The consumer can take their computer to a shop or have it picked up by the shop itself. Be careful of the extra charges or the “free pickup” offer. There may be hidden costs to cover gas usage or travel time for the shop to come to you. Make sure that all work is explained to you before it is done. However on your part, please explain the problem in the greatest amount of detail so that the technician can do his or her job precisely.

There are refurbished parts available for your computer and often they are suitable components, especially if you are on a tight budget. I will mention a warning about using refurbished parts; their warrant is very limited considering they were sent back to the manufacturer for repairs. So the fine balance on using them over new parts is left for your judgment. In some cases there are times where a cable plug in has come loose inside the chassis (computer case) and just needs to be reseated.
