| Yeah motherboards can really burn out and its expensive to replace them. Hell, I've had motherboards go after 2 years. So be thankful. A new mother board will run you nearly the price of a new laptop (low end). And odds are that low end laptop will be faster than the 4 year old sucker you're trying to fix. |

Pop out the HDD and put it in an external case (I assume you want to save your data).
Throw the rest away. Get a new computer.
New desktop systems can be had for about 400k (monitor included) and entry/mid level laptops for about twice that (~800k). |

Fly to Bangkok.
Go to Area 52 at Panthip Plaze.
Give them your notebook and come back in 2 days. If it can be fixed they will fix it.
If it's fucked then they won't charge you anything.
You get a holiday to Thailand out of it as well. |

formatted it a few days ago, so nothing lost.
Ill probably go looking to see whats new these days. THe last time I bought a laptop; centrino's were the new things on the market.
So, whats the new thing that are a necessity for laptops these days?
Asus EEE PC
it should arrive in korea for the new year.
Estimated price is between 200-300,000 won.
why the delay?
1) Not enough machines to fill the demand
2) they are changing the keyboard to allow korean characters. |
