How to post more photos than the rules allow – use collages. You can combine several of your photos into a single collage photo by using this free (you need to provide email) online collage creation tool. It’s very easy to use, give it a try! https://www.fotor.com/create/collage/
Correcting flawed submissions: If you send an incorrect submission, or you forget to include the photos, please send in a new, full corrected submission and ask me to ignore the previous, incorrect submission. I am too busy to keep track of partial submissions in different emails and patch them together. Your cooperation is appreciated.

PLEASE READ!: If you use a non-Spanish phone number please type it exactly as it is dialled from Spain. I am getting complaints from readers who say some provided phone numbers are being submitted with a variety of country codes and are either missing, or have extra, digits. These are unreachable, so you are missing replies.

Recommendations
Recommendation For Doctorlaptop: My laptop is Windows in German. That was not a problem, he works in many languages. He explained what my repair would need and all my options. He saved my photos and scans and records when other repair shops said that was not possible. Nathan spent almost an hour with me whan I collected it, answering questions and explain how to keep laptop clean and safe. No extra charge. You will save money and time if you check with him first. Highly recommended! Nathans number is 675993069
