My son found the Apple guy in Telford because the place he'd taken it to in Birmingham made the problem worse than before! Good luck.

I got the hard drive in my laptop replaced by this company recently and found them very helpful with quote provided before undertaking the work. They are in the parade shopping centre in Shrewsbury - the old infirmary for older Shrewsbury residents www.saloptechnology.co.ukThe cafe in the parade is nice too with good views onto the old Gay Meadow site

Thank you for all the suggestions ladies and gents! (Other genders are available)
It seems to be playing ball ...for now! But those suggestions are appreciated.
Can't believe I forgot about your place, Mike! Should I encounter further issues, I'll drop by.

I have used Salop Technology extensively with work over the years and highly recommended.
And the good news is now Mike has moved out to the sticks with his new business you don't have to risk losing half an hour putting the salop world to rights every time you go in there now!

Mine does that, think my new, non original equipment, battery is not quite compatible, though when fully charged the battery lasts for 4 or 5 hours. But, all I have to do to get it to charge is switch it off, remove and replace the battery and it charges, so I'll live with it.

Off topic, there was a chap on the Today programme this morning who had lost his career in financial services at 57 and couldn't get a similar job. Said one of things he had had a go at was 3 months as a postman - said it was the hardest work for the lowest pay he had ever done. So thanks to all you postal workers for your endeavor.
