Keep in mind that we also have a trade-in program for our customers to trade-in their obsolete equipment for a fair market value.

Repair Services

We repair all major categories and brands of IT products. These include:

• Desktop computers
• Laptop computers
• Mobile devices
• Printers
• Servers
• Scanners
• TVs
• Projectors

Keep in mind that the cost of fixing items may be more than buying a replacement sometimes.

If you have an item that would like us to fix, please give us a call. Our rates are very reasonable.

If you have routine repair work, a service contract may be a less expensive way to go. We offer yearly-renewable service contracts that are flexible and cover both labor and parts.

We are a Lenovo authorized service center.

IT Staffing Services

Need a temporary PC technician? Need a network administrator? Prime Systems offers quality onsite temporary staff with various skill levels to serve your needs:

• PC technicians
• Installation technicians and crew
• Network administrator
• System tech and engineers
• Network analysts
• Hardware designers and engineers
• Server specialists
• IT consultants

We offer this service nationwide.

Yes, we take trade-ins!

Having a hard time getting rid of the obsolete equipment? Trade-in may be your best solution.

The traditional auction process is tedious, labor-intensive, space-demanding, expensive, and does not generate enough returns to justify the process. School districts often need to spend labor baby-sitting the entire auction process. Since all the items are sold by pallets instead by individual items, the returns are often very low on a per item basis. Computer equipment like monitors could take up a lot of warehouse space while waiting for auctions to complete. The wait could be months and more. After the auction is complete, schools need to spend labor to help the public to load the products with folk lifts etc.

We offer a trade-in option to avoid such problems. We typically pay market value for your obsolete equipment. We move the equipment immediately to our warehouse and we do not charge for removing the equipment. We also save extra time and money for our clients by removing the hard drive contents for them, free of charge.

We encourage our clients to add such trade-in options to the RFP as part of the purchasing of new equipment. It’s also called “de-instillation.” Our warehouse is large enough to accept large quantities of obsolete equipment and process them including content removal/cleaning.

The actual trade-in value of a product depends on the product type and specifications. The trade-in process is also called asset disposal management. We can pick up, clean up, refurbish, re-market, redeploy, donate, or destroy old assets according to customer requirements. We also ensure all data are removed according to government specifications.

Upgrades

We provide cost-effective upgrade/replacement labor services for almost all brands of desktops and laptops, which can be done either at our facility or onsite:

• CPU
• Hard drives
• Motherboards
• Laptop batteries
• Video cards
• Peripherals (to cordless products)
• Network (add WiFi)
• Software
• Virus removal

We can conduct such upgrades on a large scale at multiple locations with short turn-around and minimum interference to school/client operations.

Warranty – Home of the Five-Year / Life-Time Warranty

All of our products come with at least one-year limited warranty. However, we offer cost-effective warranty options to cover the entire life-cycle of any product including desktop, laptop, printers, and servers. Most IT products have an expected life cycle of five years at school districts. We strongly encourage our clients to purchase our products with five-year warranty so that the entire life cycle is covered.

Our five-year warranty is amazingly cost-effective. Send us an email or give us a call for a quote. You’ll be surprised how low the cost for the extended warranty is. It’s an offer that is hard for any one to refuse.

Of course, the actual cost of the extended warranty depends on the quantity of the purchase, and types and values of the products. We offer low-cost extended warranty on desktops, laptops, printers, servers, projectors, and other products.

Our goal is a guaranteed lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).

There are two main business models for warranty services – onsite and depot. Onsite means that we’ll dispatch our field technicians to where the equipment is to fix the problems. Depot means that the client will have a central location to keep the defective products. We’ll retrieve these products either through timely picking up services or shipping through common carriers. The depot service is often used for clients who are geographically away from our office locations.

Keep in mind that we also offer warranty services for third-party products.
