Chochi

We had to get it fixed because it had my fiancee's near-finished thesis on it. So we brought it to a pro. It took him 2 hours but he said it was a fairly common problem too. It was about 60 bucks to fix here in Poland. I don't know if that's cheap because everything's cheap here, or expensive because it's a specialist job but that's what we paid. Best of luck, and hopefully someone will figure out a simple solution one day.
