Laptop Repair in the Philippines

Let's visit an indoor market in the Philippines that has a whole floor dedicated to repairing your favorite gadgets!

For anyone curious. I was trying to shoot a review of a powerbank that can also charge laptops. The powerbank didn't have the right adapter for my laptop, so I made my own. But I stupidly trusted the markings on the cable without checking the polarity myself. So I ended up connecting the charger with reversed polarity and it busted the laptop.

I took the laptop to Greenhills Shopping Center and after diagnosing the damaged component(s), they looked through a few random motherboards and scavenged the part(s) to repair my laptop.

The repair cost P1300 (25 USD, 19 GBP) which seems a little high considering the actual cost of the component but you need to take into account the years of experience they have, the time and cost of sourcing various random parts and of that they need to earn a living.
