Yeah, the dude at Data Doctors that called-back focused on the age of the machine and never did tell me if they could do the work. Maybe if I take it in they can tell me before I pay their $60 diagnostic fee? My next machine is going to be a desktop which is why I maxed-out the RAM and installed an SSD last year so, yes, it is an aged laptop but it's otherwise in good condition and I'm holding onto it for now.
