Please help Damsel in Distress!!!!!!!!
I need urgent help (not for my mental incapabilities or alcholism due to freshers week!!). My laptop has decided not to work and I went to see a guy in the computer shop here at uni but he reckons that it will cost about £300-£400 to fix it!!!! He didn't even look at it though. It was working and I copied a CD, switched it off as normal and then when I went to switch it on as usual there was nothing on the screen although it was still whirring like usual. A flatmate plugged it into his monitor but it still didn't work so I haven't got a clue what is wrong with it (especially as I'm blonde and not good with anything technical!). Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with it or somewhere I could take it to get it fixed or should I buy a new one? Also, will this mean that I've lost everything saved onto my laptop??
Help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
Sarah
