what repair shop senpai

>>55656965
My family owns a repair shop, we see shit like this all the time.

We also get a bunch of stupid shit too.

>guy needs a HDD backup
>his pc doesn't recognize the HDD
>plug it into my computer running Fedora 23
>it's an ext2 drive
>back everything up and give it to him on an external HDD

Easy money

>>55657068
also
>work in repair shop as well
>guy comes in
>wants us to delete his emails
>what
>ok
>sure, we can do that
>1.09 million emails, wish i was joking
>ctrl+a delete
>ez $50

we told him "no thats stuff you can do" and he told us "but i dont want to"

such is life in repair shop located in the ghetto

I see people treating programmers as code monkeys but fucking repair shop sounds a lot like hardware monkeys.
Do you ever get a costumer that knows what he wants/needs ?

>>55657157
>costumer

>>55657157
not OP but rarely. its mostly people calling in or walking in saying they need their iPhone "LED" screen fixed or some ghetto ZTE or motorola phone repaired.

i remember i got a free desktop out of some one because they didnt want it anymore. they just took the HDD.

>>55657157
Sometimes we get stupid shit.

>guy wants a pc for flight sim
>talked to his friends about it
>needs a gtx970 and i7 6700k because he believes those will offer the best performance
>he's an old retired guy with no idea of overclocking
>try to convince him to do a more balanced build
>he refuses

Fucking hell, he even got an asus 970 and asus mainboard.

>>55657098
I work from home and get this shit all the time

Usually a single shortcut on their desktop stopped working and they need me to put it back

Ayy lmao I'm a computer specialist

>>55657228
so many times we run Malwarebytes and get thousands of viruses and adware detected. we get $50 too because thats a service charge

>>55656965
Are you in/around Gainesville FL? I feel like I know the person who owns that laptop and I haven't talked to him in like 6 years.

>mfw "upgraded" a customer from a dead i3 2120 to an a4 7300 last week

They went from a 500GB HDD to a 1tb hdd+240gb ssd though so they'll definitely feel the "upgrade"

>do shit for him, charge cash

>>55656965

Are you really all that surprised over the series of events took place, OP?

>>55661847
>>wants his PC to run 24/7 and has power button tapped
>>says he wants to disable num lock on startup

Something doesn't add up here.

>>55660887

>>55660950
How is el paso this time of year?

>>55662495
Op isn't a native english speaker and doesn't know how to spell taped? Or he can't quite articulate what he meant by "power button is tapped down"?

>>55665243

>we bare all
What did he mean by this?

>>55657098
50 Bucks? We pay up to 800 for easy stuff like that because the guys responsible for getting shit repaired doesn't know anything.

How many of you have had old people bringing in their laptops asking them to be updated to Windows 10 ?

>>55656965

I work in a town of mainly old people. Fucking kill me.

All the failed Windows 10 upgrades were the worst, I made GREAT money out of it, but Christ are senior citizens the worst to deal with sometimes.

>Older Guy in his 50's comes in Monday to book a machine in
>Tell him since I'm the sole technician here that it'll be 4 or so days to get it done
>"Yeah fair enough" and leaves
>Come Wednesday morning he barges in furious saying why isn't his machine done yet
>Tell him I have about 30 other folks PC's to work on before I even get to look at his and I told him this when he signed the booking sheet.
>Yells for a good minute before I put his laptop back in his hands and he leaves

This happens more often than you'd think Jesus. They think that everything can be fixed within 10 minutes and it seriously gives me the shits. At least most people under 40 now understand that repairs/data transfer/recoveries/etc all take time.

>>55662495

>>55665360
I was talking about the discrepancy between "on 24/7" and "disable ... on startup"
