I have 2 sick HP laptops - can anyone recommend a reliable laptop repair place/person around JHB/Midrand/Pretoria areas?

OH I also have a sick HP laser printer....if they do both cool, if not, any ideas where to take my sick printer to?

I did try HP on the printer but it will be cheaper to buy a new one than use their quote, so I decided not to even try them re the laptops.

Sigh, oh reading the above I should probably avoide HP products in the future...
 
the one just occasionally switches off and sometimes starts and sometimes doesn’t - if you bang it moora hard by the on button it usually wakes it up - according to google search its a fracture on some chippie thingy inside.

the other one also has issues either loose wire somewhere or also fractured chippie issue but sometimes certain keys on the keyboard stop working - and if you lift the laptop slightly on the left they work fine and then will just work for a while and then it starts up again - and then it wont recognise the USB ports which i think from everything I tried is a hardware issue and not software - they were working fine until a few weeks ago


the laser printer, even though you didn’t ask, brings up i think it was error code 55 which the manual says to switch on and retry and if the error comes back to contact HP which I did....
 
What models are they, and how old. Perhaps they not worth fixing. I have a number here of a guy who fixes printers. Very good, and reasonably priced.

nc6000 about 3 years old, but yeh, may not be worth fixing, or I can take them apart and glue them together and maybe get one decent one out of the two and one for spares - anyhow they both are kinda working but would prefer to get rid of the quirks

do share the printer repair number, thanks
