Hi,
My sis is in Chennai these days and it seems her Lenovo has stopped working. problem: It does not even power on, no display - no activity at all. gave it lenovo service center in Chennai, they said motherboard is faulty and needs to be replaced. obvious, Its not feasible to change whole motherboard due to high costs.
Today, took it to repair shop. the guy there said both of the ram slots on motherboard are faulty and needs to "repaired" and quoted Rs2.5k as total cost of repair.
dear sis does not know much of about this, so I quizzed him on phone, asking to check if ram works or not,if one slot works or not & other such details things. Also told him that 2.5k is too much. maybe he got to know that I have some knowledge about all this. So, after while he reduced the quoted price to Rs1200.
I was shocked to know there can be so much price difference, I lost all trust in that repair guy. so, I am asking all chennai based TE members, for contact on where I can get that thinkpad repaired.
need, just two things:
1) Should correctly diagnose & repair the issue once for all
2) Should not overcharge
btw, Laptop model is:
lenovo IBM ThinkPad R61i 7732-7DC
Intel C2D T5250
1.5GB RAM
Intel GMA X310
80GB HDD
Any recommendations where should we get this laptop fixed? is the quote the guy gave is fair?
