dead laptop?

[nvektus]

My old laptop just died, anybody knows where I can get it fixed than sending it back to the manufacturer? It's an old dell with 700 p3... I have some schoolwork that I saved in it too

What symptoms? Does it power on at all?

Depends on what the problem is. Does it post?

I plugged it in and nothing happens.. they're might have been a little short circuit (spark) when it died

You can still get the data off it. You just need to get a notebook ide to normal ide adapter. You can get one at various places including coputer geeks.

I really don't care about the data, I wanna get it fixed though

You sure it's not under warranty still? Lots of Dell's came with a 3 year warranty. Sounds like a power problem. Do you have another power adapter you can try?
