pretty large op. I fix acer computers desktops and laptops that are sent back. I replace lcd screens,mobo,hd,ram. whatever the problem is i need to know how to fix it. My first day today i fixed about 12 comuters. today. Some are easy like soft restores but some are tough like replaceing a mobo in laptop.

That's a little low for my area, but not too bad. Depending on your experience and certifications you can get around $15 an hour doing the same thing.

Again I'm only basing this on what I used to make doing that type of work (several years ago) and based on my experience level, which for that type of work is considerable. I also know what I was offered for that type of work when I put my resume online less than a year ago.
