I purchased an HP slimline back in January of 2010 for $540.00 at Best Buy and I never turned it off ever since except for power failures in my area.
Last month the screen was going off and on. Strange cuz I never encountered this before. I opened it and everything seems to be in place like all cables from the switch to the motherboard was okay and nothing seems to have loose wiring. I disassembled it to make sure the wires are tightly connected.
Whenever I turn it on it would only give me one blue blink. So, I opted to have it repaired. Couldn't really do much in search for a reasonably priced technician and so I called this guy from the Yellow Pages of my iPhone
He and diagnosed it as a dead power supply. I came to agree with him and told me it will be $160 and he is willing to bring it down to go down to $140.00. In short he did the haggling by himself. He said that it will take a couple of days to get my computer running in hood condition and that the part (power supply) and told me this part is never sold at stores. I wanted my computer fixed so I wrote him a check for $140.00. In 4 days he calls me and tell me everything is fine. He gave me ack the computer on Friday past 11:00PM.
I checked it out the next day and it was glacier-fast but I did not give up on it especially after spending that much. It took me a loooong time to get from website to another and after a few days I realized that I am waiting for eternity to get to another site. Btw. I never had seen a working You Tube at all. It just gives
E a snowy screen which says an error has occurred. I am getting impatient so I had emailed the technician every time I come to a road block.
I could not get anywhere with this computer so I tried System Restore which did not work so I finally decided to Recover to factory settings and willing to lose all my data of 2 years.
Now that Recovey finished my computer's password and probably the username are not recognized by the homegroup network and I am getting an Error 651.
I emailed the guy and told him everything. This guy never responded to my prior emails yet now he replies and told me that I should have told him before I went into the Recovery mode and tells me that he can fix it with a $100.00 fee.
Where in this world was I ever so lucky to pluck this money grubbing tech from a multitude of technicians. Please let me know what you think and of course I need your help. Thanks a lot
