who is/ or knows a good laptop repair guy. I have a HP dv2000 and it has the overheating problem which is causing the screen to always give me horizontal lines. I would like it fixed. I can do it myself but I luv the gadget too much.

Did you finally replace that machine of yours ama Irungu is still eating all your cash!!!

@tosh, replaced it. Actually just topped up n got a toshiba replacement (anyone agreeing that this is the most HARDY laptop?). The guy adviced me against any comp with the AMD processor. After only 3 yrs, limited use n careful handling, the ill-fated Compaq presario v3000 ilikuwa na shida kama bijuti ya guka...Hard disc was kaput....

@simonkabz, the most "hardy" laptop, hands down, is the Lenovo (formerly IBM) thinkpad. HP/Cpq is one of the worst brands. I've overseen the selection and implementation of literally hundreds of thousands of notebooks, desktops, servers, and network equipment, and while HP/Cpq makes very good servers, their notebooks are garbage. Always overheating. Chassis flexing. The Thinkpad is the only notebook worth actually repairing (based on the US price of parts and labor). I was afraid when IBM sold the brand to Lenovo, and Lenovo makes non-Thinkpad lappies that are garbage. But the Thinkpad is still number 1, and Apple laptops number two. They are both expensive, but like the old saying goes "Noone has ever been fired for buying IBM."
