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.
