i knew itd happen one day... so what are my options...

laptop is 4 years old, cost $249, lasted 10 months of deployment.

It would also overheat and do a thermal shudown if i didnt have it on a cooling pad, battery would hold more than a 30min charge either.

2 weeks ago i bought a new laptop and its waiting for me in NJ when i get home.
All my pic and doc files on the laptop i already transferred to an external HD last week.
Only special programs i had on it were HPtuners, which i still have the cd at home somewhere, so ill just put it on the new laptop, i even think i backed up the tune files.

basically is this old one fixable with the BSOD? or do i just call it a day and trash it? I wouldnt mind having it as a dedicated tuning laptop though.

Can anyone here fix it up for me if i send it to them around christmas time?
