When I have had to send my work notebook in for repair, I have always removed the hard disk and just sent in the unit. That way I can either just use it in a spare (which I sometimes have had the luxury of) or at worst case stick it into a USB hd case and at least be able to access my data.
So my thoughts when finding a repairer and wanting to avoid the whole non-supported OS issue is just tell them you aren't going to send the disk with it. This works of course if you are sure that it is definitely a hardware fault ;-) On 7/9/07, Erik de Castro Lopo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all, Anyone have any recommendations for a laptop repairer who knows what Linux is. I have a Dell laptop with nothing but Linux on it a minor hardware problem.
