It's worth trying before spending a lot of money
I Asked Best Buy to Fix My PC…They FAILED – Geek Squad vs. Mom & Pop Shop
Most of the people who write for this site know their way around computers. From the early days of IBM compatibles running DOS to modern gaming PCs and laptops, between us we've done and seen just about everything.
Which makes it easy to forget that the average PC user is not an obsessive techie. If something goes wrong with a computer, the average user will likely pack it up and take it to a company like Geeksquad for help. While there’s nothing wrong with this, more often than not you’ll be paying a professional hundreds of dollars to fix something you probably could have done yourself.
While it is true that you have a problem that only a real technician can solve, chances are that it is something that is within your own reach. It is definitely worth a try before you hand over your computer with a big wad of cash.
