Computer repair fraud, yeah its out there. Although I think a lot of it is just incompetence.
A loose ide cable should be an easy fix that is for a honest tech that knows what he is doing. At 1:33 in the video there is a shot of the screen with a voice saying keyboard failure. The keyboard failure had nothing to do with the ide cable, but if does show the primary hard disk not found which would point to the problem. For the ‘broken’ computers they are using Dell OptiPlex 110’s, computers we have at work although we use towers and theirs were desktop models.
In the news report there seemed to be this tone that $59.99 was too much to pay for such a simple fix. I don’t agree with that. How much does a plumber or electrician cost for 5 minutes of work. It can easily be $75 if not more since it is usually an hourly charge. Read more
