Hugs also!!! Totally relate .... I refer to my computer & EHDs as my baby's. But I also can't believe they charge so much for repairing!! You are located in Asia as well right?? Is there no electronic market at your place?
That's awful that you'd have to pay that much just to get it fixed My EHD broke last year with all my pictures from 3 years that I hadn't backed up I was so gutted but at least I could still use the PC!! Hope you find a solution to your problem!!
OH NO!!!! Hugs to you! I can't imagine. I use my computer so much. Hope you're able to to something about it soon.
