The problem is, an AOC 5En monitor malfunctioned last Sept 16,2008. I thought it was just a power cable glitch (loosen or something), when I checked it out the Power cable seems undetachable. On further look, it was much worse...the power cable (which came in with the package) was melted and the socket was burned. This is the first time I've encountered such problem (i've had a lot of AOC monitors before). I checked the other components attached on the PC, all else was fine except for the monitor. I believe the one i've recieved is a defective product. A few months back (2 months after purchase), I've heard irking sound on this monitor...I thought it was just the AVR, but now I know..it was the monitor burning away its power cable.
Do note, ang uban units wala jd naka-experience og ing.ani... nya ang circuit sa cafe was installed by a VECO credited electrician...all wires and outlets were properly installed and checked.
Now, ako ni-gpadala sa PC Express last Sept 16, 2008 kay under warranty pa mn ni (Last Jan 2008 pa ni gpalit)... They said na, dili cla muaccept og warranty ani kay "Burn out" man daw... Burnt = Physical Damage = No warranty. But I explained this to them and they decided to ship it to manila (supplier) para macheck and probably ma-credit ang warranty sa supplier. 2 weeks+ passed...
Cge ko follow up sa status sa ako unit... Ako gsuwayan og call ang PCX karn adlawa, and the guy in-charge told me na di jud daw mada sa warranty ang unit matud pa sa Supplier kay nadaot daw ang mainboard sa monitor. And the cost to repair the unit will be Php 2,100!!!! WTF..wa cla nabuang?!!, tabla man sad ko mupalit og bag.o monitor ana (dungag nlng gamay)..
I think i'm going to forward this concern to DTI...this is not good, the Unit was defective and they're not plying to replace it. Do note that AOC has 3 years warranty on their monitors..
