Up until about a year ago I was the prous owner of a functional but somewhat long in the tooth laptop, and on two occasions, once after spilling a whole bottle of Corona on it, and again when the hard drive packed in, they came to my rescue like knights in shining armour. Further hats off to the fact they didn't take me to the cleaners either, and charged only 50 bangers after the Corona incident, when I expected double that.
However, I wasn't quite as chuffed on my third visit there, this time after a bottle of water had done the damage. A couple of days after handing it in, the guy called to say it looked ok but wasn't acting ok, and to give him a couple more days. When those days were up, and he hadn't called back, I went in myself to be told it was completely unfixable, and just to bin it.
I'm not sure why, but I got the sneaking suspicion that he just couldn't be arsed fixing it, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. read more
