IMO, most technicians probably don't actually know as much (or are ingenious, or ambitious enough) as they advertise or think of themselves. This is probably a fairly regular thing (liquids in a laptop) and they probably didn't do much more than you did initially (i.e. turn it on). Similar thing happened to me last year with mine, but we have to realize that electronics in general these days are simply not built for long-term (i.e. 2+ years) use. The business model assumes (and promotes!) that we need to buy the newest thing even if the old model is perfectly sufficient.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899758156823918525noreply@blogger.com
