cuttin_in_farm 12/20/18 10:14:57 AM #1:	I recall Geek Squad being a thing, but I dont think we have one around. Google says Best Buy can help, but they cost a lot. My computers start button isnt working. I think its jammed. It releases, just wont turn on. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. <cite>cuttin_in_farm posted [p:914440498] in Who can I ...

Flockaveli 12/20/18 10:20:21 AM #7:	There should be lots of independent/small business electronics repair shops in the area unless you live like in the boonies or something. They mostly advertise cell phone repairs but its nothing to walk in and ask if they can help with laptops also, and if not Im sure they can steer you in the right direction. --- I'm in Chicago, I'm shaking my head. <cite>Flockaveli posted [p:914440721] in Who can I ...

AltOmega 12/20/18 10:46:16 AM #8:	cuttin_in_farm posted... Who can I bring a broken laptop to to fix? Me. But in all seriousness, a similar thing happened to my dad's laptop awhile back where he dropped it with a USB plugged into the back and dislocated the board containing the power button (which you can physically see after detaching the keyboard). IIRC, the trickiest part was reattaching the ribbons that connect the keyboard to the motherboard. Admittedly, my brother had to do that for me since my hands aren't steady enough. --- - I dislike Sony and Nintendo equally but own both of their consoles plus a PC. - I'm a traditional leftist and I literally work for the government. <cite>AltOmega posted [p:914441851] in Who can I ...
