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

The widow PC is a sweet laptop, expensive though in todays market. I bet if you imaged the HD onto a SSD and swapped it out it would really scream (if you havent yet)

I wouldn't recommend getting an older used PC off ebay since you never know what it has been through and new laptops are so cheap right now.

I also wouldn't assume the motherboard to be the problem without running some tests, most shutdown problems i have encountered have been from Hard Drives and Power supply/batteries.

George, you find a place to drop it (other than off your kayak) or find a new one?
