A few weeks out from getting it back, and the machine is working great. Thanks a bunch, Miles :)

When I came to CTRL+shift, my poor liquid-damaged laptop had been examined by two other repair stores, both of which had insisted that the damage was beyond fixing.

Months have passed since the repairs, with no additional issues surfacing. Furthermore, because the repair process took longer and was more complicated than the initial CTRL-shift estimate (bearing in mind that my own estimate had been "it's impossible"), I was given a sizable discount.... read full review
