760011 2009-03-27 07:13:00 Err me lol. Whats wrong with it?? Whats it doing or not doing?

I've never been into a repair shop. If something is buggered, I try and fix it myself. If I cant fix it, it says hi to the nearest rubbish bin :p

One of these ? (maps.google.co.nz)

Otherwise, take it to Speedy:p

figure repair shops are like mechanics, the best ones are always recommended.

a family member who is training to be a it whiz had a look at it and reckons the mother board is rooted. before he looked at it i turned it on and a message about hardware failure came up, since he's looked at it the lights light up but the screen does not work any more

760017 2009-03-27 07:47:00 Does it say anything else besides hardware failure?? Like an error code / a series of numbers / letters or something? Whats the brand/model ?

Could be a knackered hdd.

:lol: Hope the person is better than the so called "Computer Expert" in a family I went to today - He said the Mother board and hard drive were stuffed. YEAH RIGHT - removed the virus and it booted good enough to repair--- Some "expert":p

You cant train to be a "whiz"-- its experience that teaches you more than most books.
