    Hi guys i'm having a slight bit of trouble with my laptop. Its a compaq presario v5000, the problem is my laptop frezzes sometimes, but if i put pressure just above the touchpad area it works and if i release pressure it frezzees again. I'm going to bring it to get it fixed its not that old, its just i dont want to get ripped off, any questions or suggestions welcome.

    Thanks in advance

    Most probably a loose connection between the touchpad or keyboard.

    That reminds me of my old Dell Latitude CPx. It would not work until I pressed the D, F and G keys together. This pushed the CPU back into the slot. Oh fond memories.

    What sort of money are my looking at to get it repaired, and can anyone recommend anywhere that fixes laptops without getting ripped off.
