Apr 13, 2010 - lol even people who dont know shit about computers can tel that the harddrive is missing a cable and it's easy to spot the unplugged cable they just want you to buy new hardware from them

May 4, 2010 - @lcvd1 broken CPU? wow thats sad out of all the parts of a computer the CPU is usually the last thing to break thats why Intel and AMD stick by there warranties well since the CPU really never fails, i love how i was forced to pay $29 at checkout once for my computer since it had been geek squad tested or some other bullshit, it's pathetic.

May 6, 2010 - @GenerationXT I doubt that they suspected anything, true they normally do not fall off, but can be knocked loose over time due to people going into the other case to work on other things in the case. Sometimes they can be partially plugged in and work intermittently. I too have charged little or nothing for some repairs, the customer will appreciate your honesty and fairness and they will return, and word of mouth will get you many new customers and you will be repaid many times over.

May 6, 2010 - @troy2000me Well I suspect this is the deal, the western digital drives need to have the jumper OFF when its a master without a slave present, which is the opposite of most other hard drive brands. On some mainboards with not work if you have the jumper with no slave, others it will when using a wd drive. Now he might have removed the jumper off master (which would be correct), or put it on master (which would be incorrect for a stand alone wd drive but correct for most any other brand).

Jun 14, 2010 - The sad part is you couldn't even trust the small business guy. I expected the Best Buy, and Circuit City prices, but thought the shop owner would have done it for $20 bucks.

Jun 23, 2010 - Big time fail, I used to work for them but was fired for cursing after I implied to the GM that no one there is trained as the geek squad web site says they should be.
Exarian Says:
Jun 24, 2010 - geez. I just applied to geek squad. hopefully I can be an honest one.
Jveach5 Says:
Jun 24, 2010 - I thought about applying because i could have spotted that first glance i mean that was really simple! Exarian I would be a honest one too, I cant believe they would charge that much for such a simple fix!

Jul 2, 2010 - lol when i was 11 i could have fixed that

Jul 2, 2010 - why are reporters who have no knowledge of the subject investigating it? Computer repair is basically the same as car repair. You can trust as many auto repair places as you can trust computer repair places. Major chains are usually trustworthy but have a high base charge. Training and competence of actual staff both between and within chains can vary greatly. Individuals and small establishments you have to take your chances or go on reputation and recommendation.

Jul 13, 2010 - I think that Best Buy diagnosis is interesting. If the power supply was bad the machine shouldn't have powered up at all. It doesn't really surprise me though, in my experiences with Best Buy staff they usually demonstrate nearly complete ignorance of the products they sell. "Where are your computers?" "Um. That's not my department." "Ok, but WHERE are they AT in the STORE?" "Uh. What were you looking for?" Even the titles of DVDs seem to confuse them and they're printed right on the box!

Jul 26, 2010 - I agree that there are 11 year olds that could of fixed it.

Jul 28, 2010 - I've fixed countless computers as a hobby and I have an AS degree in Computer Information Systems. I think that it is sad that this happens, and I know that it does, but the same thing can happen in a lot of business. I can and have taken a computer down to just the case sitting there and all the parts next to it, but I don't know anything about auto-repair beyond simple maintenance. You just need a friend that has the skills that you lack. :P
