To return to the original topic of this thread:

I had a computer problem this morning, a loud humming noise upon turning on my laptop. It turned out to need a new fan. The fan was only $40, but the labor to install the fan was $112.50. 😱

Oh well, at least my laptop is working quietly again. 😀 😛

Glad its working again. Luckily fan are fairly easy to repair.

Yes, it should be simple to replace a fan. The $112.50 that they charged for labor is a claim that it took them 90 minutes to replace the fan. I doubt it, but they do have to pay the rent on a storefront just off Columbus Avenue (a gentrified location).
