so i get back in touch with an ex of mine, which is nice, and i hear that one of her friends blames me for the breaking of their laptop, when i didnt do anything to damage it beyond repair that they say i did, what really gets me though is that the mother wants to try and send me a "certified letter" saying i owe her son a new laptop. yea thanks, now i just got something to officially wipe my arse with.
i just had to rant this, cause im rlly annoyed with this at the moment, but heres what i wana ask all of you,
would you do this:
1. scrounge up the money and buy them a craigslist laptop?
2. ignore this completley.
3. Tell them off saying you owe them nothing.
4. offer to fix it for free.
5. offer to charge it for a jumped up price. {-- this is what im thinking of doing.

I think I would just walk away from it. Let me ask you this: is your repair business a real business as in a corporation and you pay taxes? Personally I don't care but if you go and bill her she could end up making your life a living hell. Dealing with a crazy lady is one thing dealing with the gov who wants to get their money for you running a business, the lic. fees, the taxes then on top of that they will hit you with penalties. Sometimes its just not worth it. Chalk it up and tell your friend to go scratch and find some new buddies to hang out with.
hmmm put like that, mite b a good idea, she is a crazy lady, but i culd always say im sellin my services, not running a biz, but idk, im still contemplating on it,

I thnk you should bill her and then add a extra line on the bill "annoying me 100$". After reading sm's comment maybe she is right but still I would find some way to screw her.
i am just really upset with all this because i know i did not damage this laptop, it fell from a 1 foot drop, it was not on, running, plugged in, and it was in a bookbag,
if a laptop can suffer inoperable damage from a 1 foot drop then i will fully respect that and pay for it, but i know this is not the case, (if you want the whole story on the laptop thing then email me because to explaion the story is a whole nother forum) i dropped it from a 1 foot height and i know that did not damage it, ive purposly dropped laptops (my own) to test physical damage that it can take, ive dropped laptops from my won highet (6ft) and they came out ok sides a few popped keys,
but i do plan on getting her someway, like take the laptop, make a verbal agreement of no cost, then shoot her an invoice for like 210, and tell her per the agreement on the website (which ill throw in after getting the laptop) that if payment is not made prior to repair than computer is held until full payment is made,

Ya know Neibr its hard to say with a drop - did you check it after if fell? Either way let me ask you this, is the fight worth your friendship with this guy? Sometimes you just have to walk away as aggravation as it is. In my business I find the same thing. I mean look how much aggravation she has already caused you. I know that you need the money but do you need the aggravation? You can't take her laptop and tell her no charge then charge her and not give it back - that would be stealing and she can call the police. If the police see that you are operating with no lic you will loose. They will make you give the laptop back and tell you to file in civil court.
I would ignore it completely. If shes that serious in making you pay let her take you to court and duke it out there. Chances are she would lose, theres no proof that you damaged it beyond repair, and thats what she would have to do in order to win.
Edit: If she sends you a certified letter don't accept it.
no SM i was not able to check it for damage afterwards, so how do i know if they didn do it to try and spike me for a new laptop? this is what aggrivates me.
but after hearing all of you, ima be honest about this and ima just tell her, either she can pay for any repairs the laptop needs, or shes 
out of luck,
why should i not accept the certified letter?

I'd tell her where to go, then offer to fix it. If she refuses, then I would say you don't owe her a d@mn thing.
