    I used to work at a Geek Squad. One of my "favorite" stories from working there was when one of the techs put a new PSU in a desktop case for a customer getting a GPU upgrade. After installing the PSU into the case it began overheating and failing. The dude spent a week trying to fix the issue and tried a few different PSUs which all did the same thing.
    I finally got fed up with telling this customer that their shit wasn't ready, and so I decided to wait until after close and the techs were gone and open the case to see what was wrong. This dude had been facing the PSU fan INTO THE WALL OF THE CASE, blocking airflow. - _ -

      his point is that the board view should reflect the actual physical layout, which includes an 8 pin package with most of the pins coupled. instead of 4 pins on the board view, it needs that 8 pins+source as you see it on the board, otherwise you could be wasting time figuring out what pin is where.

    • @elfamelia

    I remember when I had just graduated college with a BS in computer science I wanted to get a job into some sort of computer field. Having little luck I applied for GeekSquad. I was denied. They said I wasn't a good fit. I later found out it was because I was over qualified. They really only wanted to hire people who liked computers but had no credentials/certifications/experience ect... That way they can pay basically minimum wage or just above it. Luckily a week after being denied by geek squad I got an IT job paying much more, and got my foot into the door. I don't do IT Support anymore but still in the IT industry. Thanks Geek Squad for denying me so I didn't make a horrible mistake xD.

      Do you work at the service center or do you work in the precinct. I am an ARA at the local store and just the other day we got back a laptop that was sent out for a cracked screen which was replaced. I received it in Nova and proceeded to make sure they did the work correctly and nope whoever did the replacement didn't even snap anything in place. Also had someone send out a camera for regular cleaning and they scratched the screen badly and somehow managed to damage the SD card slot.
      I just want to let everyone here know that none of the Geek Squads inside Best Buy do any physical repair's on Macbooks. They all get sent to the service center in Kentucky.

      @@satanicaleve I'm partial CA and ARA but yeah it's crazy how bad the service center can be and it worries me on things like this that we aren't able to check upon receiving things back from them. I had a macbook pro sent out 3 times for the same problem then have the service center say that it was the precincts fault for mis-diagnosis even though all 3 times repairs were performed. Even more so, COD "repairs" are expensive because the service center doesn't repair boards, only replaces unlike Rossman.

      Does he really need to? The fucktards put structural weaknesses at the exact locations of highest moment under bending with NO additional reinforcement - OF COURSE THEY BEND!
      For the uninitiated, the highest moment, or highest bending moment (or torque) location in a beam under a bending load (good enough approximation here!) is also the area of highest stress in the material. It's where you skookumify the living crap out of your part after lightening it everywhere else, otherwise it WILL fail. That's why some steel bridges get progressively thicker towards the middle, then thinner once past it. The thickness also typically follows the shape of the moment curve for a beam with two supported ends and a mean load in the middle. Distributed loads work similarly.
      Apple however are special and appear to be convinced that the laws of physics do not apply to them. Hence bending SHITE.
