How can I get my computer repaired?
Local computer shops would be your best bet. The other being troubleshooting.Troubleshoot to find out what component has given out or isn’t working, and get it fixed from the respective brand’s service center.The advantage of the latter method is that you won’t be spending on charges levied by computer repair shops for the same task, and you get your part directly fixed by the manufacturing company. It allows for greater transparency and less long term hassle since there’s virtually no middleman involved.PS. This is a good resource if your computer absolutely refuses to start: No power or computer does not turn on

Should I repair or get a new computer?
As a computer repair business we often recommend customers NOT TO repair their computer, but to buy a new computer. In fact it is so common now we have written a very detailed page just on when to repair or replace a computer.Basically we understand that the price of computers is now creeping up to the price of repairs - obviously depending upon the repair. We are also reluctant to replace an expensive hardware component on a machine that is over five years…. The last thing we or the customer wants is to have them come back in a few months time with another major component failure. In this case we recommend replacing rather than repairing - if the machine is not something very special and very expensive to replace…For general computer users really an average PC, laptop and even Mac over five years it is definitely worth considering replacing rather than repairing. We do try to encourage customers if they are looking for a new PC to allow us to custom build a computer them as most PC’s these days come bloated with software that is not used and just slows down the performance of the machine. Also we use quality components that we know are durable and cost-effective.The major problem people are having these days with replacing machines is that they come with Windows 10 and a lot of people do not want to change. One of the major problems with Windows 10 is the enforced updates that can contain bugs in them…Rambling on a bit here, there are many factors to take into account but they are all listed in the Pros and Cons contained in the page Repair or Replace, link above.
Computer repair guy broke my laptop?
Okay so I took my laptop to a computer repair shop because it wasn't running like how it use to when I first bought it even though i only bought it 8 months ago. So I took it to the computer guy and asked it to examine it to see if there were any problems with either the hardware or the windows 7 program for a cost of 50 dollars. Blah blah blah, 2 days later i picked it up with the conclusion that I had wasted my money, I brought it home and found out the speakers weren't working when I tried to listen to some music. I am positive the computer guy didn't put my laptop back correctly after checking the hardware. So my question is, what legal actions can I take? hah, i had love to sue but this is very minimal. Can I get him to fix the speakers free of charge?
While repairing a computer, have you ever found something illegal on it?
Yes. Early in my career, I repaired computers for a well known franchise that required us to dress in a nerdy uniform and run repairs. Most were boring. People come in complaining of slow response, lag, etc, and we ran through a standard slew of repairs, including blowing out the machine, a quick physical inspection, and running antivirus and malware repair software.Nine times out of ten, we found porn on computers—this was back in the earlier file sharing days, so often when you found a folder near the root entitled “New Folder,” you instantly grinned to yourself, knowing what was inside before clicking on it. The guys I worked with (mostly young and single) would even occasionally copy some clips they liked. Certainly no one judged, and we even phrased things carefully when talking with customers, speaking very generally about how free movies and music could be dangerous to your machine.One day, however, I remember dealing with a guy who was quite horrible, who made quite a lot of noise at check in about how this was his business machine and how we needed to make sure we didn’t mess up any of his important documents or records. He was quite rude about it. Later that night I was working on a different machine in the back, and I still will never forget watching a young man blanch as he clicked open the file folder that contained what appeared to be a massive amount of child pornography. We barely glanced at it but it was horrifying.I remember a corporate office being called and authorities basically instructing us to summon him as if his computer was done. When he showed, he was very quickly whisked away. The computer was seized as evidence. I never saw him again, and mentally filed away the encounter as a reminder to always trust my spidey sense with people.
