Good job kid! Make sure to share these stories with your parents too, maybe they have friends with broken laptops and you can fix them for small fee's, make some side cash out of your hobby!

They always go to geek squad and overpay![]()
Yeah that seems to be the case, most of the time. It's too bad that people will overpay for work with little effort/care.

Yup this guy in his 60s paid $300 for someone to set up his Mac with everythingI mean, thats $300 for half an hours work! I'd be more than happy to do the job for $10!
I suppose often they have no idea what's wrong and therefore no idea what needs to be done, so they'll pay no matter how much, just to get rid of the problem(s).
You are right. I have serviced other people's computers for free. I should not do that anymore, because it will give people the impression that I will always repair/service their computers for free.Just don't let them have you service their computers for free![]()
That is something that needs to go into consideration, and is a very good point.You gotta look at (it) differently. They're not paying you for your time, they're paying you to solve a problem. Factory workers get paid by the hour - knowledge workers get paid to solve problems (OK - that is a gross simplification, but it makes my point).
Hats off to those of you recycling and reusing old technology.
Wow there are actually a fair amount of 13/14 year olds here![]()
