Lenovo Thinkcenter Edge All-in-one Desktop PC, wireless keyboard and mouse, with preinstalled licensed Win8.
System S1MNR52
System bought through authorised dealer, Halcyon Computers, Perinthalmanna in March 2014.
Wireless keyboard became unresponsive in December 2014 and complaint registered on 29/12/14 under Service Order: [protected]. Suggested solution by Lenovo: Replacement of wireless keyboard and mouse.
Lenovo service engineer (from Malappuram service center) visited with keyboard and mouse in first week January 2015, but encountered problem as Windows was corrupted. He indicated that reinstalling the Windows will restore the system, which I agreed on the condition that my PC should have licensed version Windows 8. Engineer went ahead and reformatted C drive and put in Windows Enterprise version on the PC, but was unable to activate my original Windows 8 version. He left with the promise to return next day to set the system right.
Instead of the engineer visit, I was told by Lenovo that a recovery DVD is required to reactivate my PC and I should pay for the same. Creating a recovery DVD is, according to Lenovo, the responsibility of the consumer, to which I replied that such a pre-condition was never communicated to me at the time of purchase of the system from the dealer, nor the dealer cared to provide a recovery DVD (being the authorised dealer, if such a precondition exist, that should be known to the dealer).
The complaint was escalated to the level of Executive Director-Services on January 23, 2015, who promptly replied and copied to the 'Team' to look into the matter and do the needful. Since then, weeks have passed and even now, no action is seen from Lenovo despite the routine 'we are sorry... will do the needful' assurances. One Lenovo representative telephoned me (don't want to note the name here to avoid obvious embarrassments) 2 days ago to assure that a senior engineer will visit me within a day and the system will be put back in order and that this assurance will be communicated to me in mail and will be updated the next day. However, not that none visited me to rectify the system complaint even after the promised time, the person has ignored my repeated attempts through emails to elicit an update/answer!
Such crass shirking of responsibility on the part of Lenovo, a world player in PCs, is unimaginable. I hope this complaint in a public forum will prompt Lenovo to take necessary remedial action.
