Repair recommendation?
I woke up this morning to the beeping of my UPS informing me that my desktop computer had blown a fuse. Which it keeps doing. Right now I'm hoping it's the power supply (though there doesn't seem to be that distinctive smell in the air), but I don't have time to fix it myself. It was built for me at Filtech, which no longer exists, unfortunately. Anyone have any suggestions for an honest and reliable repair shop? -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-978-3311 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42

In the end, I took it to A2ZPC on Dundas West (right near the intersection of Dundas and Roncesvalles); Ahmet did a great job -- it was the power supply -- he checked it out; called me to suggest what PS to put in as a replacement; tested it; I had it back two hours after dropping it off. An honest and competent job of work for a good price. Very pleased. -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-978-3311 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
Canada Computers has a repair department at most locations. I've used it once (Vaughan location, Jane & Rutherford). No complaints. No ripoff. On 18 November 2017 at 09:13, Peter King via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

Ditto: the North York store diagnosed a battery glitch no-charge, and later tried out larger memory cards to find that 4 GB was the max they could sell me for my little netbook. --dave On 18/11/17 12:24 PM, Evan Leibovitch via talk wrote:
