Sphinx

I would leave six stars if I could. Sphinx went above and beyond to make sure that i was satisfied. Saad was extremely friendly and intelligent. I origionally went in to get my motherboard replaced, and that was done quickly and efficiently. However, when I tried to add more RAM, a lot of problems came up. I returned to ask for assistance in choosing the correct RAM, and after there was a problem reading that RAM, they offered to replace my motherboard again because it had caused me so many problems. Saad called to keep me updated on the status, and if they were encountering any additional problems and what they were doing to fix them. A computer repairman is like a mechanic; you really need to trust them. I believe the people at Sphinx know what theyre doing, and love what they do, and I will definitely be going back if I ever need computer maintenence.

There are a TON of computer repair shops these days. I think four of them are on a two-​mile stretch of Main St. in Lombard between Roosevelt and St. Charles. And they all stay afloat, likely because people are tired of buying brand-​new technology every time something goes awry, when they can simply have it fixed or updated and get another couple of years out of their device.
Or perhaps you’re like me, with a six-​month old laptop that could use a little more RAM. And perhaps you think that you can do it all yourself because someone on YouTube made it look easy.
And perhaps you’re a little too rough in trying to remove the battery from your laptop, and perhaps something that shouldn’t pop off… oops.
What to do, after you’ve facepalmed for ten minutes? You could contact the store of purchase, only to find out that they don’t sell new motherboards or even fix them. You could contact the computer manufacturer and learn that they want to charge over $ 300 to fix a laptop that only cost you $ 400. Or you could put your faith in the hands of Saad at Sphinx.
Saad had to go above and beyond the call to get this thing working again. When I desperately wanted my laptop to continue being portable, Saad and his associate worked on it long and hard. When they found that the laptop manufacturer wouldn’t even offer a schematic of the motherboard, they kept plugging away before finding a workaround, though I gave them a unique situation. The price I paid for their effort was far less than the alternative and a great value, considering the effort.
Saad has worked on other things for me. If it’s unfixable, he’ll tell me right away and not charge me for the info. It’s as if he wants to genuinely earn every dollar he makes, an ethos that few others in the business world share.
This is THE place to go for your computer needs. You can rely on them and trust them. I won’t go anywhere else, and neither should you.

I have had a relationship with Sphinx for at least 5 years and they have never failed to give me a great deal AND service on my purchases. Just recently i had problems restoring back to Windows 7 from the debacle of Windows 10 and they were able to guide me back to a restored system remotely. I couldn’t have asked for better service. Thanks guys. 5 stars all around!

These guys are very knowledgeable about computers and always seem to go the extra mile to make sure customers are satisfied with their products, parts and services.

Very honest guy. Seems to like what he does. Reccommended

I brought them a laptop for screen repair. I Incurred 2 major problems. They should have none better plus i actually told them that the resolution of the original screen is (SXGA), but they still replaced it with a (XGA).
Second problem, the original screen was matte black screen, they replaced it with a glossy one. Which is fairly worthless in sunlight.

My lappy’s battery refused to recharge, right before finals no less! In a panic, I dropped it off at Sphinx. The friendly gent behind the counter dropped everything, did a quick diagnostic test, pronounced my electric cable dead, and sold me a new one. Quick and inexpensive – just what I needed.
