all depends on how much he charges for getting it working I suppose.

re Bondi38. she had come back with a tale of hard drive controller which in > 15 years of messing with PCs I've not seen one die and then when it comes to laptops they can't be 'replaced' as they are part and parcel of the motherboard. As the complaint was that it wasn't booting then he'd screwed up the config in BIOS which would only need a simple reset ( all of 30 seconds or so) or it was broken which Neil agrees is a very funny position to have recovered from.
