My laser printer also fried during the recent power surge I mentioned on here a while ago. I was pretty bummed about it until I fished out the receipt and discovered that by some wild miracle or uncharacteristic spasm of responsibility and forward thinking, I had purchased "Geek Squad" damage protection for it. So I hauled the thing back to Best Buy today.
The thing originally cost me $120 (yeah I really push the boat out when it comes to printers, no expense spared) but they told me they didn't carry that line anymore. Instead, they gave me store credit for the next model up which was $170. Score! I got store credit and was told to hot foot it to another Best Buy location because that one didn't have any in stock. Luckily it was only a short subway ride. Got there to find out that they have reduced the model in question to $110. So not only did I get a better printer but I'm also up $60 on the deal. That'll teach them to mess with me!
