What are my options regarding non-payment for services performed?

I fixed a laptop for a customer for an agreed upon price of $100 over 60 days ago and cannot seem to get paid for the service. I continue to have possession of the laptop, I know the customer needs it for school as her desktop is also needing fixed, but she continues to avoid my calls, texts, and emails. W have set up several times and places to meet for exchange and she either cancels or doesn’t even show up. What are my options at this point?
