Don:

AR suffix means Argentina.....check the news about here, if you want....,
but I *DO* not recommend it....

I think that the $75 price is HIGH for a typical monitor repair....

look for a cheaper price , and move from there! ;-)

Sergio

I don't know where FI.UBA.AR is but I must assume that
labor is a lot cheaper than it is in Minneapolis.  I would
expect a charge of about $75.00 to walk thru the doorway
of a repair shop.  Anything extra would be just that - extra.
