I purchased a laptop for 500 dollars on Ebay last year. I thought it would be a good thing to have a warranty on it, so took advantage of Squaretrade to the tune of 80 more dollars. The parts and labor were supposed to be completely covered for 3 years. The cooling fans on the back of the unit were failing a few months after having the unit. I called Squaretrade and was told that it was normal wear and tear and wasn't covered. I'm a PC tech. I know what normal wear and tear is. Normal wear and tear would be a broken key, failed HDD, battery that doesnt take a charge after a few years, not cooling fans. I was totally screwed by Squaretrade. I hope they choke on my 80 dollars.
So under no circumstances should you buy a warranty through Squaretrade. Take that 80 dollars and buy dog food with it. It will be well better spent.
