I want to to qualify that as: "There isn't much repair to be done anymore at geek squad." Computer/cellphone repair is still alive. For example, pretty much anyone with some time on their hands and access to youtube can do cellphone screen replacements. I've personally replaced the screen on my phones 4 times, and the battery once, all without any training or past experience. Laptops are even easier since you don't have to pry a screen off.
- creer 3y agoThat has been the case forever. Geek Squad and Co cater to most people - who won' t attempt even the simplest repair themselves. After that, yeah, the incentives are poorly aligned for the customer - when the repair business is also one of the main sellers of new hardware...
- ipaddr 3y agoWhy so many screen repairs?
- craftkiller 3y agoTry as I may, I haven't been able to find a solution to the treacherous force of gravity, my local government has ignored my pleas for softer sidewalks, and I can't shake my addiction to dropping things. My most recent screen replacement was because I placed my phone on a table outside, foolishly not realizing that flat != level.
