13. Is it really no fix no fee?
... of a repair (evidence opposite the burnt board as a result of shoddy workmanship). At £320 a new board is un-economical so the laptop is a write off which might be no fee but a new laptop is going to be a lot of money. Somewhere along the way we’ve created a huge divide between companies trying to hide costs (as above) and some high street retailers charging an exorbitant flat fee to fix any unit which ensures they cover all their costs. Why don’t we just face facts - couriers cost money, engineer time costs money, new parts cost money. If we simply looked at these costs and were open about these we might just end up paying for what we’ve actually received. So free really isn’t free. But some companies offer good value for money whilst actually paying for the service you receive. Surely that’s what you should really be looking for....

14. Road to Recovery
... when repairs are needed. A lot of these when they come from the original manufacturer have information with them that can be used in the need to revert back to the original state, if needed for the purposes of repair. However in recent years, these CDs have begun to be faded out for two distinct and rather different reasons. Firstly – by keeping this information on the actual machine (normally with hard drive partitions) potential distribution of the CD for “unofficial” use is completely eradicated. Secondly, and you may say cynically more importantly – a large cost saving is made by not having to create the CDs in the first place. This does, however, bring a potential issue for the user as should the system fail completely – you no longer have a backup CD as invariably the partitioned backup is lost. This leaves you no option but to turn to your manufacturer to obtain a duplicate copy. This can cost up to £49.99 so hits your pocket – when really it could be avoide...
