@ CG..well I had to learn this for myself as the first time I decided to upgrade my PC with new memory, the guy charged me 200 for 5 minutes of service. No lie. I always tell me friends and I have said this here too, if you know someone that knows PCs, (Just as you did CG) take it TO THEM instead of the Geek Squad. Most of them are not even A+ Certified and have on some occasions have done more damage than good.
I made the mistake of taking my PC to Circuit City 2 years ago because it got something that even I could not fix and they
a) took one month to fix it after they told me it would take a week
b) broke something else on my machine and tried to say it was already like that when it was a new part.
and this goes not just with PCs but anything that you know may cost a pretty penny to fix. Even automobiles...if you find someone that knows how to do car repairs and do it well, become their friend!
