I would have never taken it to the Geek Squad six months after buying it. If you bought it new, it would have still been under warranty. The company should have either replaced it or taken care of the repairs. Now that you have had outside work done on it, you may have voided the warranty. Unless it was a ridiculously expensive computer, it sounds as if you have put more money into it than you probably paid for it. I would go ahead and contact the manufacturer and see what they will do. Good luck!!
