Sony India Complaints & Reviews

I just want to alert you about the Sony W595 handsets.Please don't buy a SONY ERICSSON HANDSET EVER specially w595. It has got a very delicate keypad and slider LCD screen which gets broke off after every now and then. The body of this handset is not worth spending 13K bucks. Moreover the service which this company provides is awful.

I bought this handset in july 2009. Within 1 yr I need to replace its LCD once, slider spring once and now having prob with its keypad. God knows which type of testing they had done. Sony ericsson service centre is charging 1650 bucks for repairing it.

My advice to the management of SONY ERICSSON is please stop fooling people buy selling such type of handsets.
And open service center where customer can easily go there. not in outskirt area.

I have purchased C510 mobile from HotSpot Retails Ltd (c-134/B Sectore-61 Noida 201301,UP).After 3months i was facing the problem in the display, screen is divided into two parts then i visited the Sony authorized center for the problem that they were said me that mobile software is not working properly so we need to update mobile software, they updated and problem was resolved for few days. but again we are facing same problem
so we again visit to Sony authorized service center in Noida(Neeru Enterprises, P-21,
KFC Basement, Sector-18,Noida).my work order number is SE[protected] and My Phone is in Warranty period .
they took 100/- rupees from me for service and said we inform you total charges required
to repair your phone. So they called me and Service center people are saying that you have to pay 1950/-Rupees
to get it repaired .

Please help us.

Dear Sir,

I and my collegues have purchased your Sonyerisson mobile model W205 each one. When we purchased, the shopkeeper told that this mobile is having GPRS facility and it can be connected with PC with suitable PC suite using USB cable. We downloaded the PC suite from internet and we bought the recommended USB cable DCU-45 also. We downloaded the dialup facility from our Airtel network. When we connect this mobile to computer using USB cable, the display will be : "File transfer". It has not changed to phone mode to work as modem. We took this mobiles to the nearest service center, Krishna Cell service,Erode and they told that this mobile doest not have the facility to work as modem. We cannot use this mobile as modem using PC-suite. We shocked by hearing this statement. Because we bought the 2 nos of this model for browsing the internet using GPRS as well as with PC suite.

1. can we use this model as Modem in PC with suitable pc-suite?
2. If can, what is it pc-suite software?
3. And what should we change in the mobile setting?

Sub: Regarding poor quality of service provided to the Vaio Laptops under Warranty.



I have the following complaints:



1. That I have purchased VAIO notebook model No. VPCCW12EN bearing serial no.[protected] from UNIQUE INFOWAYS (P) LTD. Nehru Place , New Delhi on 23.12.2009



2. That I was observing white spot on the LCD of Laptop, and when I took the laptop on 02/06/2010 to the Authorized Service Centre of Sony at Allahabad U.P. i.e. CARE & CARE, I have been informed by the Service Engineer that one Pixel of LCD is dead and the LCD will be replaced.



3. That on 04/06/2010 I have taken the Laptop back from the Service Centre. I observed that the colors on the LCD were not the same as earlier. I tried to calibrate the colors but haven’t been successful. The colors tend to remain the same after restarting the system.

4. That the Authorized Service Centre of Sony at Allahabad U.P. i.e. CARE & CARE, was then under renovation so I didn’t received any help from them till 22/06/10.



5. That on 23/06/10, I again took the laptop to the service centre where the service engineer failed to solve the problem of colors and color calibration.





6. That I deposited the laptop with the service centre having Job Information No. CCA169 dated 24/06/2010 and on inquiring on the 24/06/10, the service engineer said that there is some problem with the replaced LCD. he said that on connecting the laptop with a different LCD, the colors were as they should be

with the VAIO laptops.



7. That I didn’t take the possession of the laptop. The service centre at Allahabad has sent the laptop to the Lucknow service centre for further rectification. Service engineer at Lucknow said that there is no problem with the laptop and that I m unnecessarily bothering the service centre people. The views of the service engineers at Lucknow and Allahabad seem to differ on the same issues of colors. And if there was no problem then why did the service centre at Allahabad sent it to Lucknow service centre.



8. That my laptop is still in possession of your service center at Lucknow and no concrete reply has still came from your people.



9. That your service head person at Lucknow has been calling me since Friday the 25/06/10 ,who is having the possession of my said laptop, and saying that there is no problem in your laptop and its that unnecessarily I am bothering the service centre persons. In contrast your service centre people at Allahabad are saying that there is some problem with the replaced LCD.



10. That upon calibrating the colors in the laptop, the colors tends to just stay till the time of restarting the system and returns to the original state as it was before calibrating the colors.



11. That your service centre person at lucknow called me again on the 28/06/10 at 10.55 am to take permission to start recovery in the said laptop but didn’t even called me till 29/06/10 until I called him at 8.28pm to ask as to what has happened after starting the recovery in the laptop. It seems as if I have given the laptop for some research and development purpose.



12. That the yellowish shades in the videos appear grayish on the LCD. Upon reiterating this point to your service centre person at Lucknow , he is saying there is still no problem with the laptop.



13. That if you continue giving such service to your customers, it may happen that the customers will loose the possession of the product because it will be with your service centre for most of the time as in my case.



14. That it shows the ability of your service people which you have installed at various places calling them as service centers where two people differ on the same issue. As in my case where your people at Allahabad and Lucknow service centers are differing on the same issue causing the harassment of the Customer. And Sony being a multinational brand, this is not expected from your people.



15. That if the problem arising in the Laptop will be not be resolved at earliest then I will have alternative except to take the Legal recourse against Sony India, and you will be also saddled with the cost of the Litigation.



I therefore request you to kindly do the needful in the matter immediately so that the matter be resolved.

i had purchased a sony viao laptop costing near about 45000. after few months of purcahse, one day suddenly when i switched on the laptop, it screen displayed wierd things(white screen with lines and a black spot at the corner). i took it to the sony service center where they told me that the lapto's TFT has got damaged and needs to be replaced by a new one. the laptop is STILL IN WARRANTY period but the sony service center people are asking for rs 14000 for repair. they say that TFT has been damged due to pressure applied at the corner of the laptop while opening it . i dont understand how a girl like me can apply so much pressure that it can break laptop's screen TFT. AND THE MOST ASTONISHING THING IS THAT LAPTOP SCREEN GLASS IS COMPLETLY INTACT AND DOES NOT HAS EVEN A SCRATCH, THEN HOW CAN TFT THAT IS BEHIND THE GLASS BE BROKEN BY THE USER.

THE FACT IS THAT SONY HAS SUPPLIED A VERY POOR QUALITY LAPTOP AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPOSIBILITY FOR IT.

MY 45000 RS HAV GOT WASTED AS AM UNABLE TO USE THE LAPTOP WITHOUT ITS DISPLAY

I was a customer of SONY for the past 15+ years. In 2008 December, I bought a 32" Bravia S Series LCD TV for Rs. 36000, primarily for the use of my parents. I was more than happy till last month since it started developing problems like switching off automatically. I contacted the SONY service center and the technician came, checked and advised to replace the faulty board for Rs. 5600. After 1 week my TV started behaving weird again. I contacted the same service center and they came in, inspected and discovered that the LCD panel is gone and needs to be replaced for Rs. 16000.
Now I realize that I already spend Rs. 36000 + Rs.5600 for a disposable TV - which worked for just 17 months and again spend 16K more ??? I bought this TV just thinking that the product quality is superior to others in the market and will last for a longer period. I wonder what product quality is SONY maintaining to cope up with the Indian conditions? If the voltage fluctuation is a problem in India, why cant SONY have the intelligence built to cope up with this kind of surges?

THEREAFTER HE DISMANTLE THE CTV WHOLE KIT AND ASKED TO DEPOSIT IT TO ABOVE SERVICE CENTRE.ON 29.05.2010 I DEPOSITED COMPLETE KIT TO ABOVE SERVICE CENTRE FOR RECTIFICATION, BUT TILL DATE NEITHER THEY RESPONDED NOT RECTIFIED MY TELEVISION EVEN THOUGH I AND MY WIFE TELEPHONE THEM SEVERAL TIME BUT NO RESPONSE RECEIVED FROM THEM.
