Re: Re: Re: Bad customer service

Well, I am not trying to degrade IBM service here. But it is a fact that i actually get crap service on my first visit.

I remember I dislodged the blue scroll button and ask them to fix for me. And to my disbelief, a guy told me i got to pay for that. But in the end, he fixed it and din ask me to pay.

I think we have to be very careful about the warranty. It don cover everything from what I know..... It is rather subjective I feel....

I think warranty conditions did mentioned that defects due to misused are not covered under warranty.

Halo. I just bought T-40 from JOBS!!! Pls add me to your list.

However, I got a few questions to ask.

1) The first time I switch on my notebook, the batt states that the remainding batt life is 80%??? Seems that someone has charge for me.

2) The harddisk capacity is suppose to be 40G. Mine is 35 G. I know some of the harddisk space has been reserved to image the factory seetings. However when I use my IBM restore program, it will partion my harddisk for me and my harddisk capacity become 27 G. The IBM restore program actually consume 7 G of my harddisk. Do any of you encounter this problem?
