Why is there a large fee for tech support?

I was getting pop ups and pages not requested. I called the tech support on the information paper that came with the note book. (After reading the comments, I think I may have problems in the future).it took me and the tech  four hours to fix the lap top. They wanted to charge me $150 for the services . My lap top may be 4 weeks old.I told them I couldn't'afford that price, I was asked what could I afford? There is something wrong with this manner of doing business. 

Hi,
Where did you call ? HP or somewhere else ? For HP, I believe should be no charge because it's still under warranty and less than 3 months. For somewhere else, I don't know. My department normally pays $1,600.00 for each call (for the first 4 hrs) for some vendors if out of agreements.
Regards.
BH

  • Why is there a service fee for repairs n

    This will be my 3rd RMA in my short period of owning a Zen Micro. When I was re emailed by creative, they said I needed to pay $25 for a service fee.
    Why is there a service fee for repairs now for common problems such as the infamous earphone jack?

    The tariff guide still says
    Installation, Activation & Equipment Charges Activation Fee
    All new BT TV customers will be charged a £35 activation fee.
    Any existing BT TV customers taking a new set top box will also be charged a £35 activation fee.
    Optional Engineer Install (Box service only) The charge for the engineer install option is £35. Optional Broadband Extenders (Box service only)
    The charge for one set of optional Broadband Extenders is £35
    So if you can't get the precise order you want online why not phone the BT customer options team and place your order that way.

  • Is there an email address for tech support?

    I would like to find an email address for tech support. I am having many problems with my phone and it would be easier to email then call.

    What menu button? Do you mean the Home button (the only button on the front)?
    Apple iPhone support is here -> http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/contact/
    Do you live near an Apple Store? Much simpler to take it there.

  • Why is there a installation fee for BT TV?

    Hello
    I've been with BT for six months and want to get BT TV. 
    I'm not able to get BT TV on my old talk talk you view box so I want to get the BT you view+. I'm happy enough to pay the £35 activation fee but don't understand why I should have to pay a £35 installation fee. Trying to purchase the box on the BT website there isn't an option to decline the installation fee. 
    I know installing it is just a case of replacing my old talk talk box with the new BT one so why should I pay an engineer £35 for the privaledge.
    Any help or advice appreciated

  • Why does Apple, one of the most profitable corporations of the decade, require a $19 fee for tech support on a simple matter? I am appalled.

    Because it is ran by a bunch of egotistical, money sucking ********.

    Because it costs money to provide support. You have 90 days of free telphone support with a new device. Apple does provide this forum for resolving problems at no additional cost.
    You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store at no cost

  • HT2052 Does anyone have a solution to getting my iPod touch 1st generation to show up in iTunes without having to pay a big service fee for tech support?

    I have an iPod touch 1st generation.  Up until the last update it was recognized in iTunes and now it will not come up in iTunes at all.  Don't feel like I should have to pay $100 every times iTunes updates and there is a problem with it recognizing my iPod.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I have uninstalled iTunes half a dozen times and done everything they recommended including replacing my USB cable, nothing works. 

    It is an iTunes problem
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    Is there really not an email address for tech support? ( I really do not want to waste time being put on hold on the phone.)
    However, I have 3 Issues Regarding iPad 2 with IOS 7:
    1.)  I can no longer open up the apps from the update page. (I used to be
    able to & it was a quick way of making certain that I wanted to keep an app
    before I updated it.
    2.)  I have many apps that I have updated since installing the new
    operating system & they now have "open" symbols next to them, but I don't
    know how to get them off of my update list (since that has already been
    done to them).
    3.)  My iPad has gotten stuck or frozen more in this last week since the
    new update then has in the last 2 years put together. (It seems to be stemming from the "Updates" page as sometimes  that page is just white & will not open, even though everything else opens & I have an internet connection.)

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Aperture 3 update.  Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but: Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?
    I realize you can delete retouch strokes, but they are in linear order so you often have to delete useful ones to go far enough back to get the one that you've decided no longer works.
    I would rather have the ability to erase strokes back to the original image, much like the way the History Brush works in Photoshop, and indeed the eraser tool works in many other Aperture bricks.
    Example, I retouch an eye, and then move on to retouch an ear.  Then I decide I don't like the eye brush strokes.  In order to remove one stroke on the eye retouch, I have to delete all the successful brush strokes I've made to the ear (i.e. those that came after the stroke I wish to remove from the eye).  This is needlessly complicated and inefficient.
    Many of other bricks in Aperture have an eraser tool to selectively remove brushstrokes.  Why not the retouch tool?
    Also, many other bricks in Aperture allow for stacking or layering bricks of the same adjustment with different brush choices.  Why not the retouch tool?
    Am I missing something?

    We are just users here.  Feature Enhancement requests need to be made via Apple's official approved channel.  You can get there from within Aperture by clicking "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".
    Retouching (and cloning) involves not just applying a transformation to the selected pixels, but basing that transformation on _other, non-contiguous_ pixels sampled from the image.  This leads me to think that there may be intractable technical problems setting up the kind of workflow you propose.

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.
