I don't because I am doing it for family or friends. If someone brought
their car over to fix the brakes and I broke a seal.
I would tell them hey I broke the seal and you need to take it to someone
better than me.
If I break their PC then I tell them take it to someone better than me. I
really treat it with a back yard mechanic mentality.
Also, most machines brought my way are dead anyways so I am just reviving
them. I usually recover data from bad drives or corrupted OS's not the
other way.

David,
Do you ever worry about someone suing you over the loss of their precious
data? I used to work for Fast Teks, but the local franchise went out of
business within a year of start-up. They had a form that they required
customers to sign before we were allowed to work on their computers, which
is what got me to thinking about it.

I just tell them up front. You get what you get.
I'll do my best to help and that is all I can do.

That's a good question. I've been thinking about doing the same thing
here.

Anyone here do any side work as a PC Tech? I'm looking at doing some side
work to bring in a bit of extra money during tight economic times. I'm
curious whether you have customers sign any sort of release of liability
for
the equipment? I'm just trying to keep from losing money on this by
getting
sued if I take in a piece of hardware and it ends up that it's
unrepairable
or gets damaged worse in my custody.
