Memex is $50 an hour. Because the issue isn't well known this could be a $50 bill or $250 bill. Closest would be Edmonton for you I believe.

Another option is searching random forums/youtube about the issue and then trying to fix it yourself.

Last option is buying a new laptop that is 80-90% similar in specs, then taking your old HDD and placing it inside the new laptop (AFAIK, this doesn't void warranties in most laptops and I'm assuming a new install is useless to you). Swapping an HDD is easy. Even a person who has never once done this before can probably do this in about 60 minutes or less without damaging anything (You would end up opening two laptops, so the original one as practice and the newer one opening will go much easier).
