content: Anything Geek Squad is qualified to fix, a capable user can fix [...]  You haven't dealt much with the average public, have you? I have dealt with people that don't even know what a power cord is, let alone a power supply, heat sink, BIOs, or registry. That said, about the only reason I'd take something to them is to avoid voiding a warranty. In practice, though, I don't think I will ever take anything to them, even if they weren't blabbing to the authorities about everything they see. At the bare minimum I'd fully expect them to rummage through all my files to try to find something.
