Hi Guys,
Below is the issue which i have posted up lately. Things have been cleared with understanding.

Dear James,
Thank you for writing to the Fujitsu eCustomer Relationship Management
Team.
We have logged your request into our system and the details are as

Dear Sir,
Please advice for my bad experience of purchasing the LifeBook E8410.
When I got my laptop, the most unexpected thing I saw was dead pixel. I
was a bit disappointed then. I went back to the retail and ask for an
exchange for one to one and I came to realized that the specification.
I
was purchasing was actually been upgraded to a higher specifications of
the same model, so I ask for an upgrade too, where I had pay for the
full payment on the lifebook laptop on the day when they have upgraded
the specification, thus I should be getting the upgraded one instead of
paying the same price and received a lower end machine. On the other
hand, placing an order for the model and not getting the upgraded
specification on the purchased date was too ridiculous. Moreover, the
sales did not inform us on the upgraded specification made on that day
when we make the payment. Should not the sales told us on the upgraded
specification?
I called up the distributor and clarification, and after some argument,
they decided to upgrade the same specification as the day they had
updated the specification. They also denied that the previous laptop
which I have sent it previously did not detected of any dead pixel. I
told them that dead pixel was actually pointed out to the technician
therefore I was entitled for a one to one exchange which stated in the
warranty.
That was ridiculous when they told me this. I was told to wait for a
week to receive my new laptop. Never did I expect that I was told to
wait for another week when I gave them a call at the NTU retail shop by
the sales manager and the technician. What they could say was to just
have to wait... Fujitsu LifeBook is always my dream machine to have
one,
thus I have no choice but to wait. I waited nearly for a month to be
able to meet my LifeBook, but I began so disappointed and furious.
Guess
what I saw? DEAD PIXEL!!!!!!!! This time round, I was awarded 3 * dead
pixel. What is happening to Fujitsu? I immediately called the
technician
and rectify the dead pixel issue but he and the sales manager simply
ignored my unpleasant and ask me to go down to NTU for a test and
rectification else there would not be a one to one exchange.
AT that night I also realized that the specification which was
mentioned
in the web site was not matched! It was clearly showing a resolution of
1680*1050, but my machine was only able to reach up to 1280*800. I
spend
the entire night on the work around but to no valid.
The next morning I called up the technician from Asia Pac on the
clarification on the specification and I was told the maximum
resolution
is 1280*800 and they even told me that there is no 100% free of dead
pixel. (Thinking of why other branding of laptop have made it possible
or to provide best service for dead pixel on newly laptop to the
consumer) I felt cheated. Here again, I got no choice but to bring the
NEW laptop and went to NTU for clarification from the retail manger. I
began to lost patient on them. At the retail, I show the dead pixels(3
dead pixel) to the technician, and the funny thing was that he told me
that the dead pixels were too small and he was not able to change a new
LCD for me. That was the first I heard such services from Fujitsu's
product. That comments don*t sound good to me. I bought the machine
with
defects yet not able to get it fixed. The boss of the retail could not
do anything as she said that the laptop was provided by Asia Pac which
was out of your hand to be concerned of. But she suggested me to take a
look at another machine from 2 female students who came to collect
their
new purchase of the same model Fujitsu LifeBook E8410. To my surprise!
I
found one red dead pixel on the screen. I immediately show my friends
on
the dead pixel, and they could witness it. Poor female students were
not
notified by the technician whom was at the scene too. He simple just
says he could not found any. He is inefficient and unprofessional who
might just want to send out the goods.
I have escalated the matter to the Computer Eng Dept, but no valid.
What
they could say was to live with it or to do a full refund.
I have print out all documents and have decided to have a full refund,
and plan to log a file CASE against this issue as well as to get
justice
from the main Fujitsu manufacturer. So please be aware of the quality
of
the goods at NTU retails or to be sorry at later stage. So far for a
total of 3 laptops of Fujitsu LifeBook I have seen, there are all
present with dead pixel which the management of the Computer Dept has
noticed too. But the price of the laptop was reasonable, but the
Services provided were real bad!
I will be looking forward for your advice. Thanks.
