" ...  I called ST and the agent said if the repair was don by authorized repair technicians the the repair could be reimbursed and he asked me to send the bill and the licenses of the repair facility. ... The university, CougarTech Repair ... I thought that this fit the description of certified repair technicians the had been asked for . ... I realize that my daughter and I forgot the plan and had it repaired else where but since the first agent told me it could be reimbursed I surely had hopes the they would cover at least some of the costs (the hard drive and the installation charge).  ...  "
