My name is Steven W. Nickerson, Sr. I am a born-again Christian, family man, and patriot/veteran. I have been happily married to my wife, Sherrie, for 40 years, and together, we have raised nine beautiful children. With over 25 years of experience in the computer information technology field, my expertise is extensive. I served in the Air Force, stationed at the Pentagon for 3.5 years, at the NSA for another 3.5 years, and at Offutt Air Force Base for 2 years for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Computer repair, services, and operations became my forte during my time in the Air Force. I have avidly repaired and maintained computers since then. Bringing my first computer home in 1983 marked the beginning of a beloved hobby. I have also worked as an IT technician at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and eBay. Upon leaving the Air Force in 1992 and after several odd jobs, I continued to immerse myself in the world of computers. It was then recommended that I start my own business offering repair services to homeowners. Spotting a need in the market, I knew I could fulfill it both professionally and with a personal touch.
For fast, reliable diagnosis of your computer or device issues, we are your BEST CHOICE if you want your computer or device to run OPTIMALLY! We give a prompt diagnosis and complete most software and hardware repairs within 5-8 business days. Faster return times are available upon request for a fee.
We offer full-service repair for your laptop computer. This includes repairs such as screen replacement, DC jack repair, and top/bottom case replacement. Most laptop hardware repairs are completed in 5-8 business days. We also will address any secondary software configurations that might be making your machine run less than optimally.
Adware and Spyware are not just a nuisance, but can also put your computer and personal data at risk. When we clean an infection from your machine, we remove infected items from your registry, clear temporary files, use several industry-leading programs to eliminate hidden viruses, reset broken internet links/browsers, and much more to ensure the security and safety of your machine. We follow a thorough quality checklist to ensure your machine is 100% infection-free when we return it to you. Our turn-around time for this service is just 1-3 business days.
If you need more memory to enhance computer speed, a faster video card to play a new game that has been released, or if you’d like a solid-state hard drive to make your computer or device more speedy and powerful, we have your upgrade. We carry many basic upgrades in stock; however, if you would like a more custom upgrade such as a water-cooler, we can order any custom hardware that’s needed the day we talk to you, then typically, within 2-3 days, we will receive the components and begin working on your upgrade.
Over time, computers start to run slower for many reasons. Sometimes it is as simple as extra programs running in the background that are not visible on the screen. These programs have been installed, (covertly piggy-backed on legitimate programs), to set their default settings to start with your computer to make programs open quicker when you click on them. They might also sync with an email account or update an app or program behind the scenes, slowing your computer down.
Data is important. Your data might contain precious memories or hours of hard work, but either one is irreplaceable. Our goal is to help you set up a back-up solution that will ensure that you never have to worry about needing data recovery. We will equip you to protect your data, or in the event that you have lost data due to power outage, hardware failure, or just because you accidentally deleted a file, we will do everything in our power to restore your data. Moreover, we will do what we can to prevent loss of data in the first place. Repair time for data recovery varies. Please call to discuss time frame for your specific situation.
We accept various home and office, computer or electronics-related hardware for recycle. We take printers and computer peripherals, computers, monitors, tube TV's and CRT monitors, cords, phones, and much more! All recycling is free, and often, we will use what you give us to refurbish computers to help service our single parents program. TV's and CRT's are accepted during normal business hours. If you are not sure what is recyclable, please call 402-953-0001.
Committed to giving a time estimate right when the device is checked in.
Ensure repairs are completed by trained professionals with documented procedures.
Free diagnostics — know exactly what you need before you commit.
I am offering free computer repair to single parents in need. If you know a worthy individual, please share their contact details and their story to explain why they deserve this gesture. My aim is to assist one single parent weekly. I must mention, however, that not all single parents can be served, and therefore, a nominee will be selected at random. While I am eager to help, my ability to complete the repair depends on its cost. Fortunately, 95% of computer repairs involve labor, which I am willing to donate. I intend to utilize used or refurbished parts when available. Should anyone wish to contribute funds for parts, please visit the shop, or contact me via message or phone at 402-953-0001. All contributions will solely fund the purchase of necessary parts.
"Loved everything so far"
"TRUSTED, RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE
Are just a few words to capture this business. When I had very few people to count on, Steve was right there."
"Steve Did Amazing"
"Steve did amazing. He was upfront about what my device needed, told me about how much it would run, and always kept me up to date."
"Highly recommend this"
"Affordable Computer, Steve, provide great repurposed computers at a very reasonable price. I have several of their machines and they have never had an issue. The laptop and MAC are running strong."
We stand behind every repair with a guarantee and warranty, just like (or better than) higher-priced competitors.
Fast doesn’t mean rushed.
We’ve optimized our workflow and invested in diagnostic tools that speed up the process — without cutting corners.
Plus, every repair goes through a post-repair checklist and quality check before returning it to you.
“We guarantee it will work.”
If it doesn’t, you bring it back within 30 days and we make it right — no hassle, no extra cost.
We also invite you to test your device before you leave so you can see that it works as promised.
I get this question from time to time — and it’s completely fair.
Here’s how I handle it:
I charge $75 up front. That covers the first part of the labor and allows me to fully diagnose the problem — not just guess.
After 22 years in this business and over 25,000 computers repaired, I can usually give a reliable quote based on what you tell me and what I’ve seen before.
If anything turns out different than what I initially suspected, I’ll call you right away — and you’ll have a choice to make:
Option 1:
Give me the go-ahead to continue and agree to the quoted cost for parts and full repair. I’ll finish the job and get you back up and running.
Option 2:
Decide to stop right there. No problem — you won’t owe anything more.
You’ll get your computer back in pieces (if it was taken apart), or I can recycle it for you.
Option 3:
Ask me to reassemble the system — even if it’s not working.
In that case, I’ll finish the labor and you’ll pay the remaining balance of the flat labor fee.
I believe in fairness, faith, and treating people right.
“You shall not muzzle the ox while it treads out the grain.”
“The laborer is worthy of his wages.” – 1 Timothy 5:18
I do the work. I earn the wage.

Clear flat-rate pricing, published and available before you agree to service.
No surprise fees, no upselling.
Free diagnostics so you don’t pay until you choose to move forward.
Our reputation depends on happy customers — we’re a local, honest business that thrives on referrals and repeat business, not on one-time transactions.
Absolutely — we send real-time text or email updates at key stages: when it’s diagnosed, in progress, and ready for pickup.
You can always call us if you want an update at any time.
