Q: Questionhow do i get my tv fix from my 2 yr standard greek squad protection

Asked 5 years ago by london.

• A:Answer Just bring in your set with your receipt and go to customer service and they will take it from there as long as it’s still under warranty. You’ll end up getting what you paid for the original set on a gift card and if you want you can buy another TV or whatever with the gift card for merchandise at Best Buy!

Q: QuestionI purchased a 2 year Standard Geek Squad Protection yesterday, 07 August 2020. Can I call up the store where I bought the TV & Protection Plan & ask the Geek Squad to come out to My House & hook it up for Me?

Asked 5 years ago by Russ.

This question was asked about the related product: 2-Year Standard Geek Squad Protection

• A:Answer I'm pretty sure installation is a separate fee from the protection plan. The protection plan just covers if something were to go wrong with the TV functionality (does not include damage due to user error. ie: cracked screen due to flying object.) If you want Best Buy to install it, you will need to pay extra. Unless of course you are a convincing person, and are able to talk them into doing it for free, but probably not.

Q: QuestionDoes Geek squad dismount a tv from a tv wall mount bracket for repair or diagnostic? Or do I need to do that myself prior to their arrival?

Asked 5 years ago by Xavier.

• A:Answer I would definitely wait and have them dismount the tv. That way if anything happens to it in process of dismounting, it will be covered and if necessary replaced. They will definitely dismount anything they are working on.

Q: Questionwhat does the the two year warranty actually cover?

Asked 5 years ago by cokeman5246.

This question was asked about the related product: 2-Year Standard Geek Squad Protection

• A:Answer So for every item it’s different but I’ll list out what it covers and how it’s processed TVs- all but physical damage (TVs over 48 inches someone is sent out the house to do the repair for smaller ones you come in store and it’s sent out for repair) Computers - basically all damage out side of software (laptop is sent out for repair) Appliances- most damages are covered unless it looks intentional (some one is sent out to the house) Small electronics and video games- all damage is covered by replacement in store(you go to customer service and they just replace it with the same item or give you how much you paid for it back
