Acer Travelmate 2600 Repair
Thursday, February 09, 2006
An Acer Travelmate 2600 came in for repair this week with no display. It had been through the geeksquad. (Uh oh!) We can’t say anything bad about them here, however, we can note that to date we haven’t heard anything good about them.
It is a company laptop that they use every day. The ‘geeks’ took it in and charged the customer $60 to diagnose it. They then shipped it off to an unknown location for a period of 6 weeks. It came back in labeled “unrepairable.” Knowing that this was simply not true, they started looking around for someone that knows what they’re doing, which is how they found us.
It had some loose components. We simply had to reseat some components inside of the laptop. No parts were even needed, except for the keyboard! It appears one of the geeks actually broke it when they attempted to take it apart. Unfortunately, we see this too often. The keyboard was $99 and the labor was $120.
So, 5 days and about $200 later the company’s $2300 laptop was up and running again.
