In September of while home on leave (OIF2), I had purchased the laptop from best buy with the three year extended warranty.in late september I had encounter my first problem with the laptop. The wireless card no longer was picking up my network. I took it to best buy under warranty for my first repair. I was without a computer for three and a half weeks.
In june I had taken it into best buy for my second repair. My DVD burner no longer burned DVDs or CDs. Best Buy replaced the burned with a new one and replaced the hard drive. This fix took about two weeks.
When I got the computer back I noticed that the wireless card was not working and one of my USB ports was not functioning properly. I returned the unit to best buy for my third repair where they sent the computer away again to download the proper driver and replace the mother board.
A week later I received and in the paperwork Best buy had stated that the "unit tests to specs". I went home and over the course of the next few weeks i was doing some editing on home movies and tried to burn a DVD. The computer did not recognize the DVD r I was using so I tried a couple of other brand and still no luck... Remember the "unit tests to specs" (I have documentation of this).
So i took back to best buy for the fourth time in about a year to resolve this. Best Buy has a NO LEMON policy where if you have a computer repaired three times on the fourth repair they replace your computer. The geeksquad member told me that they had not put a DVD burner in before but a cd burner dvd rom drive, even though my "unit tests to spec" and that they would fix my computer but not replaceit like their policy states. I am now in school and without my Laptop for another two weeks at least and trying to understand why they would not honor their own warranty.
