I would expect some fee. But hopefully not the entire 80.

80s fairly reasonable...for diagnostics.... I charge between 50 and 200 depending on how annoying the customer is.... and thats just the diagnostics, not the repair.

If you do not get a repair, then they will still charge the full diagnostic fee. If you can get the laptop fixed, great, if not, buy the new one which will be less than the one you were using, but will be better than nothing.

The Fry's in this area has Windows 7 Home for $95 (stock #8043244) and Windows 7 Professional for $129 (stock #8043284). Both can also be purchased online.

Windows 8 - Microsoft taking the windows out of their operating system. Why call it windows when the "apps" take exclusive control of your display to function? No more windowing multiple applications at once if one is an "app". Have you considered replacing the hard drive yourself and reloading your operating system? Please tell me you did make the set of recovery discs when you originally got the laptop.

quote: ORIGINAL: LittleGirlHeart How much of that is attempting to upsell me? Is this really a slow computer? Acer Aspire E5-511 15.6" Notebook with Intel Pentium N3530 Processor & Windows 8.1 Intel® Pentium® N3530 Quad-Core Processor 2.16GHz with Intel® Burst Technology up to 2.58GHz Windows 8.1 15.6" HD Widescreen CineCrystal™ LED-backlit Display 4096MB DDR3L SDRAM Memory I'm actually curious (dubious actually) about any core that's classified under the "Pentium" moniker, which was effectively tossed 15 years ago. That sounds a bit odd to me but....I did a search on it and, indeed there are new devices being sold with that (apparent) chip. (Still seems a bit odd....kind of like "and the new models have the latest thing; tailfins!!!!)
