Back in 2004, I spent a fortune on a laptop and service plan from Best Buy. Big mistake!
So, in July 2005, my power cord fails. Typical. I drag my feet, then in November, the screen goes wonky. “It’s quirky,” I shrugged.
Come December, my DVD/CD writer quits. Reluctantly, I take it in. Cue endless calls to Best Buy: “waiting on parts” from December 20th-27th. Typical.
January 2006, my complaint’s ignored, and a vague response comes on the 5th. On the 6th, they finally ship it, but now the modem’s busted. They guess it’s the motherboard, promising an 8-day fix.
The drama continues: shipping woes, a Montana DOJ complaint, BIOS password mix-ups, and more delays. I’m losing it.
January 23rd, I loop in the DOJ. The laptop’s back on the 27th, but finding it’s a joke. On the 29th, I’m playing tech support, fixing software and registry issues.
Surprise, February 2nd, the store manager calls! We chat on the 3rd, but it’s pointless.
This isn’t just tech trouble; it’s a comedy of errors and a lesson in repair service nightmares. It tested my patience, but hey, it’s a great campfire story!
