I took in my laptop to a local Best Buy because they had $20 fees to clean the dust bunnies. But they couldnt/wouldnt open up a laptop. Then I took them 30 miles to a Geek Squad store. They said it would take about a week and cost $199. I said no. I'm going to look for a local shop. If you wont open a laptop, then you're not too experienced. And if you charge 10 times more for a laptop than for a pc, you're also not good. Good thing because I did some research online, and found out what a fraud GS is.

yeah it was a couple weeks ago

i saw a blind guy working at a geek squad at my best buy (i know he was cuz he had a guide dog)
*very confusing to InfernoReaper*

i had almost no experience with laptops when i worked on the first one but i still fixed it (took it almost completely apart to find out everything was connected right *it was a bad hdd*)

funny story at geek squad/best buy:

I was waiting for someone to talk to me about a tv i think and saw and old lady having her computer looked at and taking so long people were lined up at least 15 feet back
i think if i was in that line i would have ripped out a stick of RAM, pull her hair net back (practically snapping her neck), and stabbed her with 256k of silicon *insert crazy evil laugh here*

Just on the flip side. I don't think I have seen 1 dusty laptop in all my days disassembling them. Most I have seen is the small fan partially having a little on it but in all most of the laptops are so sealed up you don't get much dust intrusion.

i know it weird i would think companies would make em spaced apart for the cleaners to get more business
