Repair4Laptop Now Offers Unique Free Laptop Repair and Upgrading Service












Berlin (PRWEB) January 7, 2009

For the first time anywhere, Repair4Laptop (http://repair4laptop.org/)] is offering notebook computer users everywhere a valuable service free of charge. Send them a problem notebook computer and they will fix it. Their comprehensive online collection of guides for laptop repair, upgrades, cleaning and modding already constitute the biggest repository of notebook computer repair information on the Internet. But they want to make their collection even bigger and compile additional information to create even more laptop repair guides covering different computer makers, models, or different repair techniques.

“Give your broken laptop or notebook to us, we will fix it for free,” said Werner Heuser of Repair4Laptop. “If the repair requires parts, you can either provide them to us or let us purchase them. You won’t pay for the repair, only the cost of new parts.”

So if a computer needs a new LCD, users pay only the cost of a replacement screen, not the cost to put it in. If no parts and components are needed, for example, if all that is needed is a thorough laptop cleaning, the service is completely free.

Do-it-yourself laptop and notebook repair can be helpful, especially if professional service is expensive or too time consuming. Even if repair companies offer one day shipping, the entire process from the time people send in their laptop to the time they get the computer back will take at least three days. In other cases, people might not want to reveal precious personal data on the hard disk. In that case, users are on their own if something goes wrong.

A common way to make mobile computers last longer or meet current standards is to upgrade the memory and add a bigger hard disk drive. “Often this is an easy task, which does not require expert knowledge,” said Heuser. “But as laptops become smaller, even simple notebook computer upgrades require knowing some tips and tricks to get the case open and the job done without breaking something.”

Almost no laptop or notebook manufacturers provide free service manuals. Here the free do-it-yourself tutorials provided at Repair4Laptop come in handy. These guides are helpful for both newbies as well as professionals and experts.

Repair4Laptop’s free notebook computer repair service is very useful in a range of situations. Sometimes users need comprehensive notebook cleaning if, for example, they spill liquid onto the computer. Another example is the cleaning of a laptop or notebook fan. Bins of dust blocking the fan are one of the most common causes of overheating and laptop failure. But reaching the fan for cleaning can be difficult for a non-techie.

About Repair4Laptop

Repair4Laptop has been running since March 2005. It contains a wealth of good information on laptop and notebook repair as well as fixing and upgrading components, parts and accessories. To see the breadth of information currently available, go to the Repair4Laptop web directory. “If you feel that Repair4Laptop is truly of use please submit repair guides, bookmark it, check back often for updates, and most of all, use it,” said Heuser.

SLAPPA Launches New Australia Website – http://www.slappa.com.au











Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) February 4, 2010

Total Impact Industrial, maker of SLAPPA CD and DVD storage cases, laptop bags, backpacks and DJ storage cases and bags, today announced it has signed an agreement with Peninsula Software to distribute SLAPPA in Australia and New Zealand. As part of the agreement, SLAPPA has launched its local Australian based website http://www.slappa.com.au. The new website gives ANZ based customers access to all SLAPPA products and provides them with fast shipping from a local distribution center and local SLAPPA customer service. The company notes that this site will also dramatically reduce, for ANZ customers, the cost to obtain SLAPPA products.

“Australia has been one of SLAPPA’s best markets since the brand was launched, so I’m thrilled to now have here a dedicated website and distribution center,” exclaimed SLAPPA President Dominick Martinetti. “Australia remains a very strong DJ market, and our CD cases and laptop bags have always done well down under. We love what we see on the horizon.”

SLAPPA was first launched in Australia in 2004, and it’s award winning HardBody CD cases and DVD cases were carried by a number of independent music retailers as well as by large chain retailer Sanity. “Now that we have a local distribution center, we can provide much more to our reselling partners,” Martinetti added. “With our newer laptop cases and backpacks, and our ladies line of laptop sleeves and laptop purses, we have so much more to now offer to Aussies.”

To date, SLAPPA’s U.S. web store has more than 2000 ANZ customers despite high international shipping rates, and expects that number to grow exponentially over the next 12 months.

“SLAPPA is obviously uniquely positioned and regarded by many as the best quality CD cases in the market, and now local DJ’s will have access to the entire SLAPPA range” explained Richard Milligan, Managing Director of Peninsula Software. “In addition to having the best CD cases and DVD cases I’ve ever seen, I’m extremely impressed with their laptop bags, backpacks and laptop sleeves. Having surveyed the local market, I’m very confident that we now represent the best quality cases and bags for digital product storage and protection. We see this as an excellent opportunity to grow a great brand in a society that is full of savvy, active and creative people. We expect this is going to be a great ride.”

The Australia website will offer SLAPPA’s recently launched women’s laptop bags that include the plush Bally-Hide laptop bags, and the new collection of Womens laptop purses, ideal for working women. Also included are SLAPPA’s newest range of gamer cases for the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS, which feature custom artist work and distinct graphics which offer ultimate protection and great looks.

SLAPPA.com.au is SLAPPA’s fourth international e-commerce store, along with http://www.slappa.com, http://www.slappa.ca, and http://www.slappa.co.uk.

“Our next target site is for the Japan market,” mentioned Martinetti. “We get very many inquiries from Japanese customers for our laptop bags and backpacks, our DJ products and our gamer cases, so we expect once we launch a Japan site it will be very well received”.

For the month of February SLAPPA is offering customers an additional 10% off with the code SLAPPAAU.

Mesothelioma Law Firm Supports Upcoming Release of Hot Coffee











(PRWEB) August 23, 2011

Clapper, Patti, Schweizer and Mason is a law firm that has been representing clients suffering from mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure for over 30 years. CPSM is committed to making sure their clients have a fair chance to receive justice through the legal system. The attorneys at CPSM are dedicated to fighting for the rights of those who have been injured due to the negligence and misconduct of large asbestos manufacturers and distributors.

In light of this, CPSM fully supports the soon to be released DVD of Hot Coffee, a documentary feature film by Susan Saladoff.    Both Saladoff and CPSM are committed to making sure people have fair “access to the court system, the one and only place where an average citizen can go toe to toe with those with money and power and still have a shot at justice.” (Hot Coffee)

In Saladoff’s documentary feature film, the director challenges viewers to think about the civil justice system and people’s ability to get justice through access to the courts. She exposes how campaigns led by the media, government, and ‘big money’ work to create limitations and insurmountable challenges for the average Joe to seek redress through the legal system when wrongfully injured at the hands of corporate America.

Hot Coffee, now airing on HBO Summer Documentary Series with DVD’s available for purchase starting November 1, 2011, highlights the infamous story of Stella Liebeck, the elderly woman from Albuquerque who was severely burned when a cup of McDonald’s coffee spilled in her lap. She was then awarded 2.86 million in punitive damages, an award that was mocked publicly by big business and media globally in efforts to portray that tort reform was needed to avoid such “frivolous lawsuits” from occurring.    

What many don’t know is that from the beginning, Stella was only asking McDonald’s to pay the difference between her medical costs and what was not covered by her Medi-Cal insurance. McDonald’s refused. According to legal records from the Lectric Law Library, Stella’s was unable to cover her medical expenses on her annual income as a sales clerk of only $ 5000, so she sought to settle a claim with McDonald’s for $ 20,000. Stella was 79 years old at the time, and the 3rd degree burns were so severe that it required skin grafting to over 6% of her body and additional treatments. When McDonald’s refused to pay, Stella filed a product liability lawsuit (Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants, P.T.S., Inc., No. D-202 CV-93-02419, 1995 WL 360309 (Bernalillo County, N.M. Dist. Ct. August 18, 1994)) claiming that the coffee presented an unreasonable risk of injury.

Although McDonalds tried to argue otherwise, the facts showed that prior to Stella’s incident there were over 700 previous burn cases reported to McDonalds over a ten year period- clearly showing that the franchise was well aware of the danger of their coffee temperatures. McDonalds had a policy to sell their coffee at a minimum of 185 degrees (hot enough to cause serious burns in seconds.) McDonalds argued that they had strengthened their coffee cups and put a warning on them and that they should not be held responsible if burns were caused by external forces. The jury, however, found that McDonald’s was 80% at fault and awarded Stella $ 160,000 for her injuries and an additional $ 2.7 million in punitive damages. This judgment was later purported to be reduced to $ 480,000 by the trial court, although the final settlement remains undisclosed to the public.

This case, and all the press about “frivolous lawsuits”, is very similar to the bad, inaccurate press that occurs when large settlements for mesothelioma lawsuits are awarded. Like in the case with McDonalds, asbestos companies knew of the dangers of exposure to asbestos from as early as the 1930′s and yet failed to give adequate, if any, protection, warning or training to those most at risk (http://www.ewg.org/sites/asbestos/facts/fact3.php). Many of those exposed were hard workers, loyal employees, and military servicemen who later developed fatal asbestos cancer. Like Stella, they had no way of knowing the risk they were taking. And many, in their later years in life, die from a disease that could have easily been prevented.

Clapper, Patti, Schweizer and Mason (CPSM) has dedicated more than 30 years to taking on the largest, most powerful corporations and manufacturers who knew that exposure to asbestos caused serious injuries and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. CPSM has compiled massive evidence that shows that not only did asbestos manufacturers and large companies fail to provide warning or protection, they deliberately concealed the fact that asbestos kills from workers and the public.

Now CPSM supports the fall release of Hot Coffee and all endeavors by director Saladoff. Join CPSM in voicing your opinion against restricting liability for corporations that cause harm and death due to negligence. To learn more about the issues at stake, purchase a DVD of Hot Coffee and stay informed of any actions you can take to protect the individual’s right to justice through access to the courts.
