A few weeks ago I took my poorley laptop to a small independant computer shop in Stafford. Now for the record I am no computer geek hence the need for help from those who possess the 'knowledge'.
Problems with my laptop was a worn keyboard and I suspected overheating that kept causing it to shut down.
A week or so after depositing my machine at the shop I was contacted and informed a new keyboard had been fitted and its cooling fan cleaned. or so I thought.
As soon as I got it home I plugged it in and but it still kept shutting down, however it had a nice new or nearly new keyboard.
I returned it to the shop and sometime later I was contacted and informed the problem was the hard drive.
I collected my laptop to consider whether to have a new hard drive fitted or cut my losses and buy a new lap top.
I then noticed on this forum advertisements for WMR Computers and after viewing their no fix no fee rates and prices I thought I'd give them a chance.
I dropped off my laptop with Wayne the owner and a few hours later he contacted me saying that the hard drive was fine and as it was still running hot he doubted if the fan had been cleaned.
A day or two later I picked up my laptop running fine and with various software upgrages added Wayne I only wish I'd taken it to you first.
