... **** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** Do computer repair centers ever replace HDs with smaller ones and not tell customers? I took my Compaq equipped with 80 gig HD to ****USA but got back a 40 gig. My data wasn't lost, but the drive is definitely smaler, according to the BIOS and the label on the HD. Um, a bios change 'might' make the computer report a smaller hard drive size than actual. have you cracked the case open and looked at the hard drive? checked the serial number? |

Ok - most of the replys I've seen were close, but it's evident
that people don't fully retain the facts. Take your "proof" to the Manager first, and explain the situation. Make it clear that you are not just going to let it 'slide'. Give him the understanding that you know your recourses. ( explain in a non-threating manner that you don't want to be forced to go to the BBB, the local court system, and the press ) Don't present it as a "you ripped me off" but rather as an " I understand that it may not be intentional, BUT... ) Give them an oppertunity to make it right, as the dealer cost between the 40 and 80 gig is next to squat - he'll probly make good just to make YOU happy. Be nice. Be Non-Threatening. Be FIRM. ( tact required ). Don't be afraid to carry through if he declines, as most courts will side with the consumer. I was once sued by an individual customer who claimed I breeched our sales agreement by not teaching them to run the computer they purchased. ( I did my best to help, they wouldn't listen! ) The judge 'nudged' me into refunding the ENTIRE purchase price, even though they had used the machine for a year before bringing suit. ( I was holding out for some type of 'depreciation' or ... ) The judge felt that for 'customer relation' reasons I should return the full price. ( a far cry from the 15,000 they were suing for - they also wanted me to pay for the remodeling they did to accomodate the computer ! )...

My original problem was that the computer would freeze or blue screen every other day, and changing the PS didn't help. Apparently the original PS was bad and the second one was inadequate because the repair center put in yet another, and the computer has been rock solid ever since. The repair center denies that the replaced the drive and said that they only ran a diagnostic on it. I have the receipt for the original HD (was an upgrade) and registered its serial no., but the repair center says that it's not enough proof.

The receipt he has is for the drive in question, which could have been put into any system. The fact that he has a receipt does not mean the drive was in THAT system. You still haven't addressed the question of why they would clone a drive and replace it without charging for it. Mistake? Why clone it in the first place? |

The OP has no proof of what drive was in the system when he took it to CompUSA. You clearly dont have a clue about how the small claims system works. The receipt he has is for the drive in question, which could have been put into any system. You dont even know that. The fact that he has a receipt does not mean the drive was in THAT system. You dont even know that. The receipt might specify what system he paid to have it installed in. You still haven't addressed the question of why they would clone a drive and replace it without charging for it. Others have tho. Mistake? Why clone it in the first place? Because the power supply had already been swapped once, that made no difference. The hard drive is one possible cause of the hang or bsod every couple of days and is rather easier to try a swap than say the motherboard. |
