Computer hardware help?

[contradictacat.livejournal.com]

I've finally decided to get my laptop fixed, so who can you recommend for fixing a almost 6-year-old laptop (IBM T40) with a 'fan error'? I've heard good things about Microcenter...any corroborating stories? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

T-accessible is nice, but not 100% necessary (as in Microcenter is a little far, but not impossible).

It will certainly be easier and cheaper to buy a gently used laptop in working condition than to have an old one, particularly a 6-year-old one repaired. Try craigslist (but watch out for stolen laptops).

Same advice

With labor and parts, it'll be at least $300 to fix the old one, depending on what's wrong with it.
