Lol, I don't think Tintronics would want to help me get my laptop going, and if they did I could get a new laptop cheaper. I'm hoping to find someone with the equipment in their home shop that I can take stuff to when I need to without waiting 2 weeks and paying extra for shipping. Of course I'm willing to pay them though.
I'm sure I could find someone in Huntsville but was hoping to find someone in the Birmingham area.
With all the problems I've been seeing with lead free solder lately I'm almost tempted to buy the equipment myself. I just don't think it would get enough use by myself to justify it. I mainly do repairs for friends and family for free.
