Slightly misleading headline. It’s just one Geek Squad branch in Portland that screwed the pooch. The article mentions that the other Geek Squad branch they took the computer to correctly diagnosed the problem and fixed it for free.
The again, there are other reasons you might want to avoid Geek Squad and go with a trusted local repair business.

$580 ?
Love to see the line items for this.
A 1TB HDD costs $99 or less now. That leaves $480 for labor? Wow, those guys work slow.
Think I need to open up my own shop at home and make some money like this.
