Any trouble w/ Geek Squad?

Question

I'm thinking of having them install a graphics card for me?

Any issues, problems or concerns pertaining to Geek Squad?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Asked them about installing a new keyboard on my laptop, told would take about a week, would have to be done in their "Clean" room. The charge would be 230.00, I thought a little high.

Anyway, kept looking around and found a site, that I could download a repair manual, for my laptop, looked thru it and found was a "peice of cake" to remove and re-install new keyboard, got keyboard on line, and 7 screws later had new keyboard installed, took all of 23 minutes.

Geek Squad? No comment.

Answer 2

Asking that kind of open question can lead to possible legal problems. If you have having a problem with a specific squad member, say so - or at least state the store he or she works out of. Not all techs are the same. I, personally, have never used them. To save money bring your system to a local shop - that way you don;t pay for a home visit.

Answer 3

Over Priced

Graphic Cards aren't that complicated to install.

or search for some videos on Google

Answer 5

Very over priced, they are really a rip off. Not only do they cost ten times as much as they should, most of what they do they send off to somewhere else to do it.

Answer 6

Don't bother... If you didn't buy it there, don't get it installed there. Get it installed where you bought it. The chances of it being installed improperly go down quite a lot.

Answer 7

dont have them do it, do it your self.
It is pretty much impossible to mess it up becuase it will only fit in one slot, try it yourself first
