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).

Angeltronics

Actually, they are called Angeltronics. And the guy's name is indeed Peter.
And yes, he can be an odd duck because he has Asperger's (he told me) and can take awhile to fix your computer. On the other hand, I've brought my computer there about 5 times and a few of the times the repairs were very speedy. My tactic was to politely call him every day and check up on it.
Anyway, he always does a good job for a very fair price. I spilled wine on my laptop once and Microcenter told me to just buy a new computer. Peter scoffed at that and fixed my computer for only $200. AND threw in some security software, etc. He also recently fixed my fan.
My roommate and another friend have also successfully had computers repaired by him before. So, aside from the occasional oddness, I recommend him highly.
Oh yeah, and he'll diagnose the problem for free and give you a quote so you can decide before you leave it with him.
Good luck!
