How many of you remember the picture above from the Compaq Presario I was working on recently?
I finished it and returned it to its owner to get the picture below. My $40 pay to repair it.
The laptop had a minor fan error. It had a good size piece of debris in it. And since it was my first working project and since it was my best friend's fiancee computer. I was not going to charge them the suggested price of about $110. Since laptops are so much harder to do and the parts are smaller and more expensive to get. Well my friend before paying me had the nerve to try and get out of paying me the full $40 by challenging me to a game of classic Mortal Kombat. The deal was going to be if he won he paid me $20 and my reply was if I won he paid me $60. All I wanted was my $40 and be on my way but nope was not going to be that easy. So after a few minutes and his fiancee scared that I would take the laptop and walk out she intervened and I got my $40. If the argument had continued I was going to take the laptop with me and straight to a pawn shop. I had done a factory reset anyway so all of her stuff was off of it.
I am proud of making my first $40 doing computer repair. I wish I could of framed those $20's but since I am having to commute for school they both got used for gas. So here is to the memory of those 20's.
