rtwo2008 wroteShitty place, i stopped dealing with them long ago. Incompetent, always busy with subdealers, barely has time for walk-ins and same story with the laptop.
I've heard from friends that almost all shops do that otherwise they won't survive. If that's true then these computer snackshops should stop opening a shop at every corner of every street and stop splitting the pie into smaller and smaller pieces and then complaining that without these shady practices their business would close down; maybe it is a bad business with a subpar business plan that should not have spawned in the first place.
Stories of people sending their laptops with software errors and ending up replacing boards and "defective" rams are endless. They break an IC or unplug a cord on purpose, then after selling the client a new one and taking the old ones for pennies on the dollar or for free they fix it in a minute (if it even needs fixing) and sell it again...
EDIT:
If you think the shop in your street is your friend and would never do that to you, guess what: they become friends with everyone, all their clients are their friends, that's how they can keep doing this...
Yeah man thanks, finally someone knows what I'm talking about.
That's why I usually try to fix my computers at home, this laptop was the only one I couldn't fix because HP left me clueless with their retarded laptops (overheating issues + the blanket/sheet fix for overheating HPs if you ever heard about it).
Cheers geeks !
