[conspire] linux computer repair in san francisco?

[Tony Godshall]

I've had good luck with Tech Collective in the Mission

http://www.yelp.com/biz/techcollective-san-francisco

Of course, I always remove the hard drive when I send a computer in
for repairs, so the OS is never an issue

And, like Rick says, boot from a LiveCD (acutal CD or stick).  If it
works fine after booting off the stick, it's not the main hardware.
Might be a good time to upgrade the hard drive, give it a fresh OS
install, and xfer the data files- see Rick's recently referenced
excellent documentation the subject.
