Laptop Repair - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Anyone know of a reputable place in the Norwalk/Cerritos/Downey area that does free diagnosis on laptops? I have a Compaq Presario F700 that took a dump a few months ago and its time to get it fixed but I don't want to take it somewhere like bestbuy.

If you were down in SD i'd check it out for nothing...

smart to stay away from Worst Buy though...

Describe took a dump. Is it now powering on, blue screen of death, errors on boot up? Could be as simple as buying a new hard drive and reimaging.

You do realize your not supposed to take your laptop hooping with you?

will it boot off a CD/DVD? you can burn a UBCD and check the hard disk, memory etc.....

you can also plug in an external monitor to check to see if anything is showing on the screen

is this an older laptop? have you removed the battery and reinserted it and plugged it back in?
