Harddisk Failure.

I went to Geek Squad with my Hitachi 250 gb portable harddrive mainly because it was unresponsive when hooked up to the computer. As i got to Geek Squad i presented my harddisk and explained to him my problem... Now he told be that jusst by looking at it they can't tell anything... which is pretty obvious, but i was told i had to pay $150 for them to look at it and see what is the problem and then additional charge MAY apply based on the problem. Now, this got me really upset also because there was a risk to attempting the repair. In my case i had a 120gb of valuable data including pictures, years of documents and other. I had no choice and wasn't willing to pay a third party to risk such an important drive. Now after they looked at it they told me they weren't sure as to what the problem is, and charges can get really costly to recover this data. I was really upset firstly cause my documents were no longer recoverable and secondly i paid $150 bucks for nothing. A few days later i met my brother in law who is an engineer in computer science and i presented him this problem. He said he will look into it and will get back to be. He came to me the next day and told me my data was fine (thanks god) and the problem was that the circuit had died out. basically all i need to recover the documents was and new sata hard disk enclosure that would cost me $15 bucks and the job would be done Now what was really upsetting was to it being 15 times the cost of the actual repair. Anyways, im just trying to pass the message that when it comes to issues in regards to computer and hard disk repairs. Get quotes, second opinions, and be sure to make the right move. Make sure you dont end up paying over and beyond what is needed, because sometimes things can get costly unnecessarily for no good reason. thank you.

Installing software on a laptop

I have done business with Best Buy on a retail level but their Geek Squad keeps me coming back.

This is only one instance where they were outstanding. We purchased a laptop. It was brand new and we were not sure if we could competently install the new operating system and/or software. We were able to work out a deal with the purchase price and warranty so that installation was reasonable and guaranteed with DISKS.

We keep going back because of the service, openness, helpful staff and great atmosphere.

Installed tv. rogers box and set up

they came in on time after giving me a window of time notice. Polite and knowledgeable. Good work. They did have to return a second time because they didn't explain how I was to use it properly. But they came and did so without charging anything extra.

Home networking

I made the mistake of hiring the Geek squad for some in home installation, home/office and networking work. These reps can do basic work, but hire an experienced company if you want it done right without bias to the products being used. Geek Squad is owned by Best Buy/Future Shop. Therefore they only push the products that Best Buy has in store..especially the Best Buy house name product. These may not be the best options for you. again, hire an unbiased consultant even if you have to pay a little extra for the advice and work.

$1,000.00

Computer Dummies

As a computer dummy, Geek Squad helped me setup my Wireless Router. The service was not bad but the price was extremely high... Then I tried computersquad when my computer was infected with spyware/virus. Someone came over the same day and get the job done.

computer support

wasnt impressed with the geek squad support team. they never tried to fix my computer issues. instead they tried to sell me a new computer peripheral. they seemed to be glorified sales reps for best buy.

Geek Squad service

Last year I had occasion to ask the Geek Squad to come to my house and set up the surround sound system in the basement and I must say the service was excellent, the Geek Squad arrived on time and did what needed to be done with no problems and left me fully satisfied with the work.
