Less that 24 Hours

The graphics card on my laptop had been acting up the past few weeks. Yesterday morning, it finally blacked out. I was seriously screwed. All my work data was unaccessible. I told some of the guys at the factory and they took me to a 4 story electronics mega mall. There, we found a repair shop. It was almost 8 pm. The guy said he would check it out and let me know today if he could fix it. Well, by noon, the guy had figured out the problem, replaced my graphics card and some micro chip that was bad. While my 6 month old Gateway's warranty may be expired, I'm back in business. This is one of the things that amazes me about China. While I can't drink the water out of the tap, I can have a problem (that in the states would force me to buy a new computer) fixed in less than a day for less than 100USD.
