Barrister received today
Called and talked to them a couple times and they say they have till the 19th of July to replace it. Talked to one person said they was going to rebuild mine. Called Rachel 985-365-0400 ext 452. She says no mine was being replaced not repaired. Also said they had until July 19th to replace.
July 18
I got a phone call from City Advantage who told me they received an email from Barrister stating it was a software issue and they were returning my computer to me unrepaired.
I told them of course it is software because with all they had replaced they made it software. It was stated to me they were not going to fix it and they was replacing it.
When I bought the warranty from Circuit City they claim if something happens and they can not fix it to my satisfaction they will replace it.
I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney Generals Office in Pa so far. I am not going to stop until I get some satisfaction from them or I die trying.
