How to find a real-life hardware guru to look at this blasted machine
by binkyd from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53FYY)
I have a Dell box that has been giving me fits all year.
I'm looking for an actual person to whom I can take this box for a thorough diagnosis.
Get this - I'm in Toronto Canada and I can't find a computer technician who knows anything about how Linux and hardware work together.
The box has passed every hardware test I can find, but none-the-less no OS works for more than a couple of days without developing strange issues.
Does anybody out there know of someone in my area who can help?
I'm ready to strip it for parts and start again.
