OT: Recommendations for Computer Repair Outlet
My Acer Aspire 1703 Desk-Note is playing up. It suddenly and instantly dies on an intermittent basis. It appears to occur more when under heavy processor load. Sometimes a little warning sign is given by the screen dimming for a fraction of a second beforehand. Unplugging the power lead and re-plugging allows me to restart - but the problem keeps coming back. I suspect a heat / dodgy connection problem. Can anyone recommend a good repair outlet in town. I have used Dove Electronics before but the last time they managed to lose (physically) my entire hard drive - so I'd prefer to try somewhere else. All suggestions welcome. Ta

Most linux people would do this kind of thing themselves... have you tried having a look? Hot stuff should be fairly evident. Can anyone recommend a good repair outlet in town.

What - you sent it off somewhere without doing a backup? Dove are excellent wholesalers - did you give them a chance to make good? -- Craig Falconer

Ta How close are you to Rangiora or Kaiapoi? The IPC places in those to towns are quite good in my limited experience.

Hey man, The service agent for Acer in CHCH is Datacom (and they suck majorly) I have spent the last year or so working as a tech (and I'm Acer approved too), drop me your contact details and we'll go from there BTW just outa curiosity, does it have a nVidia 7 or 8 series graphics chip?
