I dropped my laptop, it wouldn't turn on again, I panicked and searched online for an affordable repair service. Got really annoyed by shops where you had to pay for phoning them or who only do software service. Found Jan, called and brought my laptop over 20 minutes later.
Next day I got the diagnosis: Hard-drive okay, something's wrong with the motherboard. I shed some tears, got my hard-drive inserted in a usb-thingy to take home (like an external drive) and Jan gave my laptop to a colleague. Costs up to here: 30€.
His colleague took a little longer (just as Jan predicted). BUT he found out, that only the "Einschaltplatine" (chip for switching on(?)) needed replacement. Ordered it, tried it, it worked, hoorray! Additional costs for parts and putting them in: 50€
So all in all I paid 80€. - Absolutely fair!
Would absolutely recommend. read more
