I had just bought a new PC from a certain computer store in GH. I brought in my "old" PC para ilipat nila yung info sa hard drive sa new PC. Pagkauwi, ayaw na mag-on ng old PC ko. Ibinalik namin the following day, and sabi nila sira na daw yung video card! I just got that video card nine (9) months ago, plus it was working just fine nung dinala namin sa kanila.
I'm just wondering, may responsibility ba sila sa video card?
I have this gut feeling na linoloko na kami ng computer shop na 'to, palibhasa sa kanila na kami dumederetso everytime we need something.
PS: Yung new PC din na binili namin, it took a whole week to get it running. Guess what was the reason? Yung new video card naman na sa kanila namin binili.

March 23rd, 2007 11:55 AM #2were you able to test your old unit before leaving your suking PC shop? unless mapapatunayan mo na nasira yung card sa shop nila at hindi during transit from GH to your place, hindi ka nila i-eentertain. i hope your card still comes with a valid shop warranty.

March 23rd, 2007 12:04 PM #3try to reseat your video card. If it still doesn't work then its time to get a warranty replacement.
This is tricky, if the computer shop doesn't budge then try my suggestion.
Finally learn to DIY, get a DVD burner to backup your files or an extra hard drive, the peace of mind and safety net it gives will be worth every penny you'll spend.

March 23rd, 2007 01:09 PM #6Negligence ng shop yun. Dapat test muna nila yung old PC bago nila binuksan para makita nila at ng may-ari na walang problema.
Maraming ganyan na technicians bukas ng bukas tapos sasabihin nila na may sira. Katulad ng kasama nating tsikoteer (si GS) ipinunta niya sa Villman sira daw yung video card niya kasi hindi na umiikot yung fan kaya napilitan na siyang bumili ng bago
Baby oil lang katapat ng hindi umiikot na fan kung sira man talaga ang fan may nabibili namang pamalit.

March 23rd, 2007 01:18 PM #7Hindi ba normally 1 year warranty ang PC parts? If its only 9 months old and still under warranty then tell them so.
Still the easiest way will be to DIY. Most PC problems are easily fixed by DIY.

March 23rd, 2007 01:58 PM #8unfortunately, andaming pc shops ngayon na ginagawang 6 months na lang ang warranty period. they earn so much more in the process kasi sa major pc parts distributors, 1-3 years ang RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization). Originally Posted by userfriendly
if the item was returned outside of the shop warranty period but within the distro's RMA period, the distro almost automatically gives a replacement for the busted item - which the shop can repackage as a new unit if not bolted into "new" pc package deals.
better check with your favorite pc shop's warranty guidelines para sigurado na you at least get 1 year warranty for the stuff you buy.

echo ko lang concern ni ess. sabihin mo na sa amin shop name.

Exacto! Hindi na daw umiikot yung fan, kaya kailangan ko na daw bumili ng replacement. Buti na lang hindi ako bumili. When I called their shop up kanina and I sounded pissed, biglang sabi, "ah sige sir, gagawan nalang namin ng paraan", ayun ngayon gumagana na.
The name of the shop is Standard Computer.

March 23rd, 2007 05:29 PM #11Takot ako sa mga ganyang raket, kasi maglalabas na naman ako ng pera kung sakali...
Which is why I try to DIY kung may sira yung home PC ko. Which is also why hindi ko na magamit yun, kasi lalo kong nasira...haaay...

March 24th, 2007 01:03 PM #16Pag sira ang fan may chance na gumana ang video card pero mag overheat yan kaya mamamatay. This means iba ang problem ng old PC mo...
For the new PC dahil hindi napagana ang video card... check mo kung 500 watts ang binigay sayo na PS... kung hindi that means hindi kinaya ng PS yung drain ng Video Card...
And also the brand of the video card matters... pag branded 2 years warranty nyan!
Saka wag technician kausapin mo jan sa problem mo... talk to the owner!
