We’re at 1200 NW South Outer Road, Suite 100, directly off I-70 in Blue Springs — take I-70 east from Independence and exit at MO-7. Most of Independence reaches us in 10 to 15 minutes. Parking is directly in front of the building. We work by appointment Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, so book your drop-off before you leave and your machine goes straight to the bench.
A dead desktop, and an honest answer. An Independence customer went to bed with a working PC and woke up to a dead one. On the bench, the cause was the graphics card: an aging GTX 970 that made the system power-cycle every few seconds. A known-good card booted straight into BIOS. Because the machine was built on a fourth-generation Intel i5, we told him plainly that putting real money into it didn’t make sense. He brought in a second, non-working PC instead, and we got that one running with a working low-profile graphics card, a CMOS reset, Windows 11 updates, and fresh drivers.
What else Independence has brought us lately:

Phoenix from KC Computer Staff was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job diagnosing the issue our son was having with his PS5 and our internet. Apparently, the ATT tech failed to notice that his PS5 was set on a different hertz from the rest of our house. Which was causing him to have very low speeds with his gaming. A previous ATT tech had set up an alternate hertz (2.4) instead of (5) for our internet for whatever reason. Not being tech-savy, we were unaware of this. Having just moved in January, we went from Google Fiber to ATT Fiber. Not particularly happy with this. But as soon as we get Google Fiber for our neighborhood, we will be switching back. As I said, Phoenix did a great job explaining what the issue was and how he found it. KC Computer Staff is an excellent computer and gaming system repair store.Posted on Google![]()

Got water damage on my MacBook Pro guys did a great job of assembling it and telling me exactly what happened and what was wrong with it and replace the logic board at a competitive price ran into a hiccup with the delivery date due to a faulty board being shipped to them, but they were great and if I have any other problems, I’ll be reaching out to themPosted on Google![]()

I had lost the audio on my laptop, so I took it to KC Computer to diagnose and fix the problem. They discovered that my audio drivers were missing. They repaired the problem and replaced my hard drive which was showing signs of wear. I got my laptop back in two days and it has worked great since. The guys at the shop were courteous and informed. I was very happy with the service I received and would use them again in the future.Posted on Google![]()

I was having issues with my laptop blackscreening on me. Called into KC Computer Tuesday afternoon and by Wednesday afternoon they had diagnosed the issue (overheating) and fixed the issue (cleaned out and reapplied thermal paste). I appreciated the speed of what they did and I felt ok with what they charged for my situation.Posted on Google![]()
