Faulty Dell Laptop

 
US

Think twice or more before buying from Dell.

Here is a sequence of my experience with them.




Dear. Sandra



Thanks again for contacting us, it' s a pleasure to help you.



Let me inform you that I have review your case and the e-mails sent by you, and according to that, the Lcd was replace before even when the warranty was expired.


This was because as you were explain we were going to cover this issue if happen even when warranty expired but this policy was only for 3 years since the invoice date, that means that since the computer was purchased on January 2nd 2006, the warranty for the LCD problem expired on January 2nd 2009.


We do apologized but this time the lcd cannot be replace, and you might need to buy, but for that needs to call US spare parts, because the computer is register in The United States, the number is 1-800-357-3355 from Monday to Friday from 7 to 8 .



If you need additional assistance or doubt following the previous steps, please let us know referring to case # 646939686



If you consider that your case was not solved, please send copy of this email with your comments to la_unresolved AT dell.com



Kindest regards,

Dear Mr. Oscar Ruano

Since you have made the statement "we can guarantee you that this new problem is not because of that failure" Kindly advise me of what has now caused the same problem with this replacement LCD screen, since this has occurred under normal usage. Why haven't the other competitors' laptops not developed this problem as well and over a much longer period? This will certainly signal the end of my relationship with DELL and I will report this under "unresolved" and file a complaint for supplying faulty equipment, by your own admission " we detect that some LCD's that we use for certain model of computers were going to fail just like the case with the previous LCD" but said nothing, until it manifested itself then and now for the second time.

This will be my last e-mail to you, unless you offer to resolve the problem (same problem) amicably.

Regards

Sandra Vaughn

Dissatisfied Dell customer.

> I have reviewed the e-mail sent by you, and I can confirm you that we have that information that in January of 2008 we sent the replacement of the LCD the reason was because we detect that some LCD's that we use for certain model of computers were going to fail just like the case with the previous LCD, thats why we sent the replacement.

> That was an exception because of that problem. In this case we cannot make the same exception because LCD was already replaced and we can guarantee you that this new problem is not because of that failure.

> In order to get the price of that LCD please contact the sales department and if you want to purchase it you will be able to do it placing the order through the phone.

> Dear Oscar

> You should have noted from the attached stream of correspondence, (please review) that this LCD was replaced free of cost in January 2008, when the computer was already out of warranty. The replacement LCD therefore has only lasted 1 year and 10 months, before developing the same fault. My husband has owned Toshiba and Sony laptops for several years now and not once has he had any similar problem. Is it fair, that the replacement LCD be tagged to the age of the computer?????

> Please let me know what is the cost and installation of the next "short-life" LCD. Sir, I consider your assistance below par, when compared with that of Elka Stanziola,Technical Support Agent, Dell Latin America & Caribbean, who dealt with the matter last year.
