Slow Computer Fixed

October 8th, 2011 at 08:40 am

My computer was getting on the slow side, and making a noise on start up too! So I put it in the repair shop to get fixed. They found one sector of the memory was lost and power to the computer was on the way out. So these were fixed and cleaned. I paid $180 for the service next time, I will upgrade my computer altogether. I had too many other bills to lay out for a new computer at this time. I have to get a new mobile that is unlocked just to name one. So I have been without a computer for 3 days so I just hope it will last another 18 months or so.

Strategy - If can be fixed then repair it, but use the less then half rule on replacement costs.

    I don't know about you, but I always feel better if something can be fixed, even if I am not the one fixing it.

    My laptop keyboard went out on a trip the other week, and it lead me to freak out because my AppleCare insurance had recently expired. I just knew it was going to cost an arm and a leg to fix, but the repair guy extended my warranty for free and fixed it while I waited. I was amazed and sooo grateful!

    Carol - I was told that's the Power, get it check as soon as you can.

    Mine made that grinding noise only when it was on first start up for the day. Once the computer was up and running the noise stops.

    Jerry you were lucky.
