I brought my laptop into a repair shop and they charged me $50 up front for the "assessment". Does this assessment fee contribute towards the subtotal? Seems like a ripoff paying that $50 if I'm gonna have to pay for the parts replacements and work put in aswell.
The problem is I spilled tea on it months ago and sometimes it goes through phases where it won't turn on. I hit the power button and it starts up for about 3 seconds then shuts down. If I leave it a few days it usually starts working again like there was nothing wrong at all so this indicates its just a problem with one of the circuits and none of the components are damaged. The guy in the shop said it may need a new motherboard but I told him I doubt the motherboards damaged but theyre the experts not me. If they say they have to put in a new motherboard Im not gonna stop them. Are replacement motherboards expensive?
