Steve,
I visited your website and see that your occupation is PC Repair.
In all sincerity, I think you have run into the chance of a life time to prove your skills by taking that laptop machine apart and repairing / replacing items which may be damaged.
I would even suggest taking pictures of the process and posting them on your very good website to draw in more business. (That's why I said chance in a life time)
I would go for the challenge. What do you think ??

Well your very smart and i thank you..thats an excellent idea actually..i only didnt want to tear it apart because they dont want to spend on repairing it..they thought if it was just a harddrive.. they would do that but did not want to put the cash into labour and parts..i will tear it down and inspect everything anyway because i am just curiougs.i have repaired many pcs but never have dealt with a lightening strike...but do know what it can do..i will take the challenge ..itll cost me but thats ok ..lol thank you you are thinking anyway appreciate it very good reply ! ! steve
pumpkinman,
What can I say but give you my deepest sympathy.
We are going through some pretty tough times and no telling what folks will do just to buy food and gas.
Just out of curiosity, how are you getting back on line so fast after such an experience ??
Kindest Regards,
