Well, samsung has a dealer shop right next to the nakumatt lifestyle,, take it back to shop you bought - and they will take it back to samsung ... Giving a kawaida fundi will mess it up cos nowardays things are digital, and for most problems, only the manufacturer has the restoration programs (unless the fundis can reprogram the micro controllers ) Sometimes you dont even need to be within the warranty period - just talk nicely to the guys responsible for collecting faulty products then the two [or three] of you can sort it out kando once the electronic piece is back and functioning well...[?] ==* Why am I mentioning this last part ? Because unless the shop owners tell the brand dealers that the warranty is void, they will never know, these things are taken in bulk, repaired in bulk and returned in bulk*

It's imported. My dad's a special breed of human, if there ever was warranty, i'll be too lucky to find it. Will visit the said dealership and talk sweetly (total pun intended) to whomever i find. But i need to find it first. Where xactly is it? On 11/12/09, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com> wrote:

EEhh, The brand dealers, the way it works [at least for most of them] - is that they will warrant the product no matter where you are... You just have to be sure its a "Samsung" and not a "SimSong" re-branded as a "SamSung" to dupe buyers... However, if its past warranty, you may have to pay - please negotiate price before you leave it there,i.e diagnose in advance and price the repair - otherwise they will charge you their monthly rent if they bull u afterwards ...

Stephen, I beg to differ as products are sold as per region......different products for different regions esp. USA....as we match with UK & EMEA....... But let her find out from the horses mouth .!!! Alvin On 11/12/09, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com> wrote:

Guys, where is the horse i.e the dealership shop? Since it was bought in UAE, most warranties span across UAE, Asia, Middle East & Africa i believe i ought to be covered. Kindly give me the exact location of the dealership. Thanks Wanjiru On 11/12/09, Alvin Jason Ochieng <ajochola@gmail.com> wrote:

In my earlier mail, I wrote the location of shop: Right outside Nakumatt Lifestyle.. You can miss it.

Stephen, thanks found the shop, they referred me to their service centre in Westlands, Mpaka building or something. Cost 28k to get it fixed! Question: Just how effective is the T.V Guard? Am i guaranteed the voltage will forever be regulated and chances of a repeat incident will be minimized? On 11/12/09, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com> wrote:
