Best Buy up to $300..internet supporters anywhere from $129 to $300.
Has anybody had this? If yes how did you get it removed?

If it has to be a technician or somebody hands on, do you have a recommendation?

My desk top is pretty much not functional and I am using my laptop. I am not sure I want to put up to $300 in the desk top as I have everything backed on on a remote hard drive as well as on my laptop.

Thanx for responses to come...I hope.
