My boyfriend is the one that talked to them on the phone because I'm mad as hell. It's only $60 but...money's mighty tight right now. He's going to go in and talk to them tomorrow.

if all you agreed to is the diagnostics fee and they are trying to charge you for a full repair, something is shady about them. If you make enough noise they will probably back down and give it to you for the 25. do some online research and see if anyone else has had issues with them

I fix computer for a lot of my friends and their families and I hear stories like this all the time. It pisses me off.

Kinda pissed. Last week I dropped my computer off to be diagnosed, NOT repaired. I just wanted to know what was wrong with it. Just got a call, they're all chipper, "your computer's fixed!" Uh...wtf. so now I can't get my computer back until I pay for the repairs, which I can't afford right now.

I'm going to sound like a heartless bastard, but did you check your paperwork. $60 sounds like a standard diagnosis fee. It might have been they found the problem and it was a quick fix that they handled for free.

I unofficially declare tomorrow to be unofficial Kitten Wrestling Wednesday.

this is why i don't trust repair shops

We did that at Circuit City all the time. $60 was the minimum to even look at a computer, and often we found that a board was mis-seeded, a wire was loose, there was a incorrect startup file, something that took at all of two minutes to fix, and we didn't charge extra (which we were supposed to) for those. Only the $60 diagnosis fee.

you don't sound heartless I'm positive the diagnosis fee was only $25. It's advertised on the front of their store, that's like their main marketing strategy.

If that's the case, and you have the paperwork that shows the diagnosis fee, then they can't keep your computer. If they try to keep it, you can actually call the police to intervene.

Some backpacks have a plastic bag ("bladder") inside to hold liquid. Great way to sneak various liquids into places discreetly.

haha...my buddy put most of a liter of vodka in his camelback last year and we walked right on thru the VIP where they don't check bags...beat the hell out of weak ass $10 mixed drinks all night...lol

We live in Orlando, My husband uses his to get beer into WDW. They ask at security and he always says, It's just water.

Depending on how the bag is made, some have the bladder in an inner lining that you can't even see. So they can open the backpack, look in, and see nothing since the bladder's in a side liner.
