Do you replace or repair malfunctioning computers?

[timewo]

If your computer stops working or does not start when the button is pressed , do you replace it with a new computer or get it repaired from the local computer store after replacing the defective part ?

I do not know how to repair it. I have a technician friend. He is always checking my computer. He is an IT expert.

I love to replace mine it saves me money than when I repair. Some technicians do very poor jobs with repairs

If i fix it myself i don't replace it. If i have to get assistance from anybody else i sell it and replace the laptop with a brand new one.

That's good you can repair a computer and laptop. Maybe you are an IT graduate. I can only manipulate some but can not repair them. It may become worst.

I think it depend on on the level of damage done on the computer. If it's minor, it's better to repair and save some cost. If the damage is very big and it's affecting productivity, better to buy a new one.

Personally I prefer buying a new one cause one thing I have noticed with most gadgets is that once you start repairing them, they start getting more faults. But in cases I do not have the capital to buy a new one I can opt for repairs. I don't plan on repairing any of my gadgets soon though.

I do not have the power to fix any modern gadgets. I will ask somebody to do it for me.

If possible, repair. Do troubleshooting to find what's going wrong. At times, I'll look out for what needs to be replaced so it will work again.

I do not have the skills to fix a broken computer. I prefer to bring it to a professional for repairs.
