For those of you who have me on Facebook, may have heard about my rather awesome pick up (I think its awesome anyway)...so here's the story.
About 3 months ago, a customer comes in with a laptop that has an issue. The issue was "Laptop keyboard was punched, and system turns on, and then doesn’t work correctly. Please quote on repair"
So we look at it, and the quote for repairs and labour comes to ~$350, we tell the customer, they think about it... don't hear back for 2-3 months. We ring the customer to say either come and pay the diagnostics fee, or we bin it. Customer comes in the other day, pays the diagnostic fee, and says to bin it anyway.
All this thing needs is a new Keyboard and a Hard Drive, already spoken to the Manufacturer, a new keyboard is ~$75, and a hard drive is whatever I want to spend. System comes with a Windows 7 HP CD Key, so isn't too badly spec'd either, so I am rather stoked .
