Laptop Hardware Repairs
Looking for some suggestions, from someone in the know, as to where to take this broken Laptop....
Advent laptop bought August 2007 from PC World, which now has a power problem. When the charger is plugged into the computer the green power light (on the charger itself starts flickering and goes dim). Plugged into another similar laptop the charger works fine. Another charger plugged into the ailing laptop behaves the same way. ie the problem is definitely with the laptop.
I should say that there is no sign of any activity on the laptop at all when power is supplied to it.
My local Computer shop charges a minimum of £85.00 to look at it. Looking on-line, although there are lots of "no fix no fee" outfits, I understand that the no fee bit does not apply if they offer to fix it for an amount that is not worthwhile, and I refuse. Clearly if the repairs are going to be in the hundreds, I would consider scrapping it and getting a new one.
Many thanks
