Unless you know a professional PC technician well enough that he or she would be willing to arrange your free computer, probably will need to pay out of pocket for the repair of his team.
Now we all probably know someone who basically on computers that have some knowledge of computers, something like a car backyard mechanic, but sometimes get what you've paid.
How far can you get a truly free computer repair?
Guarantees
More team guarantees last exactly 1 year. Of course team probably failed just after the warranty has expired. Anyway, always have a problem that you believe may be covered under the warranty, call immediately and open a case. At least you will get the date of the decision of registration. Even if the warranty expired the next day, you should be covered because he reported the problem before the warranty has expired. I can not tell you how many times I have heard a customer complaining that your warranty expired.
In addition, even if you think that it is already out of warranty, it does not hurt call the provider team anyway. There are occasionally remembers that it could cover the problem. Know of a huge problem motherboard Hewlett Packard had with dv9000 HP Pavilion dv2000 and dv6000 notebook series, where extended warranty by year "1" for certain problems in what they called the "limited warranty enhancement program". Many people lost because they didn't know about the extension. Only assumed its warranty was expired and they were on their own, so give them a call anyway.
A note about guarantees, usually does not cover software problems such as infections of viruses and spyware. Most "could" do you is that perform a system recovery, which could end with their data, so be careful.
Insurance
While not technically free if you pay the premiums, some people are not aware that their tenant or home owner insurance "could" cover repairs of equipment. Check your policy or call your agent to find out.
The energy company
Here in Hawaii, we sometimes have power outages or power unstable from time to time. I am well aware that if his team fails he cause of a problem of food that the energy company liable, may present a claim and having them to pay for the repair of his team.
Suppliers of uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
I always recommend using a UPS no matter what happens. A protector against overvoltage is not enough. Anyway, I know that in the past, at least one company of UPS I know would pay for repair if their teams do not protect your computer from a problem of food. Of course, its situation had to comply with certain conditions, but who were willing to put their money where their mouth is if you follow their guidelines.
Community colleges and vocational it training schools
A large part of the same formation involves practice time. Some universities have programs where can be repaired for free consumer equipment so that students can obtain some practical experience of the real world. About turn, the time is slow and you basically have an agreement let the team become a Guinea pig for the students, although it will work under professional supervision.
Small independent computer shops
This may require a trade of some kind, but could allow him to keep their money in cash. If you have 2 broken equipment, and are willing to part with one of them, a store could take it in trade for repair if you see any value in it. If he believes that he can repair one is giving and you can sell it for sufficient profit cover work for the fixation of both teams, he could agree take the repair of equipment and equipment with non from out-of-pocket expenditures of TI.
Also, if they have been doing business with a local computer shop and have a good relationship with them, could be willing to assist you by phone or in store for simple problems. What might seem a difficult problem could be very simple remedy a Pro, and could not charge you for it if it takes only a few minutes to correct.
Barter
This method of business is as old as civilization itself. If you have a marketable service or skill, could lead to trade in services in obtaining the repaired equipment with no out of pocket, except their own time and experience spending.
Internet forums
To use an internet forum, the team has to work it sufficiently well and still access internet. If it isn't, you need to have access to another computer that you can use to communicate with the Forum.
There are many, many internet forums with very patient people to guide him in his free team. Usually performed from the Web site of the Forum in text format. Most of these forums require you to register a free account.
Sometimes, the threads of the Forum could have already addressed the problem and all you have to do is read the thread and apply the correction to the computer. Otherwise, will begin a conversation of e-mail with a technician who volunteers his time to help people with their computer problems. Be nice to them.
Repair of your computer through a forum may take many sessions that could last hours or days depending on computer literacy, what software tools you have access to and their schedules. That does not end in a single session, you can pick-up and continue in another session later en
Microsoft and its Internet service provider
If your problem is internet related, you might get some support toll-free from your ISP, but not much expected once they believe that the problem can be really the team and not his team.
Most of the time, when you call Microsoft, probably want to charge you for your help, but there are available free assistance from Microsoft, depending on the problem.
Contests and coupons
You will need to keep eyes and ears open for these deals, but I can assure you that there are.
