Sir, My laptop details and complaint is given below: Product Serial No: 7002862 On site warranty no: 121615 Product Name: vpceh15/b Product code: 27544512 Purchase date: 16th Aug 2011 Complaint No:[protected] The warranty period ends by 15-Aug-2014, given it for service on 13-Aug-2014 at the authorized sony service center, Kottayam, Kerala, India . The complaint job id is J41795194 and the problem was:- 1. Auto shut down of system 2. USB ports not working I had given this only because I need to ensure that the hardware is free from any problem. After one week I got a call from service center and they said All my data will be erased I said ok because I already took the back up and have original Operating system backup disc with me. They call me last day and said I have to pay Rs 600/- for the service. They are saying that they Re-installed the Operating system and need money for that. If the complaint was all about software then my question is Why didn't they tell me it before for I would have done it myself(I'm a software engineer). Also please do refer "Repair Service Terms and conditions" clause no 5, it says that "repair service shall be initiated only on approval of estimates" by the customer over phone/ email etc . Now the service center people says that they called me over my phone and I was not able to answer the Call. Do that mean that they can makes changes or repair on my system?? for your concern I called back them did not get any info: about the estimate. Also I had given my email id why didn't they contact me through mail???. Is this the way you treat your customer?? I am really ashamed by this behavior of the service center. If you still want to pay Rs 600/- I wont prefer for other sony products and wont recommend this for others too.

I am totally dissatisfied with Sony Bravia. My hard earned money, is of no use. It pains me a lot. Considered to be a good brand but forever no more Sony product in my purchase. Within one and half year, display panel is gone. What is the function of quality department?When i enquired with the service centre in kochi(Madonna electronics, Edapally) they saying that its common complaint for that model of sony, so there is no other option you have to change the panel and the cost of panel is 12k.And now its almost 3 years.Does sony have any other option for us?

Hi, Had registered a complaint on 20th August 2014, Request ID 20539773. The engineer was supposed to visit today. I had called[protected], as I had received the sms to contact this no for the same. The confirmation was provided to me around 1:30 pm today that the engineer would visit by 4:30 pm at the Inorbit address which i had provided to your team. I requested you team if the servicing can be done at my bandra address since I was there today, they replied saying that again a complaint will be logged for the same. Since I wanted the Laptop to repair today itself, I travelled all the way from my bandra address to my malad address to ensure the same. When the engineer did not visit on the scheduled time, called up the above phone no to see where it was stuck. There was no response, the phone lines were continuously ringing. I again called up your call centre [protected] and stated the whole matter at around 5:30 pm. The gentleman told me he will get back to me in half hour as[protected] was not responding to him too. I just got a call from the engineer [protected], at 7:00 pm..??? and he was saying that he will not be able to come today and will come tomorrow. When I told him that my office is closed tomorrow and asked him why he has not given this information earlier, he started screaming on me telling me that he had many times called me and I had not received his phone..he was extremely arrogant and rude. He was not ready to listen and was just being horrible to me over the phone. It was then I finally had to raise my voice to make him listen and ask him which number he had contacted, and it was some land line number..??? When I had just provided my Mobile number for any contact then why is the team contacting some random landline number??? Who has given the right to your engineer to shout at customers??? If this is not resolved with an APOLOGY by tomorrow, I will file a complaint at the Consumer Forum !!! Very Unhappy & Dissatisfied Customer Sujata N Jain [protected]

I have a SONY DIGITAL CAMERA, Model No. DSC H-1, I was purchase in 2005 and I am using this Camera, its performance has been very very good as like to other Sony products. Recently, I had travel via bike to HP from Delhi, Due to bad condition of road the lens alignment out and camera is out of service. There is No picture on screen. I visited the Star Electronics (Authorized SONY Service center) Naraina branch, DELHI on 22-May-2014 (Job no # J41067884, dt[protected]. After the inspection of Camera they inform me, Camera lens is fully damage and need to replace. The lens cost is near to Rs 10, 000/-. After few weeks, I visit to Club Electronics (Authorized SONY Service center) South Extension, DELHI on 08-Aug-2014 (job no #J41755455, dt[protected]. They charge me Rs 675/- as service changes and informs me Lens alignment is tuned and would be work fine. I am very happy to felt the same performance of My DSC H-1. But I am very disappointed to see the behavior of Start Electronics Narayana Branch. Customer faith of SONY and they goes to Authorized center for any product repair. But some Authorized center cheats the customer and they charge heavy amount against the small issue. This is very shocking…. Naresh Khurana [protected]@yahoo.com +[protected]

I have bought sony ericsson J108i phone in 2011, last month it got hangged an not started I have shown it to Sony service center and they are saying now sony and ericsson are not together so we don't provide support to Sonyericsson phone..
My complaint is that why a normal customer should suffer due to their sepration.
I have bought a branded phone with the hope that I will get good customer support but now I am suffering.
Better I should bought some Chines phone in less then half price so I can throgh it happily.

Purchased a 40" colour Sony LED TV KDL-EX520 in JUNE 2012. Now I am facing the horizontal RGB distortion on the screen, when approached the customer care, they asked to do the Factory settings which I did but the problem still exists. Then an engineer came to inspect the TV. He took Rs. 500/- to tell me that it was the display panel board problem and which needs to be changed and the cost would be around Rs. 23000. I mean after paying so much price for a brand that claims to be of best quality I need to pay almost 40% of the TV cost within such short span o[censored]sage makes me think what do you define as quality. I found a lot of people facing this same problem and this to be a manufacturing defect. Funny Part is I do have a stabilizer to ensure that there is no fluctuation of power possibility to damage the Panel board. I would request the concern authority to take immediate action on this and get my TV display panel replaced free of cost or replace the TV unit itself as 1. I don’t see any point in paying so much for repair purpose with such product, which already is having manufacturing defects. 2. What is the guarantee that after one year the panel does not fail or any other part does not work after the panel is changed, do you expect your customers to suffer and spend their hard earned money on your bad quality products.

Dear Sir /Madam on dated 26/06/2014 i bought sony xperia C 2305 imei no is [protected] and S.no is wuj01bpd9p in rohtak haryana But after 1 month i face these issue in my mobile so i contact with seller and he advice me to visit sony care.So after next day i visit nearest sony care and they tell me to come next day so i visit again and same reply and today i visit again and still same reply .i am really fad up with the response from sony care so today i put the mail.i am requested you to please look into this matter and try to resolve my problem asap.

I had Purchased Sony Xperia c last year in Dec i.e 26th Dec 2014 I have been having this problem of "storage space running out" after transferring all my apps and whatever possible info on the SD card.I took it to the service center in panjim in July and still they were not able to rectify the situation. I wrote to your team by end of july after getting no solution for the problem.Your team adviced me to go back again and that the service center will rectify the issue. I went to the Sony Service Center Panjim (Zeel Infotech) on the 13th August 2014.They kept the handset with them over 7 days only to get my Phone with the same storage issue. This is the 2nd time I have spent money and time in fixing this issue. Over these 7 days I have lost in Lacks as I could not operate from a Cell phone which my business depends on. They told me that there was a problem in the software which they have corrected however it is worse than before.At least before I had 10 downloaded apps, now after putting the wifi on, the phone has updated its inbuilt apps and I could download only 5 apps. My phone is set on preferred instillation location for storage as SD CARD, further more I manually transferred whatever apps possible to the SD Card. I am totally dissatisfied with this product of yours. I have been asking for a solution now for over a month and I still have not got it. I have already done the research on your other phones which are in the Xperia C range, All have horrible reviews.Looking at those reviews I Want my REFUND(which I had mentioned in last complaint) as you'll cannot fix this issue. I do not wish to have any thing to do with any replacement of any other Sony Handset as nothing makes sense. Also I would like to bring to your notice, see the invoice attached, where is the job done mentioned? What is this, a laundry receipt, even a laundry receipt have details of the job to be done.where is it mentioned Software problem? I just spoke to your team right now, i.e from 8.00p.m, on the 21st August 2014, (you can check your records[protected] and I have been informed there is no solution other than doing Factory Resets every month (which is not a solution), that means I have to sit with the phone over hours every month just because you'll are selling defective models? IF I HAD TO DO THAT THEN I WOULD HAVE GONE FOR A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE INSTEAD OF GOING FOR A SMARTPHONE.WHAT IS SMART ABOUT THIS PHONE WHICH NEEDS FACTORY RESETS EVERY MONTH / EVERY TIME ANY APPS UPDATE. I WANT MY REFUND. If the issue is not taken seriously I WILL GO TO THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES if necessary. I have spent 20, 000/- odd rupees plus the trips of going up and down to your service Centers plus I have lost over lacks of rupees due to the phone being kept in the service center in the name of providing solution to the issue. I would have taken my losses if there was a disclaimer on the Box stating that android phones have the issue with Storage. This is misrepresenting the product and cheating the customer.As a company you'll are aware of the flaws in this Product, this phone should have been discontinued as I am not the 1st customer complaining about it.

I purchased 42 inch Sony LED TV Model W700B from M/s Mahavir Electronics, Kothrud, Pune on 07.08.2014.The person from Mahavir electronics give delivery the next day. They communicated to Sony for further proper demonstration of the above refered TV. I also personally taken follow up continuously for Demo. One representative came for the same. But he could not explain the demo properly & as I was not satisfied, I requested the Mahavir & Sony Centre for sending another technical person. But there is no response from Sony. Till date no person from your side attended the situation. So I hired another private technician & done the job. We are not expecting such poor service from trusted Brand like you. How can I further refer your Brand to my collegues &relatives? This is for your information & further action if any. Bhagwat Patil Warje, Pune

We have purchased one Sony Bravia Model:KLV-32EX330 problem on 06.08.2014. We book a complaint with Sony customer care with complaint no. 20320344 The very next day Sony technician visited my home and upon checking the TV he declared that the TV panel is not functioning and we have to replace that which will cost around Rs 15000.00 . I was shocked that only after 1.2 years of purchase we again have to shell out this huge amount to repair that which was completely unexpected from a brand like Sony.

I have brought sony xperia spwith IMEI [protected] on 18 June 2014 from satyam electronics in Jaipur rajasthan for my family member. i am facing various issues in my phone now for example. while the phone rings whether during incoming main call, viber, tango etc the main speaker remains inactive and the ear speaker becomes active due to which the ring is not atol audible. I have visited the sony service centre but as a result people over there instead of helping me they straight said that do not use application like viber etc. and when i said that every one over the world is being using these applications and there phones are working properly then they just said okay it may be software issue we will install your software again. but still my working is in same condition. and even now new problem has been persisted as my phone is not working properly with wifi. i am having these serious issues with my phone. then what is use of buy an smartphone. its our first sony phone that we have bought previously we are using samsung and apple handsets and we are satisfied. but with this sony phone we are so much dissappointed.
