Can anyone direct me to a computer repair shop in Gangnam? Preferable in the south area of Gangnam (ie gangnam station, COEX, Daechi).

Im pretty sure I need Windows to be deleted and readded to my computer, but Id like to find someone who speaks a little English as this is the second time this has happened in only 3 months.

Thanks in advance!

If you can make it to Itaewon, Jonny Computer is a decent place to go. He speaks English. Located behind Hard Rock and down the road to the right. (Yes, I know it isn't in Gangnam)

How old is your computer? Can't do a system restore? My HP laptop lets me reload the entire operating system fresh without the CDs. Essentially puts it back to the way it came from the factory. Not sure how old your computer is but your may want to look around in help for system restore before you take it to the computer shop.

Maybe you know this already though.

Thanks for the tips guys. I know of a couple decent repair places in Itaewon, I was just hoping for something closer to home.

The problem with system restore is I think Windows has to actually open in order to do that. Right now my computer get stuck on the Windows page where the little blue bar just continually rolls across the page but never opens:(.

The computer is a little under 2 years old and usually works fine except for this problem which now seems to be reoccuring.

I'm not far from that area. If you want to trek down to Pyeongchon St. i'll fix it for you for far less than what a repair shop would charge you. Just get to Sadang St. and it's the 8th stop south of Sadang. I'll update everything for you and throw in SP3 plus all the other good programs you'll want to have.
