    I,m looking for advice , can anyone recommend a laptop repair shop within
    2 mile s of the city centre dublin .
    i plugged in an old laptop , dell 1750.
    the power light is on on the power supply.
    the laptop has no lights on , i press the power button it does not power on.
    is there a place that looks at the laptop and gives you an estimate,
    eg motherboard is damaged,
    it,ll cost x amount to fix it ,eg 75 euro approx.

    that 2009 laptop is really to slow to be of any use in 2020

    it was a low-end laptop in 2009.

    wouldn't bother putting any money into it.

    you'd be much better off putting the money into a better second-hand laptop

    look for an intel i3 minimum, min 6gb ram and ssd drive

    (or even one without an ssd and doing the ssd upgrade yourself)

    unplug power
    remove battery ,
    hold on/off for a minute

    reseat RAM , does it beep ?

    2009 - back up the HDD as it's way beyond it's design life


    Check price second hand on adverts , ebay and swap the drive if you really need the same model
