[Resolved]  Sony Ericsson W580i — IC and Motherboard

I too face the exact same problem.. it's frustrating..I would never recommend sony ericsson to anyone..!

I bought W580i last year, and as soon as its warranty was over, a month later the cell was not starting at all, when I checked out at the Sony Ericsson service centre at Thane, the guy to me that its IC and Motherboard was damaged. I don't know the reason WHY???.
It didn't fall at all, never fell in water, infact I took good care of it, there wasn't any symptoms any problem at all.
Now the SonyEricsson guy told me that its gonna cost me about 3000/-. Is that the cell normally has some problem after the expiry of its warranty. Its really bad on your part, also when I brought the cell back, I found that some button on keypad and also the ON/OFF button is damaged.
I need a explanation and a solution to the IC and Motherboard issue ASAP.

I'M NEVER GONNA SUGGEST ANY OF MY FRIENDS OR RELATIVE TO GO FOR SONY ERICSSON

THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MY FRIEND TOO I!!!

I BOUGHT SONY W580i ON JULY 2008 @ 10200/- Rs. AFTER 15 MONTHS SOME BLACK LINES APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. I CONTACT TO SERVICE CENTER THEY CHARGED ME Rs. 1550/- FOR CHANGING THE LCD. AND NOW THE PHONE GOT DEAD. THE SERVICE CENTER GIRL SAID MAY BE YOUR MOTHERBOADR AND IC GOT DAMAGED.

THIS IS VERY VERY VERY POOR PHONE PLS DO NOT BUY IT @ ANY COST.
AND THE SERVICE OF SONY IS VERY BAD. THERE IS DIFFERENCE IN H/W COST AT DIFFERENT SERVICE CENTRE. PLS AVOID SONY ERICSSON!!!

I have bought sony w580i one year back, i faced a problem screen was not appearing, i have given in sony serviceing centre, after a month i made a call to them, regarding my phone status, they are simply telling that my phone mother board was dameged, and they cant help it out, this is the way thay have cheated the people, pl dont suggest sony.
