Appointment set, but waited for 10 minutes and no one appears. Others also waiting. Knock no one comes. Flag a manager, he says he will check, he disappears. After 25 minutes left service department having seen no one.

I selected an ASUS monitor upon the recommendation of the sales associate, couldn't be happier with it. It is WQHD and on a swivel stand, this monitor has been awesome for WFH. Monitors now the ASUS include USB-C charging and this really clears up the desktop as the monitor will charge the MacBook.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Do they have knowledgeable techs who can help those of us who are not as tech savvy?

Diane McIntosh | Oct 6, 2020
Rob Warren | Oct 6, 2020

Most of the time yes, also a lot of tech savvy people shop there so you can always ask someone if they know what you need. One thing is they will hound to help you if you're just browsing since they all want to put a sticker on your purchases.

Ate you sure it's not a switching power supply? There is a switch in the back that allows it to go from 230 to 110. Most computers have them. Just look!

When I try to turn on the motherboard I can only hear a small buzz like if it tried to turn on but still no power to anything PLEASE HELP! I have a Gigabyte B450 Aorus M Gaming and a ryzen 5 1600 please reply I need help

FH Rigo | Oct 7, 2019
Tae Kim | Oct 7, 2019

Three questions, 1)Is the fan on the cpu blowing? 2)Did you connect the two power plugs to the motherboard? (A 2x2 and a 12x2 pin) 3)Did it worked before or is this your first test? *I think the noise could be inductance winding similarity to what you hear outside from a power transformer if it is coming from your motherboard.

Peter Mentis | Feb 8, 2022
Evan Trumbull | Feb 8, 2022

The Dell DW316 External USB Slim DVD ±RW Optical Drive 429-AAUX is supported by Windows 11, as is the LG Electronics 8X USB 2.0 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer Drive +/-RW External Drive with M-DISC Support (Black) GP65NB60. If neither of these work, I recommend visiting Microcenter's PC department.

Go by the store. People are helpful and knowledgeable. Make sure you take your receipts even if they aren't Microcenter reciepts. Receipts give the people there ways to reassign the charge for a replacement battery if that is possible.

If you are just looking to protect against a few second power loss you don't need too large of a ups. If you want something that will keep you going during a blackout, thats a different story. Micro Center has a good selection of inexpensive ones.

The sales rep was very knowledgeable about everything i would need with the correct specs to make it all work. My son was able to build a rockin solid tower from scratch with just what the sales rep recommended based on our stated needs. Thats all i can say for my location. I've been there alot and i don't remember seeing any refurbished or made to order. They definitely have prebuilt systems though.

I have a Bose speaker system for my PC. It is a 3 piece system consisting of a box and 2 smaller speakers with plug for head phones. I purchased an all-in-one PC where there is no place for a plug-in. Are there wireless speakers of this caliber?

Jess Thomas | Oct 7, 2019
Nate Swetland | Oct 7, 2019

Are you sure your all-in-one doesn't have the right connections? Normally all you need is a headphone jack. Otherwise, you can get USB sound devices that will allow you to hook up speakers to them. I would take a picture of the ports on the back of your computer and take it to the store and explain what you are trying to do. Otherwise, you will probably need to look at Bluetooth or USB wireless speakers

Jesua G. Dubon | Oct 7, 2018
Chris R | Oct 7, 2018

We may suggest better components, especially if you state that you want the computer to perform very well in the latest video games. But we don't try to sell you something you can't afford; you'll just end up returning it and then we lose money. The beauty of Micro Center is that you don't need to know exactly what components you need. We'll suggest the parts that'll do what you want to do - so it is good to know what that is. We'll offer some helpful advice so you can build it yourself, or for $150 we can build it for you.
