I am pissed off at Al-Ghanim Electronics
Has to be the worst week of the year so far. Had project deadlines this week and all my workload is shared between laptop and mobile and I have to be mobile for projects so I need them both. Now last year in September I bought HP DV6600 from Alghanim and this month I bought Nokia N82. Apparently both have failed me simultaneously this week. First off I lost bluetooth on N82 which I use for my hands free and data transfer. And today my laptop booted to a dead screen. Blank, Black, Zilch….on the screen.
The only thing that worried me was the data on the laptop. It changes everyday and I usually take a backup once in 2-3 days just to make sure. I was scheduled to take the backup today and the bloody thing died on me. I did a Google on this issue and tried couple of things, and the solution..”THE BATTERY” viola. Once I took out the battery from its housing and plugged the power in, the thing booted up instantly.
Thanks a ton for Google being around…and Alghanim Electronics I am visiting you guys today so be prepared for a showdown. If you sell at cheap rates doesnt mean that you sell crap. I will be there..and you better have some answers to all this. Let see the pain of warranty replacement procedures with Alghanim now.
Hate to burst your bubble, but batteries aren’t covered by warranty. As for Al-Ghanim. I agree, they’re crap. And their salesmen are quite funny when trying to sell computers.
@rash3d: Now thats news to me. Lets see what Alghanim have up their sleeves tonite.
Some times you feel like the whole world is against you.
could it be your energy that have disabled your electric devices?
I think HP laptop are uner warranty by Redington Gulf, located at Dajij in Farwaniya. As I they are the warranty dealers for HP, as had faces the same when i had problems with my CD drive. Make sure they dont scratch your Notebook.
All the best.
ALGHANim IMPORTS CHINESE PARTS AND GETS IT ASSEMBLED IN KUWAIT ..
IT is quiet surprising in recent years for just boosting sales the new manager has done it using the brand name of ALGHANIM which was always paired with quality but now With scrap and chinese failed and faulty products … they are loosing customers and are having them diverted to other dealers like ALWAZZAN & ALI ABDULWAHAB & ALSAYER & ALBABTAIN & FONO ETC
Just wanted to know what happened when you went to Al-Ghanim, did they help or not?
It’s sad to say but it’s a fact that Alghanim are selling low quality chi-se electronics items.I bought HP laptop,printer and scanner.With in a week the printer-scanner didn’t work, I brought to thier workshop , but still the same problem and I’m tired of bringing it there. My laptop with in a week,it keeps on hanging,I’m patient restarting it all over again because I cannot stop my work. Until the day come,It collapse and I almost get sick.It’s the mother board same as my other friends laptop taken from Alghanim.Now,my laptop is not working anymore which is out of warranty already and it will cost me a lot to replace a motherboard. Hu!Hu!Hu!I lost most of my important files and I lost money as well.
My advice to all of you friends,don’t depend on low quality electronic items especially Chi-se made…Those who still have their laptop,check it now and don’t wait till the warranty expire.Save all ur files because for sure your laptop will be in the workshop for morethan a week. Call Redlington at 22433201/2/3/4 for more details.
