Laptop Repair---need a geek with parts.

We're gonna be in Ontario Calif next week and our laptop needs repairing---need new keyboard, fan, and CPU may be damaged.

I don't want to take it to Best Buy or Staples (don't want to drop it off and come back in a wk).

I'm looking for a local guy who has a repair place---Anyone know of a place near the Petro and TA?
Local guys don't always have a website or show up on Google.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. If anyone knows of a place in Amarillo, or Denver, those are places that could work for us in the future.

Yeah, I did a google search. If I want to make 50 phone calls to take my chances, I can do that, but I'd be more comfortable if a TTR member had a recommendation.

Yeah, $150 is probably what I'd have to spend to fix it, But I like the HP Pavillion and it has Windows 7 and other hardware I can't afford to replace....so, fixing it is way easier.

 

Thanks for the link, Mark. I like those prices, but I really need to get my HP fixed ASAP and we rarely go home, so going to Frye's and doing it myself isn't feasible. Besides, I've never applied thermopaste to the whatchamahoosy in the thingamabob.

 

Thanks Condo,
Yes, I've heard the Pavillion is a lemon, only after I'd had mine for a couple years.
I seem to fall in love with lemons, 'cuz I also own a Chrysler Sebring, which I've been told my particular year and model was a real bbbaaadddd one. But I've had mine for 16 yrs and it still purrs like a kitten and runs like a stallion.

$400??? I'd have told HP the same thing.
Thanks for the Dell recommendation.

 

Thanks Roadmedic,
That's encouraging . Other than my G42 screen being on the small size, I have always liked it. My old Sony Vaio was a real brick, and I'm never going to join the Apple cult.

I just really need someone to recommend a repair place in Ontario Calif so I can get mine fixed next wk. We're in OKC now, waiting to load, and I haven't been able to access our settlement sheets for 2 wks., let alone handle our banking. I'm flying blind out here with no 'puter.:smt100
