My laptop died on me last week. I was trying to grab the 100 photos for 8 euros promotion by uploading all the photos online and then suddenly the screen went blank. A message popped up saying that Window couldn't restart due to failure in one of the hardwares.
Hubby said the hard drive broke so we bought a new one. Unfortunately it didn't work after replacing the hard drive, and the light was off eventhough it was plugged.
Should I wave fairwell to this 5 years old IBM Thinpad or should I repair it? I'm struggle to come out with a decision. This was my first laptop I bought from US. We ordered it online and it arrived on a fine day while I was sleeping. Hubby installed everything and when I woke up, I got a laptop really to function. It was a wonderful laptop, never had much problem, I had been traveling with it to Malaysia many times.
Hubby suggested me to buy a new one and he started researching online. For me, I prefer to repair this old laptop and pay the minimum. I do not need a super advance laptop, just something to store photos, surf the net and probably use the webcam function from time to time. I do not even watch DVD nor listen to music with it.
It is yet another hard decision to take. I do not even know where to get this repaired.
the repair cost going to cost you a lot, and at the ends it much better to buy a brand new laptop. Unless you can repair it on your own, or get any of you colleague who works in IT dept to check.
ReplyDeleteMy laptop also died on me a few weeks ago. Hub think it's the video card and cannot be replaced without replacing the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteThe repair will costs u as much as a new one.
