Taking computer to geek squad?

Question

My computer loptop screen broke ( the lightbulb or screen burned out) i was thinking of taking my compter there to go and check it out, is it good taking your computer there or should i go somewhere else? Also about how much would it cost to get my loptop fix?

Compaq presario V2000
i called the company but i wanted to see if i could find a better price since the were going to charge around 400 dollars or less.

Answer 1

RS - save money. Buy the part through http://www.lcdscreen.com and then either replace the screen yourself or have a local repair shop do it for ~$100.

This should help you if you want to do the simple replacement of the screen: http://www.screentekinc.com/lcd-removal-instructions_en,compaq.shtml

Answer 2

You need to evaluate the cost you originally invested in the laptop versus buying a new one. If your not savvy enough to replace the screen yourself then full replacement may be the option to go. Geek Squad is very expensive and the screen may not be cheap either depending on the make and model of your laptop. So consider your options and how long you plan on keeping the laptop before upgrading.

Answer 3

the geek squad is a rip off i woudnt take anything there find a small shop that can do the repair and order the screen yourself from ebay etc. and just have them install it a screen isnt that hard to repair honestly just the cost of the screen and maybe $100 in labor

Answer 4

Contact the place you got the laptop from - you may be still under warrenty from them or the manufacturer. Check this out first. Other wise get 3 quotes for the repair as some places will be very expensive and others will be cheaper...

Answer 5
