Does anyone know any good places that do laptop repairs in Osaka?
My laptop is a korean brand, which seems to be a big problem here. I have taken it into a few shops, in Big Camera and Den Den town, and they all say they cant fix it cause its Korean.
I also tried a guy who advertised in KFM, but he was completely unhelpful.
Any ideas?

maybe Tsuruhashi on the Loop Line.

My wife says Sofmap, which is in Umeda, Namba and Tennoji.
They have a website.

I have a Korean vacuum and I found I couldn`t get the right kind of bags for it.
I bought a Japanese washer since it will be easy to get it fixed if it breaks.
Korean washing machines are cheaper, though.

Remember that shipping via the local convenience store is also possible. It's like UPS service-- it'll run you about a thousand yen to ship your laptop anywhere in Japan, so don't be shy about sending your laptop to some non-Osaka place.

This is the guy whose laptop died when he first moved from Korea to Japan, right ? Machine begins to start up, then craps out, right ?

More details, please... it may be just a simple problem, easily fixed.

You'll have better luck with the liiittle computer repair places, by the way. They'll be more interested in experimenting with an unknown brand. Folks at DeoDeo and other large chains may be more interested in protecting their reputation & avoiding management's wrath. ("What ?! You promised to fix a PC we know nothing ABOUT ?")
