What we fix
The problems that come through the door most often:
- ●The computer will not turn on, shuts off randomly, or shows a blue screen, a folder with a question mark, or a spinning wheel that never ends.
- ●It has become painfully slow, the fan runs constantly, or the disk is full and nobody knows why.
- ●Pop-ups, fake 'your computer is infected' warnings, a browser that redirects, or a scammer who was allowed to connect remotely.
- ●A hard drive crashed, a laptop was dropped, or a file was deleted and the photos, QuickBooks file, or client documents were not backed up.
- ●A cracked screen, a dead keyboard, a battery that lasts twenty minutes, a broken charging port, or a liquid spill.
- ●A new machine needs everything moved over from the old one, or Windows or macOS needs a clean reinstall.
Repair services
✓Diagnostics
We test power, storage, memory, thermal condition, and software before recommending anything, and we tell you the cause and the options, including 'replace it,' when that is the right answer.
✓Mac and PC hardware repair
Laptop screens, keyboards, trackpads, batteries, charging ports, fans, and power supplies; desktop drives, memory, power supplies, and boards. MacBooks, iMacs, and every major Windows brand.
✓Virus, malware, and scam cleanup
Removal of malware, adware, and browser hijackers; reversal of the changes remote-access scammers make; and a security check of your accounts and passwords afterward so it does not come straight back.
✓Data recovery
Recovery from failing or failed hard drives and SSDs, deleted files, corrupted systems, and drives from machines that no longer boot. When a drive needs a clean-room lab, we tell you before you spend anything.
✓SSD and memory upgrades
Replacing a spinning hard drive with an SSD is the single most effective fix for a slow but otherwise healthy computer. We clone your existing system to the new drive so everything is where you left it.
✓Operating-system reinstallation and cleanup
Clean installs of Windows or macOS, driver and update installation, removal of bloatware, and startup and performance tuning with your files and programs preserved.
✓Data transfer and new-computer setup
Migration of files, email, browsers, and settings to a new machine, printer and Wi-Fi setup, and secure wiping of the old drive before it is recycled or resold.
✓Business fleet repair
For offices, we repair or replace workstations with minimal downtime, keep spare machines imaged when it makes sense, and fold ongoing maintenance into a managed IT plan if you want problems caught before they become drop-offs.

How it works
Drop-off, phone, or on-site for businesses, the steps are the same.
- 1
Bring it in or call
Drop the machine at 24 Samoset St, Plymouth, MA 02360, Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Bring the charger. If you are not sure it is worth the trip, call first and describe the symptoms.
- 2
Diagnosis
We test the machine, identify the cause, and note anything else we see (a drive that is about to fail, a backup that has not run in a year).
- 3
Clear quote, your approval
You get the repair options with a price for each and our honest recommendation, including when a repair costs more than the machine is worth. Nothing happens until you say yes.
- 4
Repair
Parts are ordered if needed, the work is done, and the machine is tested again before pickup. We call or text when it is ready.
- 5
Pickup and follow-up
We walk you through what was done and how to avoid a repeat, and we are a phone call away if anything is not right afterward.
Why a local Plymouth repair shop
Power Up Boston has been based at 24 Samoset St in Plymouth, MA since 2009. In 17+ years we have worked with 1,622+ businesses across 68 communities on the South Shore, Cape Cod, and Greater Boston, and we hold a 4.9/5 rating from 112 Google reviews (as of June 2026). Call (508) 617-1310 and a person picks up.
You can talk to the technician who is working on your machine, in person, at a real shop in downtown Plymouth. There is no mail-in, no call center, and no upsell script. Residents from Plymouth, Kingston, Carver, Duxbury, and Plympton drop off here; businesses across the South Shore have us come to them.
Because we also manage networks and security for local companies, we see the whole picture: if a virus cleanup reveals that your email account was compromised too, we fix that, not just the laptop.
How repair pricing works
Diagnosis comes first so the quote is based on what is actually wrong. Labor is quoted per repair, parts are itemized, and you approve the total before work starts. If a machine is not worth repairing, we say so and can help you choose and set up a replacement instead. We would rather you come back for the next problem than pay for a repair you should not have done.
Before you drop off
- ●Bring the power adapter and, for laptops, any external drive you use for backups.
- ●Write down the login password or be ready to enter it; we need to sign in to test.
- ●If the problem is data-related, stop using the machine. Every write reduces what can be recovered.
- ●For scams, change your email and banking passwords from a different device right away, then bring the computer in.

Frequently asked questions
?Where do I drop off my computer in Plymouth?
24 Samoset St, Plymouth, MA 02360, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Call (508) 617-1310 if you would like to check we are free before you head over.
?How long does a repair take?
Most drop-offs are diagnosed the same day. Software cleanups, upgrades, and reinstalls are usually turned around in a day or two; hardware repairs depend on parts availability, and we tell you the expected time with the quote.
?Do you repair Macs?
Yes. MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini, including screens, batteries, storage, and macOS issues, alongside every major Windows brand.
?Can you recover data from a crashed hard drive?
In many cases, yes. We recover from failing drives, deleted files, and unbootable systems in our shop. If a drive has physically failed and needs a clean-room lab, we tell you up front so you can decide before any cost is incurred.
?Is it worth fixing an older computer?
Often an SSD and memory upgrade makes a five-year-old machine feel new for far less than a replacement. If the repair would cost more than the computer is worth, we tell you and help you pick a replacement and move your data.
?Do you come to businesses?
Yes. For offices on the South Shore we repair on site or swap in a replacement so staff keep working, and we offer managed IT plans that catch most of these problems before they become emergencies.
?Someone called claiming to be Microsoft and connected to my computer. What now?
Disconnect it from the internet, change your email and bank passwords from another device, and bring it in. We remove the remote-access tools and any malware they left, check what was changed, and make sure your accounts are locked down.
