I dropped my laptop off my Geek Squad repairs before we went on vacation. It had a rattle in the monitor.

Their diagnosis for my monitor rattle is that I need a new motherboard and processor.

Hey, if you didn’t want us to crack open your laptop, you wouldn’t have brought it to us. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 12:25
As long as they're paying for it -- nm - budice Nov 3, 12:24 4
- Oh, they quoted me $853 for the repair. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 3, 12:24 3
  - I had a few bent pins on a CPU once and they quoted me $200 to straighten them -- nm - budice Nov 3, 12:26
  - LOL. You’re in new laptop territory at that price point. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 12:25
  - it's a bargain! -- nm - decline Nov 3, 12:25
maybe the processor broke loose from your motherboard and is rattling around in the liquid crystal. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 12:23 4
- isn't that how the Magic 8-ball got invented? -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 12:39
- Seems like it probably wouldn't boot if it were the motherboard and the processor causing the rattle. - The Gossip King Nov 3, 12:24 2
  - Look pal, if you knew the answers you'd already be working at the Geek Squad. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 12:28 1
    - He’s probably venting bits. The fan was running its cycles too hard and dislodged the logic boards. It’ll need to retraced. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 12:32
Big, if true. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 12:22 2
- I think they used our laptop as a pinata. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 3, 12:22 1
  - "Lets hit it until it quits rattling" might not have been the way to go. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 12:23
heh -- nm - decline Nov 3, 12:22
