Dead/brigh​t pixels - not covered under warranty??​???

I contacted hp about my brand new beats audio special edition laptop having a couple of dead pixels and was told they do not cover the lcd touchscreen under the warranty - what is that???? it is hardware and if it has a couple dead and bright pixels in the first week then what will happen over the next year? I dont have $600 to throw out every couple months for a new laptop and am very angry at this response ......

Thanks for the help , though it may be too late( not your fault at all , but the tech support) . I was contacted through pm and responded with the requested info . The problem is my return window ends Monday and I am hesitant to wait any longer after my experience yesterday. I am finding it hard to trust in hp after being told the LCD panel is not covered under warranty and then getting a email from chat support that said my issue was a bright screen and they fixed it by updating the video driver(neither one true) . To top it off I could not even respond to the email because it was sent from a unmonitored address and it said if I had any "other" issues I should go back on chat again . This is the worst customer service I have ever received.

  • Genius told me that my power adapter was NOT covered under warranty. ?????

    Not too happy with my Apple store as of late. First I bring in my defective iPhone power adapter for a replacement and was told I had to schedule an appointment with a "Genius". I guess it takes a genius to plug in a power adapter and see that it doesn't work. Of course the next available appointment was 2 days away. So....I leave, make an appointment, come back 2 days later and the Genius tells me that the power adapter is not covered under warranty. Is this correct???? This is crazy. He actually told me that I could just buy another one there for $29 or find one on Ebay.
    I don't even really have much use for the power adapter, but I find it very hard to believe that it is not covered under the same 1 year warranty as the phone.
    Is this true?
    Thanks.

    I have had to deal with the "genius bar" for 4 weekends straight now, with one more weekend to go. All to simply get my Apple iPhone bluetooth replaced. They gave me a refurbished one which was still broken, and they didnt know how to even use their own software to do the rma. So far my worst experience with a store in a very long time and I have no plans of doing business with Apple through one of their "genius bars" ever again. Heck, I had to show the so called iPhone genius how to pair the headset with the phone. Quite pathetic.

  • T60 Keyboard not covered under warranty?

    Here is a bit of an annoying Lenovo update. Keyboards are no longer covered under warranty. I have a 3-year warranty, but can’t claim my key-board… What is that about? The letter K shifted and came off – one of the lease used keys. Apparently they just changed this last week, but be a common problem as they had none in stock and it just gets better the good news is that it cost between $150 – 180… the guy could not nail down a price for me… Apple is looking better all the time!

    I have already contacted the local Service Center and they are adamant on saying that I need to pay for the replacement of the front glass.
    My question;
    1. I have repeatedly told that my handset has an INTERNAL crack, which has appeared without any fall or impact. I believe that it is a design fault for which I SHOULD NOT be penalized.
    To support my words, I find that similar issues have been reported for the same model across the globe;
    http://conversation.which.co.uk/technology/sony-xperia-z-cracking-phone-screen-replacement-repair-wa...
    Mine is not the only case wherein such cracks have developed. In UK, Sony has already confirmed this issue and agreed to replace the faulty units free of cost. Please read the link below and watch the video as well.
    http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/05/30/bbcs-watchdog-investigates-xperia-z1-cracking-screen-issue-sony...
    If in UK, this issue has been owned up by Sony company, should the same not be done in India, as ultimately it is Sony and region should not be a bar for taking such decisions especially in case of design flaws.

  • Mobile not covered under warranty for hairline INTERNAL crack appearing without fall or any impact

    Job No. W115041604910
    I own a Sony Xperia Z1 compact mobile, which I purchased on 29th July, 2014, and around 11th April, 2015, I started to face touch screen problem in the middle region of my mobile. I was playing games on my phone when this issue cropped up.
    The issue was very strange as at times the phone would start typing on its own on security pin screen. This lead to all my data being erased!
    Later, I noticed that the lower part of the front screen of my mobile had a hairline crack - this was strange as my phone did not have any fall or any impact that would result in an INTERNAL hairline crack with no impact on the exterior of the screen. 
    I took my mobile to the authorized Sony service center in Koramanagala (Vigneshwar Services) on 16th April, 2015 and on 23th April, 2015 I was provided an estimated bill of Rs. 6000/-.
    When I escalated the case by writing to "[email protected]", after multiple call and email exchanges, I was provided the "management" response on the Sony letter head stating that "the display was broken and needs to be replaced for satisfactory working of the set and the service estimate for the faulty part is Rs. 6007/-."
    I declined to approve the amount for my repair, as my phone is within the warranty period.
    Please go through the spec of Sony Xperia Z1 Compact on the below website, where it clearly says that the display is shatterproof;
    http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1_compact-5753.php
    Firstly, since the Spec claims that the glass is shatterproof, the crack on my mobile does not void the warranty.
    Secondly, since the hairline crack on my mobile has appeared under "mysterious" circumstances and not a result of any fall or human error on my part, I decline paying any repair cost for my mobile. Also, this is an INTERNAL crack only, which will not appear due to a fall.
    Thirdly, I should not be penalized for the faulty design issue for this model of Sony mobile.
    At one point I would patronize with brand Sony, but sorry to say that is no longer true due to the trauma in dealing with Sony Service Center and Bangalore Regional Office. 

    I have already contacted the local Service Center and they are adamant on saying that I need to pay for the replacement of the front glass.

  • Lightening cable iphone 5 shows peeling and the service provider says not covered under guarantee.I can see this is a clear case manufacturing defect.What is the remedy

    I find the lightening cable that came with the iphone 5 showing peeling of rubber .
    I had taken it to the local support (service point) who says it is not covered under warranty.
    As an engineer I can vouch that this is a clear case of material defect.
    What is my remedy
    T.Srinivasan.
    Chennai India

    I had taken the Iphone 5 with lightening cable under warranty to the service supporter here in Chennai India and after logging in the complaint the support engineer had informed me that the same claim was rejected.
    This happened a couple of months ago and now I find almost the entire cable has peeled off (Insulation).
    Initially I thought there perhaps was a chance for handling (carrying etc in your laptop bag) that could have caused the same.Now I am convinced that the material defect is the problem.
    Is there a way to bring this to the attention of Apple by email probably with a photo for them to appreciate my problem as the service support engineer authorised is unable to appreciate the problem.
    Thanks for your reply

  • Vibration not working [under warranty] Lumia 920

    Hi,
    I have a lumia 920 and my vibration doesn't work and also i have my glass broked (touch works perfectly), but vibration started not working a lot of time after that accident.
    An employee of the Nokia service center told me that my problem of vibration is not covered under warranty because the glass is broken. On the internet it says that the vibration's problem is a manufacturing error.
    I think is fair that the problem of vibration since it is proven to be a manufacturing defect will be fixed under warranty! Am I wrong?
    [I've tried soft and hard reset and did not work]
    thx you for help

    The problem is that the service centre has no way of knowing that the vibration issue occurred before you broke the glass. Most manufacturers will declare a warranty void when there are signs of physical damage.
    All you can really so is discuss it further with the service centre or contact Nokia directly in your country and submit a complaint.

  • HT1349 I would like to know if the power lock button is covered under warranty.

    I would like to know if the power lock button is covered under warranty.

    couple of quick questions, when was your purchase date I.E. are you within 90 days of purchase, if so i suggest calling iOS/iPhone support, as you're within your 90 days of complimentary phone service and they could answer the question along with getting everything set up to for a repair, either through mailing in, or with an appointment at your closest apple retail store. also, did you get the applecare+? that covers two incidents of accidental damage for about 49 dollars to replace, as opposed to the price of an uncovered replacement which can start at 4 times as much. if its not accidental damage, you should be covered.
    -full disclosure: these views/statements not endorsed/approved/etc by apple, just my own working knowledge from publicly available information.

  • Problem with the speakers on iPhone 4s; is it covered under warranty

    The speaker on my iPhone stopped working. How to fix or is it covered under warranty?

    If the phone wasn't abused or water damaged, all parts are covered by the warranty.  It's up to Apple to determine whether the phone was subjected to physical abuse - no one here can tell you.
    Before taking it to Apple, try the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:  Restart, Reset, Restore using a backup, Restore as new, without using a backup.

  • Process for billing the customer if the repair does not fall under warranty

    Hello,
    I got one issue related to repair process, We have restricled the item quantity to only one at item categoty level. BUt i am facing the below problem with my cklient
    what is best practice for billing the customer if the repair does not fall under warranty?
    Please suggest which process i suggest to client

    Hi there,
    When you mean warranty, where is that updated in the system? In any master data or Z table?
    Usual practise is basing on the serial num of the material. From the serial num, users will be able to back track from which sales order this material is initially delivered to the customer. The info is stored in standard tables (for eg EQUI)
    One way of doing this is to define a 100% discount condition type in your pricing. Thsi discount will apply only when the customer is in warranty. For this you will need to write a code in teh requirement routine for that condition type in V/08. If warranty is stored in a Z table, then call that Z table & compare it with your sales order. If yes, only then 100% discount will apply & repair cost will be zero. Else, repair charge will be billed to customer.
    It depends how your business will monitor repairs. If they raise a service order, then you will need to define a service pricing procedure in which you will include the 100% discount. In this case service order is always referenced with ref to a sales order.
    Regards,
    Sivanand

    iPhone warranty isn't worldwide, if you have a problem with it then you are likely to have to return it to Australia : Australia warranty :
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
