ilisan ka ug bag-o kung w/in 7days imo iuli....kung molapas na,30-45days imo huwaton kay ayohon pa sa service center.....for ACER products.

i would still suggest using other OS, specifically ubuntu or other compatible live-cd's jst to rule-out if its really a hardware failure or driver problems---but seeing that dpc-latency checker has erratic graph as he says i would say its indeed driver issues and/or hardware incompatibilities...

my desktop PC also had this erratic dpc latency graph when using win7 32/64-bit and was only a bit stable if i dont use the onboard Marvel Yukon lancard and disable it in bios, so ive waited for an updated driver and since then, Win7 is stable...

mao jud ni kasagaran policy. if madect dayon nimo ang defect within 7 days ilisan ka ug bag-o unit. pero if molapas na ila ra irepair ang unit. ang problem is availability sa parts. mao nay makadugay sa warranty

For more info: DTI NCR, Philipines : Official Website

If we follow their policy like 30 days replacement klaro kaayo nga their taking advantage to their customer or the consumers. See the DTI says that if the item or product found defective w/in the warranty period the seller should imposed warranty either REFUND or REPLACEMENT it didn't stated we have to wait for 30 days. We should all know those PC stores make some stupic laws and policy for their protections sake.

nganu ga lisod-lisod pa man kag post diri sir if kahibaw man diay ka unsa dapat imong buhaton og about sa warranty policy?

for the sake of info's or naa ka campaign diha?

[cebu_doki]

ako ni buy nalang ko ug mini speaker external p 320.00

[goldfinger]

@dmelsie: I just got that info today and I know now how to do this. I may not be that sure but I'm certain they will replace my item ASAP! once I return this.

[werty]

its ASAP if within 7days from purchase, after that it needs to be sent to supplier for replacement, mao na reason muingon sila 30days replacement coz padala pa ra sa supplier to verify ang damages or something... and i think they are not breaking any rules coz that would be the standard warranty procedure, if thats written anywhere...

[gaspar_73]

pakuyog lang taga DTI boss...soppurtahi na imong warranty nga gi-implement...tan-awn nato moluhod ba sila....I'M SOOOOO EXCITED!!
