I dropped off my Acer Ferrari laptop at LAPTOPS PLUS in Carlsbad after the DC jack broke. After a week of waiting, I picked up my laptop. The salesman tried fairly hard to sell me a new battery while insisting that mine would not hold a charge. (Which it had just before I brought it in to be repaired.) I stiffly declined, paid the $260 and departed.

Upon arriving at home and using the computer, I found that keyboard was hardly respondant and that I had to literally smash keys three or four times to make them input. I also had to shove the DC plug into the jack in order to power the unit.

After buying a new keyboard to make the computer at least tolerable to use, a strange clicking noise began to sound from inside the case and within a week, the computer no longer booted.

Thanks, LAPTOPS PLUS.

I appreciate your response, John. I'm not sure what can be done at this point due to the age of my complaint. I still have the broken computer and the receipt for service. My e-mail is (((ROR REDACTED))) if you would like discuss this further.

Thanks,

Resolution to any complaints, please contact me directly.

Chris in Carlsbad,

I will research your complaint and follow up with a resolution.

It is unfortunate that as the owner of a multi-store business, I cannot be in all places at all times. I really do my best to create a culture for my employees that fosters a high level of service at a reasonable price. Sometimes there are bad apples.

The previous complainer "Greg" was most likely an employee that I fired after I found out that he was embezzling and not treating our customers appropriately. (Pocketing cash sales, selling his own equipment, etc..) The post came out soon after he was fired, and he used other consumer advocate sites to discredit our stores.

I welcome anyone who has a complaint to contact me directly. I am the sole owner of all three Laptops Plus locations in San Diego and I can be reached at: 619.596.2141 x318 or toll free 877-WOMBOINC (877-966-2646)

I take these matters very seriously, this is my business.
