Re: [BVARC] PC repair
Check out any BEST BUY "GEEK SQUAD" Just Google: "GEEK SQUAD" for closest location. I've used them several times, they will make HOUSE CALLS if unable to bring to a "Best Buy" location. D.

Re: [BVARC] PC repair
Yes indeed. When I had our computer stores, I had huge anti static mats on the work benches with wrist straps to the mat. Never had an issue. 73...bruce Sent from my iPhone On Oct 26, 2021, at 5:27 PM, Michael Monsour via BVARC wrote: There are places that do not recognize that static discharge will destroy electronics.

There is a reason they are known as Idiot Squad in the IT world. They break more than they fix and overcharge for it. I have had to fix their “fixes” for friends and family.
