IT Sector My motherboard fried a while back, being impatient I took it down to the local PC repair place. I had used them before for a burnt PSU so I was expecting half decent service. I told them exactly what was wrong, I even pointed out the Motherboard on the shelf that it needed to be replaced with. I was quoted £85, fair enough, left the PC there and went off to enjoy the rest of my day. I return the next day to pick it up, the first thing I notice is that the bill is £135 intead of the £85 quoted to me the day previously, I pay £85 cash and £50 cheque and take the PC back home. First thing I notice is that the DVD Rom isn't working, I open up the case and they had completely cocked it up. The had put in the wrong motherboard, forgotten to reconnect the IDE Cable for the DVD Rom, forgotten to plug the graphics card back in to the power supply and (dangerously) forgotten to reapply more thermal paste on the chip when they switched motherboards. Needless to say I cancelled the cheque. A couple of days later (having fixed all of the cockups they had made), I got a nasty phonecall about the cheque I had cancelled, I explained to them that I had given them the money that I had been quoted, and they'd done a god awful job on the repair by causing problems without fixing anything. I got threatened with police action etc, obvious rubbish. A lawyer friend of mine was kind enough to write a legal letter to them explaining everything that they had done wrong and that if they didn't drop all accusations then I'd sue them in to the ground. Needless to say I didn't hear from them again.
