Data recovery cannot be guaranteed before the affected device, storage media and available backups have been assessed. If important files have disappeared or a storage device is failing, avoid writing new data to it because continued use can reduce the chance of recovery. ## Onsite Support in the Northern Rivers Onsite computer repairs and IT support are available across the Northern Rivers, including: - Ballina - Lismore - Byron Bay - Lennox Head - Alstonville - Wollongbar - Goonellabah - Bangalow - Suffolk Park - Casino - Kyogle - Nimbin - Wardell - Cumbalum - Skennars Head - Newrybar - Brooklet - Surrounding Northern Rivers communities Onsite service is normally appropriate when the issue involves physical equipment, cabling, Wi-Fi, printers, a computer that cannot be accessed remotely or several connected devices that need to be assessed together.

Hardware failures, local cabling problems and some startup, storage or network faults require hands-on assessment. Gooroo will advise whether remote support is appropriate after reviewing the symptoms. See [Remote Support](https://www.gooroo.com.au/remote-support/). ## How Support Works 1. **Contact Gooroo.** Describe the problem, affected devices and whether important work or data is at risk. 2. **Initial assessment.** Gooroo determines whether remote support, onsite service or another approach is most suitable. 3. **Diagnosis.** The likely cause, important risks and practical options are investigated. 4. **Repair or recommendation.** Suitable work is completed, or replacement, referral or another next step is recommended. 5. **Prevention and follow-up.** Where relevant, Gooroo explains backup, maintenance, security or replacement considerations. Appointment availability varies. Call or book online to confirm the earliest suitable time rather than assuming same-day service. ## Why Customers Choose Gooroo - More than 25 years of IT support experience - More than 18,000 completed service calls tracked in Gooroo's service system - Onsite service across the Northern Rivers - Remote support available Australia-wide - Support for both home users and small businesses - Plain-English explanations and practical recommendations - Assistance across computers, email, networks, cloud services, backups and connected devices > Highly Recommend!
