Dell India Complaints & Reviews

Well, i submitted my DELL XPS(L502X) laptop to DELL SERVICE CENTRE in SEC-18 on 31/3/2014 for the replacement of my 500GB HDD with 1TB HDD and for cleaning for which i gave Rs.8000/- in total, they said that i'll get my laptop back by 7/4/2014 but they had a robbery in their service centre in which my laptop got stolen too. Today, is 25/4/2014 and till now i have not received replacement for my laptop and they keep on increasing their replacement date due to illogical and unidentified reasons.

I purchased my Dell Inspiron Laptop 15R 5520 2 years ago. I reinstalled my Operating System 2 days ago and after that when I tried my 'Drivers and Utilities' CD, it wasn't working. This was the case even though I had just broken open the seal.

When I called the customer care number, I was told that since the warranty expired, a new CD cannot be issued free of cost. The representative kept on reinforcing the theory that had i opened the seal and tried the CD a year ago, it would have worked, and that it stopped working because of the limited shelf life of the CD. Further, he sent me a mail with a link from where I may download drivers. That link was empty! Before this, I had visited a Dell service centre for checking the CD and he himself told me that the CD was faulty.

This is unacceptable! I demand a free replacement immediately! I cannot be expected to download drivers from the internet every time I reinstall my OS. They have even refused to apologise for selling me a faulty product.

I am prepared to take this to the highest authorities possible.

My hospital server is down from 04/04/14 and i immediately contacted support vide SR#[protected] and ask for the support. they told us that both the Hard disc are crashed immediately we have paid the amount. your sales representative is unnecessarily troubling us by raising queries one by one. either he has not properly trained to cater the needs of the customer or no body is interested in the customer. his in charge is also not intervening the matter. to day only i have recd his mail that part will be delivered within 3-4 weeks. sir my spares from germany are delivered within 1 weeks time. so please look in to the matter and deliver the part to me as early as possible because all the work is at stand still. thanking you in anticipation Vijay Gadgil Ace Hospiat Pune 32/2A erandvana, gulawni Maharaj Road, Opposite Abhishek Hotel, pune-411004 020/25434063, 25434072.

I have purchased studio 1435 laptop from Dell and purchased the complete cover warranty. Service tag: BX953BS I purchased the external DVD writer. I am not able to boot from it. Escalated to Dell global escalation team. They could not solve the problem. It seems there is bug in the design or BIOS bug. Dell technical team is refusing to accept it. Step 1# I purchased Lenovo USB Portable DVD Burner MODEL: DB65. I connected this to USB port in the Dell studio 1435 model laptop. The USB is version 2. That is USB 2.0 The USB was chosen as the first boot option in the boot sequence in the BIOS. Now I tried to boot from the external DVD. But the control is not going to the external external DVD as it is not being recognized as I could not see the USB option when I press F12. I booted from hard disk and went into operating system. Operating system detected the external DVD and it is working fine there. Step 2#. Thinking that there could be problem with mother board, Dell has replaced the mother board. I tried the things mentioned in the step #1 without success. The same problem persisted on new mother board. We came to concusion that it is not problem with motherboard. It is happening on all Studio 1435 models Step 3# I explained the what I have done in step 1 # to the Dell Tech Support team. They asked me connect to some other laptop and provide the feed back. I connected the same external DVD to Samsung NetBook N150 Plus. I was able to successfully boot from this Samsung laptop. With Step 3#, the conclusion was that there is no problem with the external DVD. Dell technical team tried defend saying that the device is not compatible with Dell laptop 1435 model. I have purchased the model from International brand. It is the open standard USB device. How can this be non-compatible. Who is not following the USB starndard? Is lenovo not following the standard or Dell not following ? Step 4# For further testing, dell has dispatached their own make of external DVD to me and asked to check whether I was able to boot from their external DVD. This device is also bus-powered slim drive. I chose USB as the first boot option and placed Windows OS DVD to boot. I was not able to boot and the operating system was loaded from harddisk.With the Step 4# it was clear once again that the problem with the mother board itself (infact the problem with studio 1435 model) Step 5# Now the Dell escalation team performed that same steps in their lab with no success. They are not able to boot from the external DVD. Now the DELL ESCALATION TEAM IS CLAIMING THAT STUDIO 1435 MODEL IS DOES NOT SUPPORT BOOTING FROM EXTERNAL DVD !!!. NOTHING CAN BE DONE IN THIS CASE. They even challenged me to go to court if I wish to do so. The following points are asked by me to Dell escalation team which is highest level in India. Comment 1# If booting from external USB DVD is not supported, why Dell has provided booting from USB option in the boot sequence? Answer: Dell technical team has not answer for. They said that it can you used for flash drive ( called pen drive here in India). But the moot point is Microsoft and Dell are providing the operating System software in the DVD not in the flash drive. Just before drafting this mail, I got the call from highest level of escalation team in India saying that this model does support booting from external DVD and I can take the legal path if I wish to.

This is in respect to laptop within warranty submitted for some boot up issue on 3 April 2014 but to my surprise I have not received my laptop back. Laptop was submitted in sector 18 Noida authorised service centre but the executive says that they had a theft in the centre and all the laptop are stolen. First of all, Dell did not inform customer about the theft on their own. I don't understand why was dell so irresponsible in informing about the incident so that one would have at least change there banking and other logging information. Further, when asked what will be the plan of action, executive said we need at least 10 days to investigate and revert. I mean, why should customer suffer because of the mis happening. Dell should compensate the customer ASAP. Email- [protected]@yahoo.com. M-[protected]

I had already experienced this problem twice, they had fixed it by replacing the mother board and this is the third time it has happened.Previously when I had launched the complaint for this problem I was assured that if the same problem occurs the third time I will get my laptop replaced but now on third time failure they are denying for laptop replacement and say only part will be replaced, having 90 days warranty of the replaced part only. First time it had occurred on 4/12/2013 and after the replacement of motherboard this same problem again happened after 15 days on 25/12/2013 the complaint number was:[protected], it was assured again motherboard replacement and now again same problem for the third time on 30/03/2014 the complaint number:[protected].right now my laptop is completly dead and all my data as well as my work is stuck.the warranty period gets over on 15/05/2014.what if the same problem occurs the next day after the warranty expires??

I have order DELL LAPTOP with model E5440 with Windows 8.1
Pro edition. When I saw the image of the ordered laptop in website and as well
as the image showed by the sale representatives has the finger print option and
mouse pointer. For this I have paid 62, 670/- through online.

On yesterday I received the laptop and when I opened it I was really shocked to
see that, it doesn't have those options (finger print reader and mouse pointer)
and also loaded with Ubuntu software. They placed the sticker on the laptop too.

Regarding the issue, when I tried to contact person concerned, no one was
taking the responsibility and not transferred to right person. Finally after I
was talking to several persons (around 7 peoples), I found the concerned
person.

Still I am not getting the response, I am totally upset, whether they will
replace the laptop or not.

Please guide me how to get the replacement at the earliest.

Its creating lot of headache as why i
have purchased through online...

please
help...

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

My Dell service tag no.- 6Y4XGW1.

Its been almost 2 months that I am suffering hell lot due to this DELL laptop. I was dealing with Mr. Sujay Jhadhav for my laptop issues and still nothing is working out. Its been more then a month that I am dealing with him. When I click on important windows updates then its not getting installed, it fails, in task bar, Icons do not appear even after adding it, Dell audio port and speakers are not working fine, Touchpad is not working fine and audio port has been changed twice has been changed twice, and once motherboard and touchpad has been changed, still I am facing the same issues again and again and again, I went to the service center uncountable times, wasted my hell lot time for this laptop. So now what you do want, should i go and pack my bag and live in DELL service center or what?

Every time Dell reps tell me this is my last visit to Dell Service center & its like BOOM Next week i am again standing in Dell service center.

Its enough now, I cant take this anymore, you have to find a permanent resolution for this laptop. I can't go to the Dell service center every 2nd day, or call up Dell customer service center everyday, its just 3 days that i received my laptop and in 3 days of time span, I have faced issues again and I do not know in coming days how many issues I have to face ahead!!!

I would really appreciate if you replace this laptop or else you are just leaving me with one last option as going to consumer court regarding my waste of time & money on dell.

I request you to please take it as OPS Loss at your end & please take care of this issue for resolution at the earliest.

Hi, I purchased a new dell Inspiron 14 laptop 7000 series laptop (7437) on 24th March 2012 however I have found that the combo jack for microphone/headset is not working fine, I raised it with dell technical support through service request[protected] and he also confirmed it to be a hardware issue. Service tag for my laptop is 3S8Z2Z1. Now I am very disappointed with this diagnosed fault in my new laptop within a week however I have not heard any plan of action from dell till now. Ideally now I am looking for a brand new replacement laptop.I am also surprised how come Dell quality checks were unable to find this fault. I hope this will be resolved soon else I will have to take respective heads for marketing/sales/operations into loop to get this resolved . I can be reached on [protected] if anyone from Dell wants to reach me. Regards, Pankaj Kotwal

I had ordered Dell Latitude E 5440 laptop on 10th March and paid Rs 84, 273/- inclusive of taxes.I had received order confirmation from Dell. Order status showed the delivery date as 22 March. But it was not delivered on the committed date. I was daily checking with Dell sales department but did not receive proper response. Upon checking with Dell customer care department., I was told that sales department has wrongly processed the order invoice and production department cannot deliver till the laptop till the invoice is rectified by sales department. New expected delivery date given now is after 05 April. This delay in delivery has caused me lot of inconvenience and mental stress. I do not expect this type of lapse from company of repute like Dell. My order no.[protected] and customer no.[protected]. Niranjan Toraskar

I have purchased an DELL Inspiron 15 7537 Laptop which Service Tag No.is DZH82Z1. Just after 1 week of purchase it comlrtely dead, so i complaint about this with DELL TECHNICAL SUPPORT on 12th March 2013 with complaint no.[protected], and the customer care person agreed to replace the system. She told it will take maximum 21 to 27 days time to replace. I agreed and told her to start the process. Today it is 25th March. and i am still waitng the notebook.

I purchased a Dell Inspiron 3251 laptop from a Dealer in Mumbai on March 15, 2014 and on March 17, 2014 I contacted the customer service to get the product registered on my name or account as it is mentioned on the box. When I called them I noticed that the product doesn't hold any support or warranty in India. The customer service agent tells me that I have to get in touch with the dealer to get any support on the product that I've purchased and that DELL isn't responsible for anything. On calling the dealer, he says that if the product is showing up on the website with the service tag number, Dell should answer your questions and support you on this. On checking the Product service tag number on the dell website it shows the warranty is alive until April 2015 but still they denied to even talk to me and just hung up on me. I need help, I don't know where to go around with this. I am cheated.
