Workshop is set up just for repairing PC's i.e anti static workstation - have all the tools you might need - have all the spare parts if you need any - have a decent internet connection for updates / drivers etc - have test PC for testing clients parts in etc It's a pain in the b... trying to work on a clients PC at their home when they don't have much room etc! |

| 176862 | 2003-09-23 23:07:00 | Personally I really hate Target and that woman with her irritating voice... since when did she ever aprrove or happy with any of the shop or service being tested? From my memory I can't rememeber any one of them get 100% satisfaction. There is always something wrong. | SKT174 (1319) | ||

| 176866 | 2003-09-24 01:40:00 | Although the TV companies claim "no bias" they can't rate well if they show themselves to be impartial, because that makes for very boring TV. That is why we have so many "reality TV" programmes showing people making absolute dorks of themselves, but the TV companies can't see that in showing all these programmes like "Fair" Go, and "Target" and "Going "Straight"", that they are turning off people that have an IQ of over 10. Rant over Chris |

| 176867 | 2003-09-24 02:05:00 | I agree with the others but I think Fair Go does a very good job and is a service to a lot of people. | mikebartnz (21) | ||

Fair go leaves target for dead, target is as I pinted out to the Email group " One of the television network puts on a program on air to catch out the industry and make them look like "dorks" TO IMPROVE THEIR TV RATINGS . " Since I posted that last posting I have had mixed feeling, one has changed but the main unchanged . My bone with Target (unchanged bone), is they tell viewers we know the start, we know the end, we say the middle is a easy solution, then when company's fail to fix they have a laugh !!! Most viewer would not know what a wire did in side their what's it, let alone what anything else did . then customers lose faith when the repair industry, after they have seen target, as some of you have told us . Were I have changed tact is, this is basic microprocessor theory, to put it another way if a TV came in and I began to focus on the microprocessor, I would start checking the power to the micro, the reset line, the oscillator (mind you I have had one oscillator that only runs when you press a customer key switch), then the micro inputs, start removing all the customer control tact switches in case one was leaky by liquid spill, and so . I am sure I would of failed the target computer reset switch, so why did I not transfer my skills over from TV to computer? was it because computer techs don't mend mother boards or it as I first thought this is a very uncommon problem, might be sort of common in TV, not in computer . I suppose the best thing would be to do, if the industry gave themself a "target" type problem often, so when target comes along they have nothing bad to report, I have one going at the moment, I ask a TV group if they would list all the computer components that might go faulty if there was nothing on a computer monitor screen, I have had a few bites from the "reset" switch but not the right answer yet, one person is "intreaged!", another person said it's 99% either the keyboard or the mouse, because it you take those away you would not have a computer problem, I think he is the closest so far :-) . |

With that statement they made i think you would have a pretty good case to take to the broadcasting complaints authority and you'd probably win as they used a general statment that covered All mobile computers repairers, which would impact on yours and others business. | Odin (227) | ||
