    I was having a motherboard replacement and 2 guys came the main tech and a trainee .
    The trainee was being overshadowed but just watching him was unbearable. He was putting my case together backwards and couldnt figure it out even though a pre-k kid playing with blocks could. Next up was the main shocker the main tech told him install the LCD screen next, and he picked up the dvd drive :eek: ......."Is this the screen"?......no comment.

    He must be a new guy and I think they shouldn't let him touch the laptop, just look and let the technician work if he's not prepared.
    I remember the first time i went with a technician to a customers house, he just sat there and made me change the motherboard and do almost everything, but I was prepared and quite skilled already :D

    Shens. Not even a complete computer illiterate would confuse an lcd screen with a dvd drive.
