Manufacturer  Warranty Length?

I'm wondering if anyone knows how long the manufacturer warranty lasts? I dropped my phone down the toilet today and even after drying it in rice, the phone still will not turn on. I'm planning on taking it into the Verizon store but am curious as to what they will say. I did not get insurance on it, but the phone is not even a year old. I got it back in October of 2010. A few people have told me that the insurance does not cover water damage but the manufac. Warranty will, and a few people have told me vice a versa. If anyone can shed some light on this for me, I'd appreciate it! Also, It's a samsung intensity II just FYI.

So I got a new battery for the phone, hoping that this was the problem. The original battery, as of right now, when inserted, turns the phone on but it will not load up past the Verizon screen, the key pad lights up but that's it, it just stays on that screen. So I got the new one, upon inserting the new battery into the phone, it will not even turn on. So does this mean it's the phone that's damaged or the battery? Am trying to not take it into the actual store unless there's no chance of fixing it at home.
Assuming the new battery had some level of charge, it looks like your phone is the problem.  You can attempt to charge the battery using the phone to verify as there is nothing to lose.  If the phone charging system is ruined, you will need a new phone anyway.
Sorry for your problem, but the odds of recovery after drowning were slim to begin with.
Good Luck.

  • Bought iphone 5C on December. No additional warranty purchased. The phone keeps not working and the top and bottom right corners look melted. Can I send it in amd get a new one on manufacturer warranty? Or what are my options? Thanks

    I Purchased iphone 5C on December 2014. However now it's very difficult to have it working. The screen is constantly not working and the right side bottom&top does looks like its melted? the cover I mean , which maked the phone slide out of its cover. I did not purchase anny additional warranty or insurance so I don't know what to do with it? Can i send it in and they can send me a new one under the manufacturer warranty or what do i do with it?
    I Have alwa had an iphone but this 5c is making me never have one again. Thanks in advance

    Each iPhone comes with a one-year warranty. You said it looks melted? That's going to be difficult to prove that you did not damage it, and it happened on its own. That is the only way it would be covered.

  • What is a manufacture warranty of the phone?

    Im currently having problems with my z2. The touchscreen is all crazy and non responsive. I tried the repair using sus but it didnt do anything to help. I contacted amazon to see if they could exchange it but since it has passed 30 days since i bought it they couldnt. But they told me that the phone has a one year manufacture warranty And that i should take the phone to sony. Is this true? What do i have to take to sony so they can fix my phone or exchange it?

    Within the warranty period, unless the failure was caused by accidental damage it will be replaced for free. 

  • Sending Insignia TV for Manufacturer Warranty Through BestBuy?

    Hi,
    I purchased a 50 inch Insignia tv from BestBuy almost a month ago and have had problems since day one with the signal shutting down from most the inputs several times per use. Due to a busy schedule I didn't notice how bad the problem was or get around to contacting BestBuy untill apparently it was too late to return it. 
    Anyways, I learned that Insignia offered a manufacturer warranty and was told by a BestBuy employee over the phone to bring the tv into the store and they would send it in for me. Am wondering if this is really the case or if they're going to try to charge me for doing so when I bring it in there?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Josiah,
    Thanks for reaching out to us, and I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your TV.  Although your TV is outside of the return/exchange period it should still be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.  However, with the size of your TV, we'll typically send someone out to your home rather than having you bring it into a store.  If you call 1-800-GEEK-SQUAD (1-800-433-5778) we should be able to set an appointment to have a repair tech come out to your home.

  • Warranty Length for K7N2 Delta-ILSR

    What is the mfg's warranty length on the K7N2 Delta-ILSR?
    I filled out the online support form earlier today but no response as of yet, and me being the impatient rascal I am, I didn't want to wonder all weekend. I bought it October, 2003 and the floppy drive controller seems to have gone out.
    Thanks!
    HH

    Thank you, Glenn!
    Looks like mine is 2 yrs. & 4 months old. Kind of stinks that I lost 5 months on the warranty by going by the mfg. date instead of date of purchase. Its not worth the hassle & would even cost more to RMA it for the controller. Ahh, but this is IT, the "World of Workarounds". I'll live!
    Thanks for your time, Glenn!

    Call them and ask. It will not be free. Abuse and damage are not covered by the warranty.

  • Why does my palm pre not covered under the one-year manufacturer warranty?

    Hello Palm,
    I bought one Palm Pre last month for my brother in China who is a big fan of Palm devices. However, the second week after he got the phone, the phone got very hot once he switched on and he can't access the internet. He doubted the chip of the phone was defective which causes the heat.
    I called Palm Pre customer service in California several times and finally connected to a lady. She said since the phone was used in China and didn't come with a carrier number, they can't repair it and she suggested me upgrading the system. I don't understand why this phone was not covered by the one year manufacture warranty. The lady was not able to give an answer. So I am asking here to expect to have a reasonable one.
    I am really frustrated by this phone problem and need a positive feedback.
    Thanks
    Peggy
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I think their "refurbished only after 30 days" policy is ridiculous. The phone is less than 2 months old, and now I have to settle for a refurb when there's more than one thing wrong with the phone. It freezes, turns off, and restarts even with light usage. It heats up to the point of turning itself off and not coming back on. the speaker just blew, and with the slider open and shut, it wobbles all over the place. This is a great phone, packed with features, although video and/or sound recording would be nice. It is a true all in one device, and does everything. It's just not well made, and the replacement policy stinks. Next time I want a used ph one, I"ll get one on craigslist. I had LG's for the last 7 years, and had a problem once, about a month before the warranty was up, and they sent me a brand new phone. can't see me sticking with palm in the future, unless they fix all the issues with this phone.

  • Droid Incredible - Replacement Under Manufacturer warranty?

    I was curious if anyone has experienced this issue before, and how you went about fixing it.
    For a few months now my Incredible's screen wouldn't lock when the power button was pushed. Usually time, autolocking, or eventually it responding locked the screen (or a reset). Occasionally even the lower lights would flash intermittently, on their own, or the screen would wig out and switch to left or right (like you might gesture it to) without touching it.
    Beyond these myriad problems, the issue finally peaked yesterday evening. The night before I'd plugged it in to charge, but the screen never locked automatically as per the timeout settings it had always operated on. i.e. leave it alone long enough and it'll shut off and return to a locked screen when you try turning it on again. The entire next day, it never dimmed or shut off, per the settings I just mentioned. I thought nothing of it because, it's happened before. After getting it to restart once, it still refused to shut off or lock the screen - so I left it to die hoping running the battery down would allow a restart.
    When I went to plug it in to charge, it only so much as registers in a 'flash' of the HTC Incredible start screen, before shutting off again. It hasn't gone any further since. I thought it might be a faulty charger cable - so I tried my car charger. The same result. Now, the connector for the chargers has been rocky since a few months after I got it - but I've never had a single issue with it not being able to charge. Not until today that is.
    So after this novel my question boils down to - did you have these issues? If you did, what did you to do solve it? Just buy a new handset?
    This phone is under warranty - it will be a full year come December 2011. I also pay monthly for coverage, but the handset is neither lost or stolen. Just refuses to not behave as if it's possessed. Oh, and the best part? Months ago when I tried finding another phone case? I was told the Droid Incredible is no longer carried/made. Should I expect a comparable replacement, or a full retail charge on my card for replacing the phone?
    Fingers crossed the pics and contacts are retrievable.. thanks for your help in advance.

    LDubya, after reading your post I said to myself, wow! The issues your dealing with sound very frustrating and I can understand how concerned you are with making sure their resolved. We are as equally concerned with finding a resolution for your issue. Lets start with the lock functionality of your phone. I was not able to locate the issue with your screen lock as a known issue and we currently do not have a fix for it. The issue with your phone not charging, has been reported and has been lifted up to the manufacture for further investigation. With the charging and battery issue, we are waiting on the manufacture to find out if there will be a fix or workaround for resolving this issue. If they notify us of a fix, we can inform our customers.
    We can check the software on your phone to ensure the functionalities on your device are working properly. The last software update for the Incredible was September 1, 2011. Here is a link below to review additional information regarding the last update and directions to download it to your device. Although some of the benefits of this update do not directly fix your specific issues, updating your phone can often times resolve other minor issues. I recommend, simply checking the software on your phone and updating if their is one available.
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/htc_incredible.html
    Lastly, I want to apologize for not being able to locate the accessory you want for your phone (case). I certainly understand this type of frustration and would like you to know that we request the manufacture to make accessories for all our devices when they are released and as they are being made. Once the manufacture stops producing the phone because we no longer carry it or because they are making a newer version, they also stop producing accessories for that phone. This would not warranty a replacement.  However, all the issues you mentioned aside from the case may warranty a Certified LIke New Replacement of the same model, if your phone has no physical or water damager. 
    You can send me a private message to assist you with trouble-shooting and replacement options or you can call customer service at 1-800-922-0204 from an alternate phone. 
    I listed the steps to a factory reset as a last option but remember, performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications. 
    1) From the home screen, select the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
    2) Select Settings.
    3) Select SD & phone storage.
    4)From the Personal data section, select Factory data reset.
    5) Select the appropriate option:
    -Reset phone
    -Resets the phone
    -Reset phone & Internal storage
    -Resets the phone and the internal storage 
    6)Select Erase everything.
    7)Perform initial activation.

    I've bought a macbook pro from a local computer store, it was used.

    Will I still be able to bring it to Genius Bar at apple store?
    You can always bring it to a Genius Bar at an Apple Store. For both in-warranty (no charge) and out-of-warranty service (usually paid of course). For in-warranty service, nothing should stop you from making an appointment because you are fully entitled to it.
    You should be checking with Apple, not us, for warranty eligibility information.
    Apple even has a web page where you can check the serial number yourself right now. Go here and put in your serial number:
    Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    But again, even after the warranty runs out, you should have no fear of taking it to a Genius Bar. In the worst case scenario, they will simply say it is not covered but can usually still fix it for a fee. In the best case scenario, Apple will sometimes (no guarantees) perform service on out-of-warranty devices at no charge. Even my friend's out-of-warranty Mac Pro. So you do not need to check here. Verify warranty eligibility on the web site, then bring it in to the Apple Store.

  • Faulty k8n neo platinum? warranty length?

    Ok i thought the reason why my pc kept blue screening and not being able to run at standard memory rates was cause of shitty kingmax memory so bought 2gb mushkin extreme performance ddr500 ram then i thought it was the power supply but i just installed a new tagan one that combines the rails to 33a.  Ive tried different graphix cards, os's, bios's so its down to either the motherboard or the cpu.
    The blue screens are completely random if that helps
    Ive tried everything i always thought that the reason why i could never get my ram working properly was because it wasnt good but now im convinced it has to be either the motherboard or cpu.
