Default Lazy repair

Same Day Computer sounds like they take the same approach that I have heard from phone support services. We'll just blow everything away and start over. This is like having a bad spark plug and the mechanic telling you to replace the whole engine. This is fast and efficient - for the repair service only. That's probably why they can offer it fixed the same day.

It often takes longer to diagnose and fix the specific problem but the integrity of the machine is maintained. Any time a repair service tells you that you will loose all your data get a second and third opinion before you buy into it.

In this case the problem should have been easily found by any competent repair shop.
