Geek Squad after computer fix.
EJ C.

The Geek Squad here is awesome. Super chill and always willing to do what is needed for their customers. Had a difficult situation with a bad power supply that required extra fixes afterwards. Recommend the Best Buy Total Membership 100%.

Front view

I give the manager and representative 5 stars; they both made my experience easy and simple. I had purchased a Rexing dash cam in 2022. Yes, I did purchase the Squad yearly protection plan as well. The manager gave store credit for my old Rexing dash cam. As of last week, my dash cam started to glitch; it would turn on and reboot itself over and over. It just would not stay on. The representative, Cheryl or Charlie's (woman), I can't remember her name exactly. She took her time to help me find the right dash cam. Thank you both for your concern and helping replace my dash cam for a newer version.

I was having issues with my PlayStation and I needed a cable that was super hard to get. That took me to this Best Buy and it was an odd experience since I have not been in a electronics store in...I don't even remember how long. The staff was super helpful and they found the cable I needed through some teamwork and sleuthing. It was a micro usb cable that charged and synced. Thank you! Problem solved.

Worst place to shop for electronics don't buy if I'm here unless you're ready to be taken advantage of

this place needs to go out of business soon. I bought this less than 30 days ago and is no longer working. It is having mechanical problem. I brought it back asking for either return or exchange. I was told since I am not a member they will not do either I'm stuck with it now I have been a rewards member for over 20 years however they said no that doesn't count you have to be a member which you pay for. So do yourself a favor which is what I should have done is to buy from Amazon and hoping that companies like this will go out of business because they had no value they just take valuable space

$329.59 then plus tax. Solution is $11.99 then plus tax. Gus Gus had to inspect the purchase.

I do most of my browsing online before coming to Best Buy. That way when I get there, I am not confused or deterred by their many other options available to tailor to my needs/wants. I've rented a room almost my entire adult life (minus the times I've lived w/ boyfriends); even when I lived w/ family, I was renting the one room only. Can you imagine having 3 people in a room? That was life for what seemed like a very long time. I was able to lift myself up through hard-work. seized every opportunity I can to lift myself up from the ground. I rented a one-bedroom apartment in Willow Glen. We lived there for a little over 2 years before upgrading to 5 bedroom house right across from Communications Hill. A bigger place means more to clean. It didn't take me long to clean my apartment but after living here, I copied my parents and invested in a Bissell. The area to cover (sweep/mop) plus the fur from my cats.. the shoe streaks, the dirt from the shoes, etc.. the only carpeted area is the stairs but we have tile and wood overall. Best Buy's website / stocking level is accurate, the description, ordering process, and ready time is also accurate. The online pickup is separate than their regular lines to checkout - I was lucky that I wasn't behind anyone. The gentleman that rung us up was nice and found my order swiftly. From cameras to home security systems to home/kitchen appliances, DVDs, home/car entertainment systems, gaming consoles and games, computer, printers.. candy/sodas.. what don't they have?

I forget that we can rate non-food places on Yelp. This Best Buy will be my first. I had purchased an expensive gaming laptop for my sibling (like $600) and It had software problems with it. I know nothing about computers or software stuff. I had called customer service to schedule an appointment at this location and my experience here was so amazingly helpful that I needed to review this place. I checked into Geek Squad and right away someone came to assess my situation. The kind lady name was Candice and she was absolutely a gem! Even with my word vomit of me trying to explain what's the problem, she knew exactly what to do. She walked me through every step of the way along with humorous side conversations. I loved that this customer service interaction didn't give me any annoyed attitude or eye rolls when I asked questions because I'm dumb with technology lol Candice answered professionally without sounding sarcastic! I truly appreciate that. Living in the Bay Area lol and not knowing basic software stuff, you tend to run into people who are so judgmental. I am a health science major LOL leave me alone! ANYWAY, not only did Candice and her team FIX the laptop but she also gave me the option to replace it with an entire new one so I could start over! Ever since I was a child, I saw the infamous Geek Squad vans driving around but I never experienced them before because when technology breaks I am frustrated and just buy a new one lol but I can't just whip out $600 lol so I had to check in with the Geek Squad and I am so happy I did. I will always come here for my computer troubles. I spent about 20-30 minutes here! I highly recommend this place!

the one i wanted now i have to look all over at another store

I received "No" after "No", but Ray reached out and said he had an idea. My gaming laptop was no longer powering on and due to its model, essentially every repair shop said they couldn't handle it. I was able to come by and drop off my laptop for a diagnostic check. An hour later Ray was done and sent me a highly detailed Diagnostic report with findings, causes, and recommendations. My issue required a full motherboard replacement so we weren't able to proceed with any fixes. Regardless, I am grateful to the expertise and support Ray has given me for the laptop. If I have any other pc issues in the future, I would return to TechCare, they know what they're talking about!

I called them at 5:50pm and spoke with Ray "I think he is the owner" anyway I told him what was going on and he said to come on down and that he would wait for me. When I arrived I noticed that they have a big Yelp banner on the window, I walked in and spoke with Ray about the problem and showed him a picture of what the error was, he was up front with me and explained that if the hard drive was bad that he would not be able to save my data. I told him to do his best to save my data. The next day he texted me with a quote and said that he would be able to fix it and save my data. I told him to fix it. About 3 hours later he texted me again and said to come on by and pick it up. Now when I arrived he didn't just give me my computer and send me on my way, he sat me down and explained that I have 3 different options to save my data just in case the hard drive or computer crashes in the future. He also said that if I'm not sure how to back up the hard drive or need help with anything to call him and he would walk me through it. When all was said and done, he charged me $299 out the door and my machine is working flawlessly!! Thank you Ray! You got a customer for life.

These folks are truly incredible. Some background: over a decade ago, I spent a several years…read morerepairing Macs at the Genius Bar, before moving onto other roles within the company (and eventually after many years leaving). Flash forward to now: my work MacBook Pro suddenly completely dead. No power, not charging, and all USB-C ports showing only drawing 5v. I did my own work down, attempting to isolate to bare minimum components in order to get it to boot. I've worked on enough of these machines to suspect liquid damage even though there hadn't been any spills or anything, and I pulled the logic board and did a close visual inspection looking for blown MOSFETs or any real sign of dried liquid. Found nothing, and I was a little disappointed that my old skills were failing me. Critically, I needed data on the machine that had not yet been backed up. (Dumb.) Unlike back in the day, there's no removable flash storage chip that you can mount in an enclosure and get back on data. In fact, the data itself is now encrypted against the security chip on the machine, so really the only option is to get the machine booting again, or spend $2000-$5000 on forensic data recovery (and even then with the encryption, I wasn't confident if that was a viable option anymore). I knew that if I brought the machine to Apple, they would try very few things to get the machine up and booting with my data intact before replacing components, and thus taking my data with it. I also knew I was probably looking at $1500-$1800 in logic board part cost. I bring it to Alex and crew at MacFixed. Alex called me within 24h and filled me in on his initial diagnosis, which told me that I wasn't missing anything silly and that the issue was way deeper than anything I could address. Approved the repair and he went to work. Pricing was an incredibly good deal, somebody this skilled deserves to be paid for their time, and with the amount of time debugging that this kind of issue would require, I got out the door for $550 which is an absolute steal. I mentioned the alternative repair options and their prices, and hopefully that puts that cost in perspective. Well, Alex solved it, after spending an entire weekend on the thing. He told me he eventually noticed something just slightly off on a surface mount component's pad, just a slight shift in coloring, and desoldered it on speculation to finally find the issue. Some truly microscopic amount of liquid managed to wedge itself under the chip and short out the entire machine. He replaced the chip, revived my machine, and even maintained a backup for me while I went home to get a second copy for redundancy created. He said he saved the chip to show me, and when I picked up my machine I couldn't believe how small it truly was. Unbelievable. Attaching photos to this review. I'll come to ya'll again in a heartbeat and sharing positive word of mouth every chance I get. Thank you again guys.

My Nintendo Pro Controller NFC reader (for amiibo) stopped working and Nintendo basically told me…read morethey wouldn't fix it. I really do not want to treat electronics like they are disposable so I searched for a local repair on yelp and found ClickAway. Pros: They responded to my query right away (I sent my request after close and they got back to me asap the following day) They were polite and professional and asked me to bring it in for a free diagnostic so they could see exactly what it needed and if they could fix it. They had a 24 hour turn around, which they stuck to. Cons: They were not able to fix it, because Nintendo just isn't making the part available. (not taking a star off for that, cause that's on Nintendo) The ADA spot in the lot is on the the opposite side of the building from the entrance, The only reason I am not taking a star off for that is the way the closest spots are aligned in a steep stagger, it still leaves room to wrangle mobility aids in and out of the vehicle. It would be nice if one of them was reserved for ADA, because the building is long and the walk from the ADA spot to the front door is a bit of a haul if you are walker-ing or walking with a cane. Over all the crew was really professional and helpful, and I plan on taking my other tech issues to them in the future. HIGHLY recommend them. One tip though, Google Maps is not giving accurate instructions (at the time of this review) on how to get to them. They are going to try and make you make the world's dumbest u-turn, so for reference, it's across latimer from the KFC on winchester, and the lot entrance is to the left of the building as you face it from winchester, it's small and easy to miss, so be careful.

I don't really dabble in building keyboards myself but as someone who works in accessibility, it's interesting to me (textured/braille keys, ergonomic and 1 handed keyboards, etc.). They're located in the back of a creator's hub in a shared space but they have their own worker there who can answer questions and they have building events and community days too from what I've gleaned over. Definitely check out their Instagram for more up to date information. They have clay key caps, they do commissions, and they have lots of different colors, textures, with or without the numbers and letters and symbols on them, different levels for beginners or more advanced keyboard people, mats, cases, and so much more, so if this is your hobby, this is the place to stop by. Value and price is fair for what they offer since there's pre-built, build your own, the variety that they have, and the fact that they can also DIY or do commissions after reaching out. Much better than, you know, getting a cheapo Hoyoslop keyboard from elsewhere...
