnosed for free for me. The way to recover my data took longer than I thought but it was well worth the wait. According to them i had a severe problem so I figured it was not gonna take as fast as I thought. I was ignorant about all the tech stuff about hard drives but they were patient to explain the problem to me. All in all, I was very satisfied with BYODs service and I feel really taken care of and secured after talking to them. Thank you so much!

My 12 year old Seagate hard drive went lights out last year and I didnt know that those can be fixed until my cousin told me that there is a place that fixes them. I decided to visit them and they managed to recover and transfer all of my files to another seagate drive that I got from staples. I was soooo happy. I had pictures from high school and I had a blast looking at them and reminiscing all those fun memories. Noel from BYOD was really great during the whole process from start to finish.

I accidentally left my iPhone 5s on top of my car and drove off with it. After a few blocks, I realized what just happened and drove back to the gas station where it happened. Luckily, I managed to find the phone in the sidewalk but with the glass completely shattered. So I thought of getting a new phone. My sister then told me about this place where she got her iPhone fixed on the cheap. So I called them up and got an appointment and they managed to replace the shattered glass for under a hundred bucks. I was thinking of spending another 500-600 for a new phone but this place saved me a fortune.Theyre in a small office space in Korea Town so they go by word of mouth. I hope that someday they get a bigger office because with the service that they provide they can surely help more people with their phone problems if they are more visible to the public. On the other hand, maybe thats why they can charge a reasonable price because they dont have to pay for a huge rent. Either way Im glad I found them and hopefully I wont have to go back to them to get my phone fixed, but if I did, Ill definetly pay them a visit once more. Thanks guys!

It was two blocks from where I lived. I didnt know they existed even. Anyway I scheduled an appointment and within a day they were able to recover those precious pics from her wedding. She would absolutely be livid had I lost those pics. Thank God they were recovered, or else!?#@$ . Thank you BYOD!

HI was recently in a bind when my 2017 macbook pro all of sudden crashed. I went to the apple store and they checked it for several hours and they just told me to buy a new one. this mac was barely 2 years old. anyway, the sad part was that i had no back up of my recent files and apparently this newer macs do not even have a detachable hard drive. so they told me to find a data recovery company to get my information off the mac. the genius bar people recommended BYOD since they had the best reviews. the fee was reasonable and i didnt mind paying since they could do what apple couldnt and that says something about their business. maybe that is their specialty. anyway they recovered all my files in time for my phd dissertation at USC and i was so elated that they completed the job in a very short time frame. kudos to the tech guys at BYOD! you saved my files and my life!

I accidentally uplugged my Western Digital My Passport from my surface pro laptop while I was transferring files into it. Now I know that its actually not a good thing to do that. After a few days, whenever I plug it back in, the hard drive will not show up and will say something like I need to format it again. I searched around for someone to help me to fix my drive or to recover my documents and I found BYOD from Google. They gave me a reasonable quote compared to a few ones that Ive called around and so I went with them. And I am glad I did. Not only did they recover all my music projects ( Im a sound engineer ), but also all my photos and videos from high school. So happy that I went with BYOD. They are very professional! Thanks guys!

Dropped off my macbook with a broken retina screen and in an hour, i got it back just like new. Prices were very reasonable. What is amazing really is the turnaround time. Apple store said it would take 3-4 business days to get it replaced but BYOD did it in a very short period of time.

Had a great experience here when I brought my iMac for repair! Noel was very accomodating and did the job in a timely manner and also had the best prices that I could find. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get their computers fixed! Thanks for your honesty and your reasonable price!

We had a school project that was due in two weeks and i had a lot of autocad and in design files in my hard drive when it suddenly stop working in the middle of my work. aargh! i frantically searched for a computer place near USC and i found these guys. They helped me out and recovered all my files in a matter of days. i still had 5 days to finish the project though. i gladly paid them what they asked for and also paid for an expedited fee. i dont mind at all as i would have had to do redo those projects if they didnt do the job. thank God they did. thanks guys.

I joined G+ just so I could write a review for these guys. Cameron and Tyler are polite, honest, upfront and very good at what they do.

I took my wifes hard drive to ByoD since had some issues with connecting to our iMac at home. It turns out that the drive has gone bad. The tech guy at ByoD gave a thorough explanation of our options but we initially decided that it was not worth the price. Two months later we found out that we did have some valuable photos of our two kids so we decided to do it anyway. It was totally worth the cost although it was more than what I budgeted for. All our kids photos from their early childhood days were fully restored thanks to ByoD! We are totally satisfied with their service and will recommend them to our friends here in Silverlake! Thanks.!

I recently broke my Mac Book pro lcd screen and knew the price was going to be expensive. After shopping around, BYOD had the best price. When the piece for my Mac arrived it was fixed within th next day. Not only is the service fast but he is very trustworthy. Hopefully I dont brake anything else, but if I do Im going here.

Forget about the long line in apple store. Save your money and precious time with BYOD computer services. I was about to put my old iphone in the trash bin and swipe my card for a new phone. But thanks to Noel, he did a miraculous job at cost of a venti coffee. So I came back for my ipad screen replacement, then I told my friends... I think I will keep telling everyone how great the service was.

The rain storm last week proved disastrous for me as there were several power surges in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, my hard drive was connected to my iMac and when the power went off so did my hard drive. As the power went back, I could no longer access my files from 3 years of grad school paperworks. Searched online for a way to save my files and was lucky enough to find BYOD. They were upfront with the cost ( which was the most affordable i could find ) and had a very quick turnaround. Truly saved the day for a struggling USC student! Thank you and would definitely recommend you to my fellow Trojans!

I just got a new macbook air last Christmas and my Yorkie jumped at it and spilled some coffee on the keyboard a week later. So I went to the Apple store and the snotty Tech guys there told me that they will not cover liquid damage. They woudnt even bother to look at it and said that all my files will be deleted if I decided to trade it in for a new one. I really didnt mind about the money buy all my files are important. Stupidly enough, I did not have any back up.Two weeks later I go to my accountant to get my taxes done and told her that all my scanned receipts are in my laptop and its all gone. Luckily, she recommended me to this place where they do some data recovery services. At first, I was kinda hesitant because it was a small office and not your typical computer shop with all the bells and whistles. But my accountant said that she had been using this tech guy for years and she swears by them. If you cannot trust your accountant, who can you trust? So I listened to her and lo and behold, one or maybe two days after I brought it in, Mr. Trusted Tech Guy called me and said that he recovered all of my files and save it all on a new hard drive. Now if I listened to the established Apple store employee / genius bar tech person where would I be now? I wonder how many people they have given the same spiel? Not knowing that it is actually possible to get back all your data for a very decent price ( which of course is not that important if your life depends on it ). Thank god for this place! That is why I am compelled to write about it to let other people know about my experience. To Mr. Trusted Tech Guy at BYOD Computer Services, thank you and may your tribe increase !!!

My macbook pro suddenly had a blinking folder image when i started it up and i was so worried because the finals is just two weeks away. i have all my study material in my laptop and this is my last semester in USC. I really need those documents sooooo badly. Lo and behold i found BYOD Computers in Yelp and they already had more 100+ five stars for data recovery and computer fixes so i decided to give them a go. It was really such a pleasant transaction. no hassle, no bs. They diagnosed the problem and gave an accurate description of the problem and how much and how long it would take. I was really more concerned with the how long but they also gave a very good price for a quick turnaround. I highly recommend BYOD for their data recovery skills and mostly for their super great customer service !! Thank you guys you saved my semester!

Got an ipad mini from my boyfriend last christmas and i really loved it. Binged on netflix movies every night since I got it. Sadly, I dropped it two nights ago as i fell asleep while watching. I searched for a place to fix the shattered glass and found BYOD. Service was fast and price was reasonable. No hassle transaction and the owner was very pleasant and friendly. Go here if you need your apple stuff fixed!
