Sir,
I had bought a Samsung LCD 32 inch TV of the model C530 which costed me Rs 34,500.00.
It was only given a warranty period of 1year.Just after the one year period it malfunctioned (fluctuating lines on the LCD display screen) without no reason or lightning struck or any of that cause.I had called up the service center people and they had the TV looked up and now Im said it will take approx 13,0000Rs for its service.Hardly 1.5 years and i half to pay half the price of the TV.Even a pen drive which costs only 180Rs is given a replacement warranty of 3-5years.and for a TV priced 34.5k JUST 1YEAR ??? Sir i humbly request you to do the needful for me.i at least require free service or get my TV replaced.Hope you can help me with this problem asap.
I attach with this, the pics of the TVs problem and the image of the bill as well.
With respect,

Complaint marked as Resolved
On very first day of purchase, i notice a problem of Memory card inserted and removed automatic process going on. I took it to the dealer who told me to go to service center and did not offer any help. Being a working day, i could not go to service center. Later on, i got to know that in this case i can get my cell exchange if there is a problem in first week of purchase. So, i went to that guy again and told this. he said that occurs only in first two days and now it was fifth day. However, he didn't do anything on 1st day either.
As saturday came and i went to Samsung service center on Ajronda chowk, Faridabad. I had to wait for 2 hrs for my number and then they told me to leave the cell wid them without providing any stand by phone. In the evening i had to visit again, there by wasting my entire day in this, n got my cell back after reboot and an assurance that it will be fine now. On coming home, I noticed same problem within few minutes again but then again had to wait for next saturday. again after spending 5 hrs, I got my cell reboot but problem persisted.
Similarly next saturday, i had to ask them to get me some educated personnel to talk to and was able to convince them for checking of memory card. After much hours and efforts i got a new memory card but lost all the valuable data which was on my previous memory card because Samsung's so called skilled professionals could not save it to the dvd i provided.
I immediately got a call from Samsung office next day if i have got a memory card exchanged but never got for repeated complaints. Hats off to Samsung. I even told the guy that I am still not satisfied and want my cell to be checked thoroughly and all i got was an instruction to visit service center.
Anyways, had to visit twice again because of hang problem and auto restart and they reboot it everytime. Needless to say, how much time and money i lost in the process.
Next, i faced charging problem. My cell didn't get charge and showed charger connected even after removing charger. Again, cant explain how i spent entire week waiting for off. Went to service center and they said its not covered under warranty. Will charge 120 rs for making estimate bill. and all the parts exchanged would be charged. I bought it back. Managed with a borrowed cell phone entire week and took my cell next week to Sector-16 service center Faridabed. Again after few hours of explaining, they agreed to check it n repair it under warranty but asked me to leave it till tuesday. On tuesday i was told they dont have the part and i need to wait till thursday. On thursday, i was told saturday. On saturdat wen i went there, again same response. Next saturday, when i started complaining, the part suddenly appeared and i got my cell back in but with same problem. Then i had to sit there for 4-5 hrs while they tried everything and finally i got my cell back with an ill fitted jack and slightly broken cover but atleast it was working now. With no option left, i took it back.
I continued to face problem with low battery life, hang, and being dual sim my cell doesnot have smart phone feature like when i recieve call on one sim, my other sim is out of reach instead of showing call waiting.
But i didn't have the stamina of wasting time further on service center uneducated people. Then suddenly now my memory card which is functional in other cells is shown blank in my Samsung cell. I went to Sector 16 service center on 17 feb 2013, but they were closed without any information displayed. I called them on 20 feb 2013 and got the response that they were closed that week and not entertaining any customers.
I went next saturday and i was told to come next week and that too only after calling. Now i dont have energy, time and patience left to deal with uneducated and useless staff of Sansung.
I am using totally absurd and useless SAMSUNG CELL since 6-may-2012 and I am really disappointed with the service of Samsung. I have a clinic, which i had to close countless saturdays I had to spend at Samsung service centers for getting this crap cell respored. I did biggest mistake buying a Samsung cell and highly recommend all not to go for any Samsung product if they don't have excess time and money to waste on. Sorry to say, but i am disappointed.
