Fixing things is not my problem.
Replaced and upgraded hard drives in many Laptops, and in
Netbooks. (Upgraded memory in sons and is companions netbook, and
swapped out the HD in one of them. pretty simple to work on really.)
No drink needed. Drink celebrated of course.
The smaller stuff gives me a few problems. (Steadiness of hand, and
grip problem, not to mention must have glasses on and aimed just right.)
I can eat dinner for a lot less. (usually do)
I spend as little money on computer repairs as possible.
That is why I build most of my desktop units. I know what I am putting in it.

I spent $52 today on weekly food shopping, after $18 in coupons. My
point is that the savings from changing the battery yourself vs.
paying much more to have the shop do the same thing is like finding
free money. You can do weekly shopping with it or you can splurge or
you can save/invest it. I used to keep track of refund/coupon
savings on a calendar when it was around $3000 a year. We save a lot
more by doing simple tech jobs ourselves.
After fixing the hardware yourself, you might need the drink.
