Earth Day 2009

Happy Earth Day!
Today our inboxes were full of advertisements from various computer vendors talking about how green they are. While they do what they can and we do what we can here, the bottom line is that computers are terrible for the environment.
So what can you do? Instead of throwing out your broken computer, get it fixed! Here of course! =)

Wax On, Wax Off
Monday, April 20, 2009
We figured that this laptop repair was blog-worthy. A candle burning on a mantle burned down and melted. The liquid wax ran off the edge of the mantle and onto this open HP laptop. The user was away eating a sandwich. They came back to this mess! A laptop covered in wax! The keyboard was ruined and the unit was covered in wax.
Being a previous AbsoluteRaleigh customer they rushed the unit over here. We were able to replace the keyboard and clean the unit up for under $100! Most of the laptop was cleaned using our special citrus cleaner, alcohol and glass cleaner.
Be careful with your laptop, Danielson!

Updated: New Laptops page
Just a note- we updated our New Laptops page. It now reflects that we carry Toshiba and Dell laptops.
We're going to try to keep the Toshiba S300 laptops in stock, as they seem to be in demand at the moment.
