Ask someone else if possible before using any service like this, and try and goto a recommended repairer but not pcworld :D, their experts may have played computer games all their life but ...
I may have been unemployed for 2 years but I wouldn't sink to that level, even if I am going slowly mad.

Someone I know took their lappy to PCWORLD with a corrupt win install and they wanted 100 quid to reinstall without backing up any of their data. So 100 quid for a format and install or probably just using the recovery partition. Joke.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

The price you pay for being cheerful and happy to help (plus most people blanch at the fees to engage me professionally - a half-bottle of vino and some banter seems a more 'affordable' choice)

Think about your friend who is a builder or plasterer, whatever. What would he do for you in his trade, as a mate, for free.
Generally, not a lot unless you're a really good mate and in real trouble. But he'd probably give you a very good service at a very fair rate.
Advice, for good friends is usually not charged. Very good friends get work done for "beers/wine/bottles of whisky etc." as appropriate, everyone else pays the going rate. It saves any arguments.

A Brian Adams concert was not my finest moment though - I think the guys had a point when they all refused to be an escort.
Actually, wasn't just the guys who refused, the women recognised the folly of the event too.
