Computer Repair Center

I read the reviews which were all good, and after meeting Tom and explaining that the screen on my HP laptop was flickering and unwatchable, felt good leaving it in his hands. I also explained that I had seen several videos on «You Tube» which identified the problem as a bad cable. Tom called me 2 days later and said it was ready. He told me he cleaned the laptop up and the problem was resolved. $ 200.00
I took it home and the very next day the screen was flickering again, Powering up the laptop in his store I duplicated the issue and Tom said it was probably a bad screen, I reminded him of the bad cable video. He called me later that day and told me while he was removing the casing the screen broke right through the center. I asked him how much would this cost to repair and was told another $ 200.
My first reaction was not to put another $ 200 into a 18 month old laptop but he assured me it was worth it. I told him to go ahead. 2 days later I picked it up and the very next day the problem was still there. By this time you can imagine I was furious and was waiting for him to open the store the next morning.
Again I showed him the problem and he agreed that it was probably the cable, and he would order the part and to give him 5 days and it would be «on him» After a few days I called to check on it and he said «Oh it was ready the next day» I went back and asked what he had done, and he said nothing it was all good. I was somewhat confused and asked why he didn’t replace the cable? he replied he didn’t have to as it was ok. I told him that I hoped for his sake that it was fixed as after $ 400 in repair bills and he never addressed the bad cable was very frustrating. I also told him that I was going to write a very unfavorable review on Unilocal if it was not fixed. Well ladies and gentleman here we are 4 days after I picked it up and on the 3^rd day the problem returned, screen flickering just like it was $ 400 ago. I am bitterly disappointed as I always try and give my business locally, my wife saw my frustration and anger and bless her heart she bought me a new laptop. Now I have a $ 400 paperweight, maybe I should put it on Craigslist. BTW he never called to follow up after the last repair to see if it was working, not very good customer service
