I messed up my original question. I didn't mean pay as in "get someone to fix it and pay them", but as in "compensate her for the stupid thing I did". I wanted to give her $200 for the trouble I caused, even though, again, I don't think it was my fault (knowing her, I think she probably tried to fix it herself or had a female friend try that, moved it elsewhere and it felt or some shit, and killed it). I feel really bad when I remember what happened, in particular the fact that she needed the laptop at the time (even though she had previously told me that she was NOT in a hurry... she's a dumbass)
also, she wasn't a long term friend. we had met only a few months earlier through Tinder. that's what caused the confusion in the first place...
