      I purchased a refurbished laptop PC. It is allegedly certified via ********** It arrived with the lid broken. It wasnt done in transit as the box had no damage whatsoever. And it was wrapped in heavy duty bubble wrap. I believe this to have happen prior to shipment. I called them and the solution they offered wasnt optimal. They told me to send it back in for repair. And the repair may take up to 2 weels. I waited approx 2 weeks to receive it. If you do the math well over a month and I needed the machine to complete an important project. I know how to fix PCs so I offered a compromise that I could fx it myself in exchange for a partial refund. The reply that I was received indicated that they dont "think" its possible. I never got a concrete answer. So I bit the bullet and replaced the entire piece not the just shell but the screen as well and i have 1 year warranty. I tried to move on but more and more things was wrong with this item. Battery guaranteed to be 100% was charging up to 30% and at times not at all. I replaced the battery myself. and the charger, So during this time I noticed, more of bad practice than a problem which was uneven loading of the **** I bought new **** more than i had in there, and installed it properly. I did update the Hardrive while I Was at it but thats on me. Now into this item way more than I should be however its working better than it was, It has a **** port so I can project it on my TV and what do you know? The **** does not work at all! Ive emailed them several times over, tried to reach management to only be stonewalled by employees, They will not come to phone either. I got a manager, ****, once. IF that was him, When I write him back, im stonewalled by ****** P who tells your warranty is voided because you fix your PC but claimed to be fwd to management. I Asked for paperwork on the warranty and they not provided it that either. They are Non Profit Org helping the Disabled wl Low Incoem which i am

      Unfortunately, congress has not appropriated more funding to the **** The lack of funding caused the *** to end as of May 1st. PCs for People does not require client's to continue paid service, and per your account you were not charged. But, if you would like to continue service with internet service with PCs for People, the internet would cost a fee. Regarding the service being disconnected, our internet is a pre-paid service, if you do not renew the service prior to the expiration date then the internet service will be de-activated. 

      Password removal on computers are not free, and never have been free. All computer purchased from PCs for People come with a year long hardware warranty. The warranty does not cover password removals.
