The "more" in "Computer and More" apparently stands for incompetency. I have never written a review, but I need to warn others about this place.
I came in on Monday, November 17 with a charging port issue on my MSI. This has happened twice before, so I know what this issue looks like. I decided to try Computer and More after they quoted me $50-$100 for this repair. When I got there, the guy spent 20 minutes asking me the same questions over and over again, googling, and calling someone. Then he told me that it would be $180. I said I'd go somewhere else, and he suddenly went down to $150. I agreed and left. They said it would be done by the weekend. Also, they didn't have me fill out any paperwork, which is very unprofessional.
So, Monday comes with no call. I call them and they tell me that they had changed the charging port but it still wasn't charging, and now it wasn't even booting. My laptop was also booting when I came in, so they had definitely messed something up and didn't want to tell me. They said they'd call me back in a couple of days.
But they never called me! I called instead. They said they'd call me back after a couple minutes, but ended up calling after a couple of hours just to say the same exact thing as before: that it wasn't charging or booting. I told them that I'd be in to pick it up by Friday.
The next day, I get a call from them (the only time they have ever called me). Some guy asked to erase my hard drive. Why would you need to erase my hard drive for a CHARGING ISSUE? I said no. He said that they could put in their own placement hard drive instead, so I went in to pick up my hard drive. He made me wait a super long time before giving it to me. I asked what was wrong with it and he said that the AC wasn't taking any power, which is literally why I came in to begin with. They said they'd call me back.
Well, they never called me back! So I called them on Thursday, reminding them that I'd be in the next day or over the weekend to pick up my laptop. Then I asked specifically if it was not booting. They said, "Yes, it is not booting." So they admitted that they had messed something up.
I come in on December 7. He eventually finds my laptop (after I had to point out which one it was), and then spends fifteen minutes opening it up and getting their hard drive out (which they should have done way earlier). When he hands it to me, I ask him for my charger, and it takes him ten minutes to find it (after showing me four chargers to see if they were mine). After he hands everything to me, I tell him that my laptop is not booting, and that it was booting when I came in. He confirms that. I said, so, you broke my laptop. Then he smiles this guilty smile, makes me wait even more, and calls someone.
This other guy comes in after a while and tells me that it IS booting. I tell him that his coworker has said several times that it is not booting (so either he is lying or they are incompetent and don't know what booting is). I tell him to show me that it's booting, and he just shows me the ports screen and lies, saying that it means it's booted. I tell him to put in an actual hard drive and prove that it boots. So, they spend a long time trying to put in a placement hard drive. After forever, they come back to tell me to go home and get my original hard drive because his wouldn't work in my laptop. I was on a call with my boyfriend who fixes laptops, and I heard him say that this guy is lying. So, I start yelling at them (and I have never yelled at anyone in my life). They make me wait three weeks for a two day issue, then an extra 40 minutes, just to break my laptop and not do anything? This guy is not listening to me, though, and even starts blaming ME for taking my hard drive to begin with. So I eventually just put my boyfriend on speaker.
He tells them to boot into a USB (very basic knowledge), but this guy is yelling at him, saying that it won't work. Eventually, my boyfriend has to yell at him to let him talk, so the guy finally shuts up and does what my boyfriend says. He pulls out a USB that was RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM THE WHOLE TIME, and does what my boyfriend says, and it works! All that arguing for nothing! So, it boots up to the most basic page, at least (which I'm very surprised about). We'll see if it boots up properly when I put my hard drive in, and if they messed up my charging ports pins or not. I just grabbed my stuff and left. It took a whole hour to be able to even leave.
These guys are a incompetent and unqualified and do not deserve your time or money. Go here only if you want them to ruin everything. Surprised they are even in business since they are so disorganized and horrible.
UPDATE: They broke my laptop and my hard drive. Made some idiotic excuses. Never trust these guys. read more
