I would never trust the snot-nosed 20-year olds that work at Best Buy.

The screen of my 94 year old mother's iPad went really dark. She couldn't figure it out. (Did I mention she was 94?). Took it to the Apple mini-store inside her local Best Buy. The Best Buy "Apple expert" told her it was probably overheated and she just needed to shut it down and let it cool down.

Ummm, what? She tried that to no avail and a few days later returned to Best Buy. The (or another, I'm not sure) "Apple expert" 20-year old told her it was irretrievably broken and she'd have to replace it.

I had another thought and walked her through it on the phone. Yup, sure as heck, she had inadvertently moved the screen's brightness slider down. Slide the slider back over and voila! Fixed!

Yeah- I wouldn't trust any Best Buy snot-nosed 20 year old with hanging my 60 pound 85-inch TV and "hope" they hit the 1.5 inch furring strips correctly for the mount. No way.
