So I bought this Dell Studio laptop from Best Buy in like November 2008. I just had enough for the laptop so I didn't get any warranty or anything
. I thought I'd be real careful with it, but I ended up dropping itfrom my desk onto my wood floor. It ran absolutely perfectly before that...never slowed down/froze or anything. Ever since I dropped it though it startedfreezing up at times. It'll work good like it used to for a while, but then completely slow down and freeze if I'm using Internet Explorer orsomething. I've noticed that it doesn't happen to Firefox as often, but it'll happen with other programs too (Microsoft Word, etc.). Latelysomething's been popping up saying Windows has detected a hard disk error. It tells me to backup my data and repair/replace it or I might lose everythingon my computer. I'm waiting until my roommate brings back his external hard drive. Does anyone know how to repair it? How much would it cost to get fixedor can I do it on my own? Here's what I know about the computer:
Dell Studio (Inspiron 1535), Intel (R) Core (TM) Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz, 4.00 MB RAM, 64-bit Operating System, 320 GB Hard Drive.
I'm not too computer literate, but help me out if you can. Thanks.
Cliff Notes:
-Bought laptop around Nov. 2008 w/ no warranty
-Ran perfectly
-Dropped it
-Now it doesn't work perfectly
-Windows says there is a hard disk error. Backup data and repair/replace.
-How/What do I do and how much does it cost?
