New Internet Service Offers Students a Convenient Way to Repair That Old Reliable Laptop
(PRWEB) June 7, 2007 -- A new Internet service offering a convenient way to repair that old reliable laptop understands students like Jack Fourie, a student on a frayed-shoestring budget. When Jack broke the hinges on his laptop (http://www.laptopservice.com), he was in a real fix. Like millions of students, Fourie, a grad student at Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania, heavily relies on that computer.
Jack discovered what many others have: The more compact the technology, the more difficult it is to get it repaired. He managed to get his laptop over to a couple of shops, but neither of them would do it for less than $800, citing the need for monitor replacement. "For that price, I could almost buy a new laptop," Jack says.
Jack found an online laptop repair service and was able to get it done for $600 less than what he had been quoted at repair shops. "They were able to supply the hinges separately, which was obviously a much better deal for me and made me pretty happy," he says.
"It was cool," he says. "I just sent the laptop in with Fed-Ex and they sent it back a week-and-a-half later, all fixed."
Nasir Ali, CEO of the Laptopservice.com, has been getting laptops in for repair almost since the day the site went up. He finds that many people live in situations where shipping their laptop off for repair is far more convenient than searching for a reliable local laptop repair shop.
The most common issues have been relatively little things: DC power jack replacement, keyboard problems, and overheating. But even motherboard and LCD screen repair can be done relatively cheaply.
Dealing with manufacturers can mean hours spent on the phone, and the turnaround time is often too long for many students to endure. People are willing to pay the $100-$200 to get it done privately from a company such as his.
But a crucial question that can arise, especially with the "old reliable" laptop: What happens if the cost to service a laptop is close to the cost of buying a new one? The answer is, it's really a cost decision. If a laptop is worth $400, and it will cost $300 to repair, then replacement is obviously a better option. But be aware of the possible additional cost of operating systems and important applications such as MS Office that need replacing with newer versions.
If a student needs to sell a laptop (http://www.laptopservice.com) the company can offer assistance with that, too. They will either buy the laptop at fair market value, or will apply its value to a trade-in.
If anyone knows the best prices on life's necessities such as food and clothing, it's students. To this collection can now be added convenient and inexpensive laptop repair (http://www.laptopservice.com).
