Fix Ya is all about helping consumers troubleshoot the problems they encounter with their gadgets and devices. In their words, they say they provide “free tech support and technical help for gadgets, electronics equipment and consumer products.” Just a few weeks ago it was announced that Best Buy and Geek Squad would be partnering up with FixYa. Instead of bringing your computer in to Best Buy to get it fixed, you may be able to ask your question on FixYa and have it answered for free.
Who Answers Your Questions? If you’re wondering who it is that provides expert advice for the devices you own, it’s a team about about 30,000 different contributors. These contributors are average people like you who happen to know a little something about gadgets. Anybody can can suggest a solution for a problem that someone has posted, and then the community of FixYa rates the solution given as either “inappropriate,” “thanks for trying,” “helpful,” or “FixYa!” which is the best.
Topics covered… You’re not going to find answers to your question about which brand of ketchup you should buy or what the best place to eat in San Francisco is. What you will find though is a huge list of different manufactures who make gadgets, electronics, and consumer products like Acer, Compaq, Epson, IBM, Insignia, Motorola, Panasonic, and more. In all, there are over 800,000 different consumer products covered.
Signing up for an account FixYa is free, unless you want “Premium Assistance” in which case it will cost. But then you’ll be guaranteed to get an answer via a post or Live Chat.
Features Other features at FixYa include:

Becoming an expert: Anybody can become an expert by filling out a form found here, and you can even get paid. Of course not everybody is an expert in every field, so you just let them know which areas you’re an “expert” in.
Searching for Answers Searching for answers for your products is simple because everything is broken down into brands and then products. On their homepage on the bottom right you’ll see a list of brands broken down in alphabetical order. I clicked on Garmin, then I was able to browse through the list of different Garmin products to find the unit I own, the Garmin Nuvi 660. Once I found it, I could click on and then do the following:

• search the Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS receiver knowledgebase
• view problems/questions that have solutions
• view problems/questions that don’t have a solution yet
• post a new problem
• subscribe to the product page via RSS
• view tips and tricks (one tip in particular which explained how to do a full reset to original factory status was helpful)
• view the WikiManual (if available)
• See manuals and guides (if available)
• View product specifications
• View contact information
