<p>My Dell laptop broke down right now, and Im totally screwed for the next two weeks (possibly more) without it. fmlfml</p>
<p>Where can I get tech support for this at USC or around the vicinity?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>um maybe try the people in the basement of the bookstore? I haven’t ever used it, but it looks like they have a service-type desk down there.</p>
<p>yeah lolz they dont have data recovery though</p>
<p>How did it brake? Laptop die on you or did the hard drive crash?</p>
<p>You could get a hard drive -> usb adapter off of tigerdirect or newegg and just plug the hard drive in as an external usb drive to a different computer (friend’s laptop or a desktop if you have one).</p>
<p>Fry’s would have one of those adapters in stock too.</p>
<p>Son’s Apple laptop broke and he gave it to the bookstore.</p>

I tried that - opening my computer and getting the hard drive, still isnt recognized by windows, mac, or linux systems. Its a solid state, which is supposed to be reliable but ****. Dell is sending a new one tho, I guess I should ask geeksquad or sumn to recover my data</p>
