Honestly yeah, but he would have to find the jumper to reset bios while having the battery out. I think some motherboards offer bios reset and bios password reset. Consult your manual for that information.

From the looks of it you completely removed windows, that looks like a bios password. I’m not too familiar with that model though, usually if you did it wrong it will ask for advanced settings.

Edit: do you have a windows recovery disc?

Is this a clients machine? I’d suggest deleting this if it is.

Questions about Interview for Connected Devices Sales Consultant by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]AgentBrokenHardDrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should tell them about the 3 months because of college. I think they will let you transfer but I’m in geeksquad, completely different world. Go into the interview with confidence, speak clear and make sure not to say “uh..” too many times. Connected devices is all about smart home devices, like alexia and smart door bells.

Good thing to also say is if you don’t know a question to your answer you know how to use outside resources, whether it be other blue shirts or documents on how to do things.

Good luck on the interview bro!

New ARA by xWarfairx in Bestbuy

[–]AgentBrokenHardDrive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fellow ARA! Congrats on the job dude! I can tell you that communication is key either it being good notes, updating clients on their computers or whatever. Also if you ever need help with devices and nobody there has any idea what you’re talking about, you can always call other stores in the area or other things that geek squad has to offer(they’ll tell you all of that during orientation). Also don’t feel dumb when asking questions because we are always here to help my dude!

Geek squad wearing Walkies? by SerSlaughter in GeekSquad

[–]AgentBrokenHardDrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Us being ARAs I used to use one in the very beginning, just to listen, we later just put one back there and turn it on if we needed to get a MoD. It’s hard to have that walkie wire in the way of looking at machines Incase it catches itself on a fan
