• A:Answer per Best Buy FAQ's: Yes, you have 60 days after your purchase to add Geek Squad Protection, including standard Geek Squad Protection Plans, Plans with Accidental Damage from Handling, and Product Replacement Plans. You may add the applicable Plan on your Purchase History page. To add a Plan with Accidental Damage from Handling or a Product Replacement Plan, you'll need to bring your item into a Best Buy store.

Q: QuestionI dropped my laptop and the cover closes, but there is a slight gap on one side, making me think that the lid or body is slightly bent. I assume that my one year accidental Geek Squad protection will cover repair - is that correct?

Q: QuestionIf you upgrade components in your laptop, does the protection still stand?

Asked 6 years ago by Upgrading.

This question was asked about the related product: 1-Year Accidental Geek Squad Protection

• A:Answer Great question! In most cases, upgrades to internal components must be performed by an authorized service center (such as Geek Squad) so as not to void the Geek Squad Protection plan or manufacturer warranty of the product. Feel free to schedule an appointment with the Agents at your local Best Buy to go over more options at: www.geeksquad.com/schedule.

Q: QuestionI just purchased a laptop from your website. I added 1 year accident protection for $189.00. After receiving my order confirmation, I see there is a 24/7 protection plan available for $199.00. Would I have been better off getting the 24/7 protection ?

Asked 7 years ago by Pam.

This question was asked about the related product: 1-Year Accidental Geek Squad Protection

• A:Answer The Total Tech Support which I have had for over a year now is largely a sales hype. The 24/7 assistant is a chat available only person someone without ANY useful information, each & every time I have contacted them, including tonight. The chat sessions invariably want lots of info from YOU and then direct you to call the store or schedule an appointment. I tried using it again tonight. The in store tech support is occasionally helpful and often useless. Oh well. In house consultations are also just hype, but that is another topic. The Total Tech support is Supposed to be about "accessibility" does Not include repairing a defective device (it is more for dumb questions of computer illiterate people, and God Forbid you try to improve your security; you get the "most people do not have hackers or need to worry about security", wow, what amazing information that is! and what a dismissive turn off, to hear from someone who does not want to improve my security.) The protection plan for one year is a results driven functional warranty but if the device has a one year warranty then you Do Not Need it. The GS will send devices off , in my experience, so you might as well, send it off to the manufacturer , insured, and hound them.
