Well since I don't have 150 dollars for a tuneup from the shop. I have a ASE friend coming over that will do it for 80 bucks, and the parts he will pay for, I just am going to give him my 8 year old laptop in exchange for the service. WHat do you all think? It is a Pentium 4 M And A dell inspiron. And I out of my mind? The laptop isnt worth much more then 60 dollars anyway. But he is the only one who took me up on the deal. Right now my car is more important to me then this laptop since I have another computer. Thanks for your advise

What does a "tune up" get you?

A great question.

@Stinger, It's always rewarding to learn to do it yourself. If all he does is change your oil and filters i'd call him and tell him to hit the highway. You can find step by step info here XD
 






well I finially snapped out of it. I still have the latop. I called my friend who is a ASE mechanic, he came over and did the tune up and I payed him 50 bucks for his time and effort. It took him well over 2 hours to complete, especiall that trickey plug #6
