    shady hardware swap


    I recently bought a Lenovo idea pad laptop. immediately after I lost the charging cord.
    I took laptop to a small tech shop to get a cord. the guy plugged in 3 or 4 cords announced that my chaging port was bad and tht he would change it no charge.30 minute later he was still inside my laptop which was mysteriously rest to factory when he gave it back. I believe he may have swapped some hardware rather than replce the charging port. anyone know how I can tell without serial numbers ?

    :)
