I agree with Reg. If it is the mother board that is the problem, the
information installed on the hard drive should be fine. The person may be
absolutely correct, but I would definitely get a second opinion before I would
expect to have all of my data and programs destroyed.

Saying nothing could be saved doesn't sound right. Even if the board died
the hard drive might be fine. Did he say that before or after looking at
it. Second opinion maybe? Wonder if he really wanted to work on it. How
far away is the shop? There's a Computers Plus on 64th St. up north that's
Share Fareable, but call them to make sure they do laptops. Yes, it's worth
fixing with the 104 key keyboard and all. That was a pretty good system.

Hello, My lap top died. It would come on but there was nothing there. I
was told it was the mother board and he thought it would cost about $200
.00 plus $75.00 to install. Plus another $25.00 for it to be taken out
there and then brought home. I was told that he could not save any of the
information and everything would have to be installed. It's only two years
old. It Windows Vista. Does this sound right? I would need to pay someone
to install everything all over again as well. I really like that lap top
but is it worth putting this kind of money in to it? Thank you for any
advice.
Cathy
