No flashing green light comes on the back panel of the PC now when the ethernet cable is plugged in. Is it hosed or is there some way to diagnose an…

PowerSpec B686 ethernet adapter not working (on four units)
Hello, I just got off the phone with tech support (who was very friendly and helpful) - we went through updating drivers for the ethernet adapter and the motherboard LAN adapter(s), with no joy. In short, I bought four B686 Powerspec units in the middle of last year, and all four of them have non-functioning ethernet…

Where's the legacy specs for Power Specs on Powerspec.com
Am I missing something? Where is the legacy spec page on Powerspec.com? I even asked store associates and no one knows. One of the best parts about buying a prebuild Power Spec is you had access to the specs LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG after every other OEM made it impossible to find. I have a 4-year-old PC that I can't find…

Profile Nicknames
Obviously you have to give yourself a nickname when signing up, but when I tried to put in my nickname into a post to answer a question about a computer from MicroCenter it gave an error that the nickname was already taken.

Opportunity for new location in Illinois
Peoria IL has an open storefront where their Best Buy used to be that would be a great opportunity. It is between St. Louis and Chicago so it wouldn’t be particularly difficult for distribution networks and the central location would be attractive to a lot of shoppers that don’t want to travel 3 hours or more for a Micro…

Has Microcenter looked into opening a Tampa Store?
I mean it's long overdue opening a store in Florida but in Miami at the moment is a long haul from Tampa. It's disappointing that the only option on the West Coast of Florida is a Bestbuy and their options are slim and limited. The only options outside of Bestbuy is Amazon or Mom and Pops shops.

Store Location Request
Would like to request or submit a location for a store. Jonesboro, Arkansas. The closest we had was a BestBuy that was destroyed in a tornado and they didn’t rebuild. (Nobody in the center did) They averaged $45million. There are no competitors.
