I'm not a computer hardware guy, but I like to think I can find out whats wrong wtih computer software pretty decently.
My g/fs Dell Laptop Inspiron 1100, started off by not charging. Ok, the a/c adapter had been been long enough that I thought the end had computer broken inside. New power adapter.
didn't fix it.
Ok, so battery.
Nope. Didn't fix it.
Ok, I give up. Spend 99.95 to take it to Microcenter to get it diagnosed. They want $400 to send it off to Dell to get fixed. No f'ning way! They tell me that were the a/c adapter plugs into the computer is bad. Ok, I'll take it locally to get fixed.
So I take it to NW DC to a shop that says NO PROBLEM! Woo Hoo!! Now this guy tells me that the power port is fine, its a piece on the mother board and he'll fix it for the low low price of $250!
WHO THE HELL AM I TO BELIEVE????? HOW DO I GET A GD ACCURATE DIAGNOSTIC!!!!
Ug!
