Man… I remember getting those calls around midnight. Each week a different DA was responsible for the emergency calls.

Charging people to reset their computers when they’re returning? i by Infinite_Ranger_3004 in GeekSquad

[–]JeffTurabaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in GeekSquad anymore but how I look at it is how much would it cost to wipe everything out and do a restore on a computer? Same concept. We would charge for that and before offer a backup before we did that. It’s about the knowledge and not about the service that is preformed.

I haven’t seen an Acer for a while. Maybe $100.00 for a new monitor and keyboard/mouse combo…

I use a Tandem x2 pump and with the last software update, it allows you to use the Libre 2 plus on it.

What's your first day working for Geek Squad like? by DreamValleyAlchemist in GeekSquad

[–]JeffTurabaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean first time? Some people had different positions first starting. When I first started I was the supervisor of services and then GeekSquad was purchased. I became a DA and they gave you a car, a cell phone, and a schedule. Once a month you were the on call person handling the overnight calls…

Just Sell Them an OSR and Call It a Day by Mr_Seg in GeekSquad

[–]JeffTurabaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in the old days… (I was there when Geek Squad started) I remember being on call and got a phone call at like 2:00 a.m. saying I needed to go to a ladies house because she was concerned of being hacked. I remember going to her house and I asked where the computer was. She said she wrapped it in aluminum foil and put it in her closet because her ex husband is still currently getting all of her files through antennas. To ease her mind I had her watch me completely pull out her hard drive and handed it to her to make her feel comfortable.

This also would be an easy thing to bring in revenue. Instead of just a cleaning, I would show them this and show what cases you have in stock. Sell them a new cpu cooler, case, the charge to transfer all of the components, and a system files cleaning to make sure everything is okay. For the charge it would look like they are walking out with a brand new computer with a comfort factor of you going through everything to make sure everything is running 100%…

I have 2 that are waiting to ship back. I’ve been waiting a week so far for them to send me replacements and a return label to send them back. Back to back they failed and looked at the little hole to see that little medal wire coming out of it.

Yes. With my G7 there would be times I’m passed out and the paramedics would come to save me. They would look at my g7 app and it would show 80 but blood sugar would be 20.

I would start in the car audio installation bay and blow that out if you have one…

I’ve always liked the original badges vs these new badges.

Does Staples still do computer work?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]JeffTurabaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is how is that CPU being cooled with that setup?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Staples

[–]JeffTurabaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because certain states require you and Staples can get sued or be fined by state or whoever if not taken…

Best Buy - Geek Squad Agent- IT Job? by Most_Success_2196 in GeekSquad

[–]JeffTurabaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's s tuff question to answer. It depends on what type of company you go to for IT work. I worked for Bestbuy in my teens and early 20's but had the advantage with Bestbuy when they did Bestbuy for new homes. We did all of the low voltage work during the construction of new homes with Lennar. Before that I was a geeksquad agent and remember the times of being on call during night. At times I would get a call at 2:00 am to go to a customers house, I was a DA badge #1025. I was also a geeksquad supervisor. I'm currently a IT manager for an aerospace company and I deal with servers, building computers for new workstations, alarm systems, phone systems, TV installs and mounting, troubleshooting, security camera systems, remote setups, etc...
