Is your computer slow? Or not able to boot into Windows? Or maybe you hear an awful sound coming from the bottom of your laptop? Whatever your computer issue is, there is a million dollar question to answer: Is it worth fixing?
We’ve come up with the below computer issue list that IS worth fixing:
- Slow computer
- Bad hard drive
- Spyware, viruses, pop-ups, or spam
- E-mail isn’t working
- Internet is not working
- Bad laptop screen (laptop is 1-2 years old)
Below is a list including computer issues that ARE NOT worth fixing:
- Laptop motherboard has failed
- Bad laptop screen (laptop is 3+ years old)
- Hardware replacements on a computer that is 4+ years old
In the end, you have to determine how old your computer is and the cost of repair versus the time you have left on your computer. Further, if you have expensive or hard-to-find software on your computer, the age factor is out of the window (no pun intended) when requiring a computer repair. You wouldn’t want to replace your computer if you can’t run your precious software on it. Or paying the extra expense to re-install the software. Overall, you need to think about the age and investment of your computer, and most importantly, don’t think of your computer as a pet you can and want to keep for years. You’ll ultimately need to replace it since it will eventually fail.
