re: Laptop repair shop recommendations

It's an i7 12th gen I believe. It's a 1300 dollar laptop at least it was new. I've studied the problem enough that I'm relatively sure it's a shorted board. Asus laptops are kind of known for that apparently. I've found several repair outfits that specialize in board repair but they are out of town. I'd have to mail the thing out. It's a pretty high spec gaming laptop although gaming isn't my thing. I use the machines for video editing. Just happens that gaming laptops have the specs to do high end video editing.
