Should I Make My Own Computer Repairs?
How tempting is it to give in and buy a brand new computer every couple of years? I know it is something I would like to do. However, I stepped back and re-examined my situation. I have some great computers already and all I really need to do is buy memory and a few other things to give them an update. Of course, my laptop probably needs a little more work than that, including a new power cord connection and possibly a repair for the DVD drive. Still, it is a solid piece of equipment and it would be a shame for me to just give up and spend several thousand dollars to replace it with the biggest and the best.
What is stalling me is the decision to try the upgrades and repairs on my own or to find someone locally that can do it for me. Don’t tell me to go to one of the service places in the big chain electronics stores. They hire complete morons. I’ve already been in and talked to more of them than I should have. I am looking around for a small business owned by geeks who really know their stuff, so to speak. The Yellow Pages are useless, because I want real opinions by real customers. If I ask around enough, I will surely strike gold.
