Gateway MX7000 does not Power On
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
This is a follow up entry to our blog posting regarding bad computer stores.
Today another MX7000 laptop came in. These laptops have several different names but we call them the MX7000. The original owner had gone to the g**k squad and after paying for a diagnostic and waiting 2 months they were toldthat their machine was not repairable. They gave it to their friend for free.
The friend looked up laptop repair and found us. He brought the unit in for a free diagnostic. He dropped it off. A few days later his unit came up in line and our techs got to it. Having seen so many of these before we instantly knew what the problem was. A piece of plastic underneath the power button breaks. The new power button assembly is $119 installed. We quoted the customer and ordered the part.
When he came to pick the unit up he was blown away. He told us the above story and that he was thrilled to get a working laptop for $119.
