Thank You Lenovo!

Question

A big thanks goes out to Lenovo.
Thank you for selling me a defective A730 for $1,500.00.
Thank you for first making me factory reset it to no avail.
Thank you for sending out the technician that replaced the hard drive and left, leaving me to install the recovery disks for 4 and a half hours and then updating 93 Windows 8 updates, drivers, software, virus protection, etc, etc. 
Thanks for when the computer restarted it's now missing drivers, missing software that originally came with it and having the same exact issue as when I called the day I took it out of the box.
Thanks for your tech team telling me I have to actually re-install the recovery disks, AGAIN!
Thanks for making me wait 3 business days to actually get anything initiated with your group.  IE; three days for the local tech to call me, 3 more days for the disks to arrive and now 3 more business days to have someone from higher up even look at my case number so you can call me back and tell me "I" have to sit there and re-install the recovery disks just to get my 4 month old machine up and running again.
Thanks for not offering me a replacement. 
Thanks for not offering me reimbursement.
Thanks for gladly accepting my $1,500.00 and in return giving me a computer that never worked correctly, doesn't work now and have zero chance of every recovering my data lost, my time lost and all the aggravation and frustration.
Thanks for giving me the hope that maybe $1,500.00 to spend on a computer would actually give me reliability and the sense that I made a wise choice.
Thanks for selling me the most expensive machine I ever bought and in returned got one of the worst experiences I've ever had with any company I've ever dealt with. 
Thank you for all of this.  You should all be so proud.

Hi jcl6543,
     Right off the bat, I want to tell you that I do not work for Lenovo, and I'm only responding because I had that "Windows Provider" problem you listed in your other post, on my A520. Is this the same problem you are encountering again now, or do you have some other hardware issue?
     First, you mention that your "solution center says there's an issue with the Windows Location Provider on my IdeaCentre A730 All in One" Is this link the "Solution Center" you are talking about?
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/diagnose-and-fix/detail.page?LegacyDocID=LENV-DIAGS
     If it is, please note that the Solution Center is not supported for your A730. I've tried to get it working on my A520, and failed. Well..., it may work for a few days, then crash after some Lenovo update. All in all, you shouldn't put any faith in what the solution center is telling you. It will drive you crazy, as it was not meant to be used on our All-In-Ones.
    As far as the Windows Location Provider error, have a look at the MS answer site: (Read all 3 pages)
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/windows-location-provider-not-w...
     This is how I fixed my error. IIRC this driver is not a Windows driver. It "should" be provided by Lenovo in their driver package. I think after I deleted the driver, it was reinstalled from one of the Lenovo Dependency updates. So make sure you have an Internet connection during the reboot, and you have the update enabled. The last Dependency update was::
 Dependency Package Update. Product Version: 1.6.25.00. Product Language: 1033
     Once again, I'm only trying to help you out. I think that everyone who makes an investment of 1.5K for a computer expects their machine to work "out of the box" flawlessly! 
Cheers
