Dell Inspiron 8600. 1MB RAM, 60 GB 7200 rmp hard drive. Error message said missing "dll" was not found when I tried to print. After a restart it would boot up to where the "welcome screen" would normally appear & then the screen would go black.

GEEK SQUAD (BEST BUY) charged $180.78; took 13 days to do nothing; FIXED NOTHING and actually gave the computer back UNREPAIRED & worse than when it went in. They retreived no data; made contact by e-mail when my computer was in for repair; did not give timely status reports (I had to initiate status contact); lost the computer at one point (& when found could not tell me the status of repairs); tried to sell me a new hard drive but could not tell me specifically what was wrong with the "bad" hard drive; E-MAILED ME THAT THE COMPUTER WAS FIXED AND READY FOR PICK UP WHEN IT WAS STILL UNREPAIRED and sent an e-mail that if I was not satisfied then I should take the computer back to GEEK SQUAD (BEST BUY) OR take it to a certified Dell repair shop.

COMP USA charged $151.54; took 10 days; retreived data; verified the hard drive was good and FIXED THE COMPUTER that Geek Squad (Best Buy) could not & did not fix. (Same computer, same hard drive & same problem.)

DONT EVEN CONSIDER GEEK SQUAD (BEST BUY) FOR REPAIRING YOUR COMPUTER! TRULY LOUSY AND UNPROFESSIONAL COMPUTER REPAIR SERVICE!!

I see things haven't changed in 10 years. I had a very similar experience with Best Buy's Geek Squad, and when I complained to their corporate offices, I was basically told that all customers think they are right and that they trust their repair guys to be the best, so if there's a problem, its my own fault. In 10 years, I've NEVER AGAIN set foot in a Best Buy and I REGULARLY tell people about my experience so as to steer them away from using these rip-off artists. I've been very effective in that endeavor, by the way! And will continue to do so. I still have alot of stolen cash to make up for thanks to these idiots...

Well...i'll tell you one thing right now i am a computer repair technician and COMPUSA (I thought they were out of business) charging $150.00 for 10 days of troubleshooting and repair?...That's ridiculous! I would have charged you probably if not $30-$40 dollars less and had it done in less than 2 days!

If you ever need computer service and support i am always available and i get it done faster than these idiots!...

drop me a line at matt_regalado@hotmail.com if ever you come across an issue like this again!

I wouldn't even trust these best buy/compusa guys to take out the trash...let alone work on my computer!...
