#BikeNite A2: I spent exactly one day working (for pay) in a bike shop, #RecycleCycles in #Kitchener, a project run by #TheWorkingCentre where I'd just started work in the IT department. Bike Shop Day was part of the new job orientation. Lots of fun for a bike weenie: All the tools! All the parts! And professional expertise to help out when things go wrong. I have none of those in my basement.
I've volunteered there a few times since, just a few hours at a time.

#BikeNite A5: The LBS I go to now is Black Arrow Cycles https://www.blackarrowcycles.ca/
The owner, Jesse Robertson, used to run #RecycleCycles, a project of #TheWorkingCentre. I worked at TWC as a computer support tech, and part of the orientation was working in the bike shop for a day. Quite the treat for a computer guy who likes bikes!
I bought my bike (and my son's) at another LBS (before Black Arrow existed), largely because there was a display of new bikes outside.

Any idea what part of your laptop is dead?
A few years ago at a @kwlug swap meet someone brought in a "dead" laptop. The only thing wrong was a dead battery that was trying to charge, but pulling so much power the laptop wouldn't boot. I removed the battery and it ran just fine, and it was my daily computer for years.
It's possible #ComputerRecycling at #TheWorkingCentre has parts to fix it; if not, they have cheap (used) computers and laptops.
