In about 15 minutes, he told me that the OS Windows system was corrupted BUT the hard drive was fine and the data could be recovered. We installed the “un-working” hard drive into another working laptop computer. I took the “un-working” hard drive to a friend at work. $99.00 for the unsuccessful back-up…ĭisappointed that I had lost all of my data files, I started talking to other computer persons about this problem. was given his laptop, and his non-working hard drive.īut were the data files really beyond saving? After all, Geek Squad had charged O.
was given the sad news that his hard drive was fried and would need to be replaced for an extra charge of $118.00. On the 10th day the exhaustive tests were still being done, but things weren’t looking good for O.’s data files. After 8 days, they’d begun testing the laptop. Seven days later, they hadn’t even looked at the machine. Price to diagnose was $69.00, OS Install $129.00, Back up transfer $99.00, NO Guarantee.
They told him the problem was called “Blue Screen of Death,” (yes, really) and quoted O. Reader O.’s laptop stopped working, so he consulted the oft-advertised but rarely recommended Best Buy “Geek Squad” for assistance. 2.27.07 8:26 PM EDT By Meg Marco squad repairs sad best buy
