I normally have my pc repaired by somebody who posts on here but the tray of my DVD Rewriter got broken, granbddaughter fell on it when it was open.
Went to buy another tray from local shop but they said I needed to replace the rewrite complete £35 and they would fit it for free as it only took a minute. I accepted. They phoned to say it was fitted but the pc wouldnt power up after moving and saying that it was working prior to taking it to them they looked into it. Then phoned a hour later saying it was a faulty power unit which they would replace for £29 instead of the usual £49.
The shop said its is a common fault and often happens when you are moving a pc tower. Is it usual for this to happen or are they just using it as an excuse to get a charge for fitting the dvd rewriter and thus make a profitable job out of it.
I hate being conned through ignorance.
