Laptop Repairs

My Sony laptop will not switch on, it's not the battery or power lead. I have found a company called Fix mypc NI. Has anyone experience of using them and if so what do you think.
Alternatively has anyone used someone else who they could recommend?

Cheers
Ernie

    Hi,

    I have not used Fix mypc NI but I moved here a few weeks ago and found a guy on gumtree who done a clean install on my Laptop for £20.00 in Belfast.

    He also sorted malware from my netbook for free.

    I would be happy to pm his number to you.

    Regards,
    Rob
