re: Laptop repair shop recommendations

I can't replace this laptop for 500 dollars even in the used market. It was well north of 1300 dollars when it first came out in 2022. A replacement is 1500 or so. Trust me, I already bought the replacement and paid around 1300. I just want to fix it to have it as a backup for my main machine or sell it for 600 or 700 dollars. Makes no sense to repair a board on your run of the mill laptop than runs windows and office but this is a high spec gaming laptop that I use for 4k video editing for work. Board repair is a "thing" in high end laptops where the repair is cheaper than the replacement. In my case I couldn't wait on the repair so I bought another but it would make sense to repair this one if it could be repaired for 300 maybe even 400. It's a pristine laptop and never had liquid spilled on it or abused in any way. It's a shorted board, 99% certain of that. These particular laptops are known for that. Before you say why would I buy a laptop that's known for having shorted boards, every laptop has an Achilles heel. These don't fail often but when they do, it's usually a board. Usually capacitors or mosfets on the power rail. I'm not a laptop repair guy but I know my way around a multimeter and can do minor repairs on these things but I don't have the access to the parts and equipment to repair it. Watch a youtube channel called NorthridgeFix and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I'm shipping my laptop out to them to repair it.
