You sent him a damaged laptop and he charged you and sent you back a non-functioning laptop. He’s being a piece of shit. It doesn’t matter how or why the laptop is damaged, if he claims he can fix it and charged you money and didn’t do a good job that’s on him.
Piece of shit him and all the braindeads in the comments.
You paid for a job, whatever the damage, his job is to fix it and charge you for the things he successfully repaired, or charge you only for the labor time. There is no discussion on this.

Brain dead does not even describe the comment section, I would describe them as brainless.
You should’ve posted here first and waited until one of his fans or mods told him about it, posting directly to people that are his fans already was a losers bet to begin with. Like they say it’s easier to dupe someone than to convince someone they’ve been duped. Sorry about your laptop.
No excuses for a bad job. Your job is to fix it and charge accordingly. If the antenna isn’t fixed, charge him less. Seems like you didn’t do that.

Thank you. I felt like I was going crazy reading his comments. I almost started wondering if I was in the wrong.

If you want to try flashing the stock BIOS, contact me, I know how to do it and the programmer costs just 12 euros. I can help you for free.
@Skyler
Have you tried resetting the embedded controller? Hold the power button for 45 seconds.
Sounds like he did a poor job. If he was unable or didn’t want to fix the Wi-Fi, he should have at least told you. Computer repairers are a mixed bag. Unless it requires soldering, it’s often easier to fix things yourself.
F**k that guy.
Did you try setting the display mode to ‘Dynamic’ in the BIOS? Also, do a hard reset by holding the power button for 40 seconds.
You can hardware program the BIOS for under $50 with a crocodile clamp. Bad BIOS rarely causes persistent problems.

Even cheaper with a CH341A and the clamp it came with.
If they can’t provide the service, they shouldn’t charge. Simple as that. Repair shops often charge fees just to diagnose, and it’s unprofessional to charge for work they can’t do.
This is an unfortunate outcome. He should not have charged you $370 for a repair that didn’t even work. Don’t expect a resolution from him.
Why does everyone think the owner is at fault if a BIOS update goes wrong? It happens to HP laptops too, and they refused to fix it under warranty.
If this is all true, you should post pictures. He likely has video evidence if it’s all on the up and up.
Stop reading those comments. People can be very harsh online, and it can feel intense. Turn off notifications if it’s bothering you.
Sounds like he’s a moron. Just rude people justifying his actions instead of helping someone.
