I worked in Geek Squad during their decline. I was one of the last agents to receive Apple's training which allowed me to work on their machines. Bottom line is the in store agents are not authorized to fix things anymore. I'm not saying the Apple training is the only way to learn to fix things, but it did help me. If you have the warranty, they'll send it to a repair center. If an agent offers to fix it in store, he is going rougue. If anything goes wrong, he'll get in trouble and the store will generally leave you high and dry.

So I opened a customer's Macbook Air, and after recovering from lithium burns from the exploding battery, I removed the SSD, followed by the screw. I then put solder on top of a chip and put it back together. And guess what. It's still broken and I'm now seriously in debt from being treated for lithium burns at the ER. I'm a genius, I knew this wouldn't work, but I did it anyway just to prove you wrong.

She took it to the Genius who said they can't repair it and they need to buy a new Macbook (which she did before she came to me) 20 minutes of troubleshoot found the $18 SATA cable was faulty, replaced it and boom! Working again. After all that, the Lithium battery blew up in my face and now i'm scarred for life.

A while ago my Dell laptop was experiencing the blue screen of death when inserting my SD card. I did everything possible update drivers, trying Linux to read SD card, updating the bios. Since I tried everything possible I took it to Best Buy and used my protection plan to get it fixed. They insisted that it was a virus even though I was running Linux and told my they will charge $100 on top of the $300 geek squad plan I paid when I bought the laptop. I insisted that it was a hardware problem and made multiple trips to the store trying to convince them to repair my laptop. At they end the agreed to send it to their repair center and if the computer was ok they would charge my $40 for shipping (wasting their time). When I got it back they replaced the motherboard ($400 part covered by insurance) and the computer ran normal. Geek Squad takes advantage of people. Back then I was around 13 years old and they thought they knew more than me. I learned my lesson when Circuit City’s Fire Dogs took advantage by selling us $300 for antivirus and spyware installation.

I disagree, my customer service experience has always been this bad. My last purchase at BestBuy was for a head unit for my car. I bought a refurb unit. It arrived missing knobs and buttons, I know its a refurb but can they at least check to make sure it looks like the picture on the box? I figured no big deal, take it to the store and they say they'll take care of it. Refurbs aren't available so they exchange for a new unit. But it isn't in store so they have to order and have it delivered to my house. No big deal. A week goes by and I don't have anything. I try to check the status online and it keeps showing pending (or something to that effect). Check with online support and they say it happens sometimes, give it a day or two. Give it another week still nothing. Head to store. Frontline CS sees what I see and doesn't know what's going on. Cue talking to manager. 15 minutes later they figure out that it was discontinued and out of stock at the time of ordering but for some reason the order went through and got stuck. They offered to exchange for something else. No thanks, I'll only take so many fuckups. The only reason I went is because I had a gift card, too many bad experiences in the past. I'll just go back to buying Netflix or Steam giftcards when someone gets me one, they spend too much time trying to sell me a phone instead of getting their shit straight.

My uncle bought a harddrive at BB as they had a great deal on a massive 512GB drive (yeah, it's been awhile :P ). He wanted to move the data from his 2 smaller drives on to the larger drive and still keep his 2 smaller drives as backup drives in the same machine. They told him it'd cost about $200 for the labor. Fortunately he mentioned it to my other uncle (his younger brother) and me before he went and did it. He watched us do the software move using an imaging software in the first 10mins, then we walked away. He asked what was up. We said, now we wait, go eat lunch, watch some TV. It'll take about an hr to transfer. "That's it?" yup. He then realized he almost got screwed because they also said they'd have the machine for about a week to do the transfer. There was a job opening for BB Geek Squad and several ppl said I should apply. I said Nope! I have better ethics than they do. I will not screw over a customer by over charging and under delivering

You know generally speaking I had absolutely no interest in computer hardware or maintenance before I stubled across your channel. But you are an excellent story teller and narrator, and I have actually been researching more into hardware. Considering attempting to build my own PC for the first time soon and know vastly more than I did! Wouldn't trust myself to solder or replace individual chips and such but who knows, maybe I could eventually.

Nah you’re good brah. You can do it yourself, building a computer nowadays requires little to no computer knowledge at all. You just have to know the ten or so components that make up pcs these days and buy them and assemble

@Coolio_Ash 4 года назад
if you want to start building all you need is like 500-1k bucks to do it, maybe like 200 if you just want to build a barebones af computer. if you want to get super into it even more the comptia a+ certification is pretty great.

As someone who worked on smartphone repair it's true that this can be mastered with time, but it's still not as easy as this gentleman makes it look. Also it's a matter of having good equipment which isint cheap depending on what part of the world you want are in.

Mmm, I was scrapping out PowerMac G5s at work last week, and tore up my hands a little bit on those goddamn heat sinks. Those machines are real head-scratchers in terms of construction. Hex, Torx, and Phillips (or is it JIS?) screws all in one machine! Hex and Phillips on the same assembly! 4 full-length card-slots, and how do they implement a modem? Little daughterboard off the motherboard, at the opposite corner to the jack-pack, wire running UNDER the motherboard and around to a little extra 4p4c Modular screwed on to a bracket so it looks like it's part of said jack-pack. Any other computer manufacturer on Earth would have slapped a modem in a card-slot and called it a day.

Lazarus Long "Think different" was their slogan... they went with that one after someone pointed out "Designed while high on cocaine" may not go will with the public... I have a collection of old (pre-OSX) Macs, and I also start muttering about "what were they thinking" and "who came up with that idea" every time I need to open one.
@Lazarus7000
@Lazarus7000 6 лет назад
tin2001: Sounds about right, I've had a few of those open myself and I do find myself asking quite the same thing. In those days, though, there were whole machines you could open and not find anything exceptionally objectionable, though. The really old PowerBooks, the ones with the trackball, were actually pretty well designed in terms of how the case came apart. Oddly enough, you can get the service documents for those from Apple to this day, and even those are super hand-holdy and read like they're written for an idiot. Don't expect block diagrams, circuit drawings, or theories of operation!
