I've noticed in some magazinse such as Computer Shopper that there are
places that repair hard disks. They charge about $75 for repair of
20Meg drives.
I have a drive that is bad, and I'm in the process of either buying a
new one, or getting the original repaired.
So, I'm asking the net:
1.) Has anyone used any of these places?
If so, what are your comments?
2.) Is $75 a good price for the repair of a 20Meg drive?
If not, what is a good price?
3.) It this a good way to go for hard disk repair?
(would I be better off spending the money and
getting a new drive).
I already have my disk backed up, so that if it should completely die
right now, I'm covered.
Any thoughs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
