Since this was in the bad old day the laptop was fixable for under $200 so it wasn't too bad.
Still, makes sense to keep an eye on what you plug into your computer.
- randyrand 11y agoI recently fried my laptop (still worth $500 on ebay and was $1800 new...), from a cheap chinese pcie adapter. I would love to know where or how I could repair it for and how much.
- sedachv 11y agoYou can find motherboards and other components on eBay. http://www.laptopinventory.com/ http://www.laptopinventory.com/ has a very good catalog and excellent how-to videos. I have done parts replacement on a few of my laptops (screens, keyboards, touchpads) and if you have ever added RAM to a laptop the process for the other components is not really any different.
