It has changed, worth the visit. Appliances are a thing there now. Still got computer equipment upscale flat screens, cutting edge drones and cameras and watches. Lots of various new merchandise.
I originally purchased my HP laptop from this Best Buy location. After experiencing a system update failure, I brought the laptop to the store for evaluation and repair. During the inspection, the technician— a young individual of Asian descent who works in the computer repair department— informed me that the laptop had liquid inside and stated that the computer had no remedy. He explained that the only possible solution was to replace the entire internal system, implying that the laptop was essentially beyond repair.
Unsatisfied with this assessment, I decided to take the laptop to another repair service. At this second location, I was informed that an alternative approach could be attempted: removing the liquid residue, cleaning the internal components with alcohol to allow proper evaporation, and then testing the system. I was clearly advised that this solution might not be successful; however, it was still a viable option worth attempting.
Fortunately, after this cleaning process was performed, the laptop functioned properly again.
This report is based on the lack of alternatives presented by the Best Buy technician. It appears that the technician chose the easiest conclusion— declaring the laptop irreparable— without offering or attempting other reasonable options that, while not guaranteed to succeed, could have resolved the issue, as they ultimately did.
I believe this situation reflects a failure to provide a thorough evaluation and to inform the customer of all possible repair options.
