Tecra A4: worth the cost of repair?

I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra A4 series. It was bought by my employer six or seven years, and then they gave me when I retired two years ago. But they don't give me the disks of software to the special version of Windows that is installed. The computer is now unusable, due to some issues which I am unable to fix it myself.

Simply get a fault diagnosis and prospects make it usable again cost more than negligible, and repairs, if I agree for them, will cost much more. Should put more money into this computer, or I'd do better to invest in a new laptop?

It's your own decision

But if the repair would cost around 200-$300 or more, I would recommend this unit sales (ebay?) and to buy another maybe a second hand that runs properly

  • Is a processor upgrade Optiplex 755 worth the cost and effort?

    I have a 755 core 2 duo 3 Ghz 1333 FSB running Windows 7.

    Is the cost and effort to upgrade the processor to a quad core is worthwhile, given the age of the computer?

    Would be a quad core overclocking more slowly or more slow FSB no improvement in speed over the 3 GHz Core 2.

    Looking at eBay and amazon Q9650 (3 GHz) runs around $100, the Q9550 (2.83 GHz) about $75.

    The slower Quad cores are $30 - $40, which I wouldn't mind if it makes a noticeable improvement.

    Not sure I want to put another $100 in there, unless it's a very big improvement.

    Thank you

    You should see an improvement in performance, but I don't know how. On average, what is your current CPU usage in Task Manager? If it is maxed out at 100%, a large part of the time, moving to a quad core should offer a significant improvement. If it is 50-60% most of the time, maybe it's not that big of an improvement. Here is a list of media UC the OptiPlex 755:

    3.00 GHz, Quad Core Yorkfield Q9650, 12MB
    Yorkfield 2.83 GHz Quad Core Q9550 12 MB, 1333 MHz FSB, E0
    2.66 GHz, Quad Core Yorkfield Q9400, 6Mo, 1333FSB, R0
    2.66 GHz, Quad Core Kentsfield Q6700, 8 MB, 1066FSB, G0

    The Q9650 both the Q9550 should work in your machine. I hope this helps!

    I live in South Africa and have one of the retina MacBook Pro 15 "(mid - 2012).  A message appeared recently advising "Condition: replace now."  We approached Apple in Cape Town (South Africa) providers and received two different answers on what needs to be repaired and what would be the cost.  First of all, we were told that battery and top case had to be replaced at a cost of 5268.00 South African Rand.  When you take the computer repair, told that the keyboard was also being replaced with the battery and the top box, and that the price had esculated to South African Rand 12600.00 (for the part or parts only).

    Could we inform you on what needs to be repaired/replaced in such a circumstance? And the planned price range should be for repairs/parts.

    Thank you!!!

  • Satellite A100-02 b: what cost to repair a motherboard?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-02 b
    The motherboard is faulty.
    What cost to repair?

    Hi mate

    I put t know exactly how it is, but the fact is that if the motherboard is dead then you will have to replace it.
    The motherboard is one of the mobile parts expensive (such as display) and for the new motherboard you would need about 300-350Euros.
    This mobo is not cheap, and you should consider the different possibilities... maybe a laptop second hand or the motherboard would be a better solution

    The problem with sorting, is that it is based on the COUNT (*) FUNCTION total_depts. Since it is an aggregate, value

    You can't have an index based on this value. Therefore, the cost will be higher for sorting on this column. You can

    move the first part of the clause to a with clause that could help. It's certainly worth a try.

    You should also allow each part of the query make each less expensive part, so all of the query will be cheaper to run.

  • How to deal with information coming from the disk utility - repair?

    I managed courses of recovery of disk space in my SSD. However, I don't know what to do about this:

    After recovering in the SSD space, I ran the option in DiskUtility 'fix' with these results:

    1 volume bitmap needs minor repairs for orphan blocks

    2 save file system exit code is 8

    3 operation was successful.

    I ran it again, the function of repair with these results:

    1 Macintosh volume has been found damaged and must be repaired

    2 save file system exit code is 8

    3 operation was successful.

    Hoping that the repair function had solved the problem, I ran it again with these results:

    1 volume bitmap needs minor repairs for orphan blocks

    2 save file system exit code is 8

    3 operation was successful.

    Thought that I needed to restart the device. After the re - start disk repair utility told me:

    1 volume bitmap needs minor repairs for orphan blocks

    Invalid 2 free block count

    (it should be 33309635 instead of 333008871)

    3 save file system exit code is 8

    3 operation was successful.

    What is my next step?

    Should I ignore this message?

    If this isn't the case, it must be repaired, and how do I do this?

    Is this something that would need to get a new drive?

    Thank you

    If you don't have a good backup make one now. Always keep your Mac backed up on an external drive with Time Machine or utility of cloning like SuperDuperordouble clone.

    Next step is to clear and re - format the hard drive and then restore your system from now the command option + R keys
