You make it look as if Samsung is doing something bad, yet a turn around time of less than a month is quite good compared to certain other companies. I hardly think personal opinions that are this biased belong on the front page, no matter what you call them.


I have to agree with Dan here. This is a good topic for a thread, but should not be a topic for front page.

They should still honour their warranty.

Abit did it.

yeah, but Abit and GeCube are quite different companies, GeCube was decent in the 9xxx and x800 days, OK in the x1900 days then slowly has gone to shit since then, and since they pulled out of gfx market they most likely figure theres no point in honouring warranty on stuff they wont be selling anymore(so pissed off customers like you wont cost them anything either way, no future sales to loose you see)

I have seen alot of companies do this kinda thing when they leave a market or sell out, sucks but its how it is, and some "Conservatives" who believe in what they call true capitalism would say thats all good (I know more then one tho think the world should be run by businesses doing whatever they like)

personaly, I feel if you are going to make/sell a product you need to support it, even if you leave that market later, One videocard maker in the radeon 9k days went under/was bought out, rather then sending you referb/new cards from them, they just sent you another makers lite retail box(the one i got was powercolor as a replacement....damn good card)

I think we can all agree that if you arent gonna back your products DONT FUCKING SELL THEM!!!!

The names of the K-Tech owners are Alina and Cristi Fughina, look them up in the phonebooks and ring them to ask about warranty.
Their business made billions on the end-user, now it's time to give back.
