[Resolved]  Toshiba India — 1 month old TOSHIBA laptop dead

I had purchased a Toshiba Laptop about a month ago and I paid close to Rs. 40, 000 for it. The battery barely lasted 1.5 hours and before gaving up. Constant and persistent calls to the company representatives yieled me a alledgedly 'new' battery. This was 2 days ago. Today the battery is dead and the machine refuses to boot. The Toshiba Regional Manager in Mumbai simply says he cant help me. I leave for the UK in 5 days for further studies. I am stuck with a third rate machine from an uncaring company.
DONT BUY TOSHIBA
