hey, i just took my laptop into best buy for the second time in about 5 weeks. i've got 8 months left on my 3 year service plan.
just a couple of questions 1) if my laptop screws up again, will they really return my purchase price to use toward a new laptop? 2) if i extend the warranty does the lemon policy start over? or carry over? Thanks |

To answer your question, I believe so, but I'm not 100% sure.

The 4th time you take it in, it's considered a lemon and they give you store credit for the purchase price. I believe you lose the warranty or you are given store credit for a percentage amount. Like if you took it in 2 more times and got the lemon policy replacement and there was 6 months left, you would get 6 months of the purchase price of the warranty. They give pro-rated amounts back. I worked for Best Buy, and I just recently delt with them for laptop issues myself. I'm pretty sure that's how it all goes. I know Im right on the 4th visit thing though.
just a couple of questions 1) if my laptop screws up again, will they really return my purchase price to use toward a new laptop? 2) if i extend the warranty does the lemon policy start over? or carry over? Thanks |

ah, thanks for the heads up. looks like i'll just extend the warranty then.
and instead of spending another 2,000 on a laptop, i'd rather put that money toward a gigantic TV, which i think i'd get more use out of. |
