well let them show a A+ certification that they are certified to fix PC or laptops

You're better off taking it to a PC gamer that you might know. Coz we all know a lot more than half the wankers who claim to be PC experts.

A stick of ram doesn't cost enough to warrant buying a new computer unless the computer is so old that you need a new one regardless. And that one guy might have not been trying to rip anyone off, but he sure as hell didn't know what he was talking about. You don't just go naming off random parts because you think the customer would have no idea. On top of that he would have had no idea if the hard drive was bad or not, the damn computer wouldn't even give video.

these guys are not trying to rip anyone off basically computers are not worth repairng unless you need to recover your data from the hard drive in which case you would need a dust free room to dis-assemble a hard drive, in my experience the most common cause of failure is the power supply or ram. Ram is diifuclt to diaganose beacuse it will cause no video

Why would an A+ guy lie to a poor helpless noob pc user.

I think so too. I turned it in for service under PSP. All they did was clean the screen with a degreaser and that was it. They had it for two weeks, and didn't fix any of the problems I originally complained about. They charged me $100 to back up 10 gigs of data. I could by a 100 gig hard drive and do it myself for less than that.

And also I'd like to add. A memory problem is not an extremely easy thing to spot. It isn't something that will always jump out at you. And she said it's a $25 fix. That is only somewhat true. I'd charge $30 to install it, but the memory itself is also going to cost you around $30. If you count parts and labor, it is a $60 fix. And that is for carry-in. On-site this is about a $100 fix.
