Here is an update on my poor laptop
The guys at the repair shop finally gave me another update. After ordering and returning a second motherboard from China (because the return window was closing and other problems were still not fixed) they asked me if I wanted them to order another one from Canada this time. But they couldn't find a compatible screen (or backlight?) in the meantime and the keyboard is still messed up.
I said no I'll come pick it up! It's been 3 months!
So my computer still won't turn on because they put my fried motherboard back in.
My dad said to send it to him to France where he lives (I'm in the US now) so he can try to fix it himself but I don't know if I should risk mailing it?? It's going to be expensive, will it arrive safely??
or do I try to find another repairman here?
Ugh!! I'm lucky that I still have another old desktop at home to still scrap but it sucks working on such an old and slow machine. My internet keeps competing with my husband who works from home most of the time.
At least today my husband is at the office and I can use all the internet bandwidth to download some parts of my Backblaze files. Yesterday they kept failing because he was home.
I'm so frustrated! Do I just buy another laptop when I have the money?? I need a more powerful machine.
