This is a problem with any industry that contrasts specialized knowledge with public ignorance; it's not specific to IT and computers. Being knowledgeable in the field, I'm able to sidestep the issue as well as protect my family. Even though I'm technically out of the contracting business I still also get regular calls from friends and former clients both, who'd rather pay my fees than deal with the possibility of getting ripped off.
A blown stick of RAM is diagnostically simple. There is absolutely no excuse for misdiagnosing.
