I think repairing it will have to wait until I get back to the US. The good news is that he refurbished this old desktop by replacing two parts and installed Windows 7. So far I could not be happier with it. Had I thought to do this before going to Miami I would not have bought another computer.<br />Tom<br />Chiclayo gringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827728983722207575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732769931105431591.post-60017486553572238122016-04-22T10:59:03.197-05:002016-04-22T10:59:03.197-05:00Bring it to the "Fiera Balta" o "Fi...Bring it to the "Fiera Balta" o "Fiera de Electrónica" (if you don't know where is that, got to the cathedral and ask from there). You can get this fixed for 50 soles or less. Stay there while they reinstall the software on your computer otherwise the risk is that they replace some part of the hardware.<br />There you can get virtually any software with no licence requirements.<br />You did well to buy your computer in Miami, but for the software I do think the best solution is the "Fiera Balta".<br />Best of luck.<br />MarcoMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09048638563634115397noreply@blogger.com
