My disappointing experience with the Lenovo Ideapad A1 Tablet

As a student who lives on a scholarship that I had saved for months to buy a Lenovo ideapad A1 compressed. After seeing it shipped to the United States, I felt satisfied with his system Android and several features it offered. I felt happy with it, up to 3 months after the purchase. I turned it on a morning expect to read the daily news and I noticed 2 lines horizontal purple color and a line horizontal color cyan who were stuck in the screen all the time. Logically, what I've done is to call Lenovo support, since I bought it only very recently. To my surprise, I was told that the Lenovo A1 tablet doesn't come with any kind of guarantee on the screen at all. And even more frustrating to know that the replacement of this screen is from $ 200 to $ 300 . It's still more expensive than buying another Tablet! How this is possible when the LCD screens are one of the products that have more problems in the manufacturing process?

Thank you. I sent my tablet to fix (it has not even turn on a couple of days) I am now waiting for them. I had good experiences with service of lenovo Centre before, I hope they can fix

  • My disappointing experiences with the iPhone 6

    After 11 months of owning an iPhone of 128GB 6 + the screen started to flicker, a gray bar would flash at the top of the screen and the touch screen has been insensitive.  This was due at random intervals.  I restarted the phone and the problem persisted.  I backed up my data and reset the phone like new.   The problem persisted.  I had my first appointment at the Genius Bar. He went a lot; I was leaving in 15 minutes with a new phone (my first replacement).

    I came home and restored my backup, and after a day, the problem came immediately.  Again, I have reset the phone again, and the problem persisted.  I did another (second) meeting with the Genius Bar (four days after the first).  My genius was excellent.  He had seen that problem before; He showed me that if he put a little pressure on the phone, the screen will become sensitive while he kept up the pressure. He took the phone and showed some of the other Geniuse the problem and how do I get the screen to become sensitive.  He assured so was completely related material and I was just out of luck and that it had nothing to do with my backup.  He asked me to contact Apple, since it is a problem he could see quite often with these phones.  In the end, I got another new phone (my second replacement).

    Once I got home I restored my backup once more.  And yet once again, the problem came back.  At this point, I was getting angry.  I have two young children (under 3) to home and make those appointments around their program is difficult.  Back to the apple store! This time, it was a little harder to get a solution. Engineering had to obtain the approval of the Manager and then he could not find the replacement phones and all the experience took a lot more time then my two previous trips.  In the end, I got another new phone (my third replacement).

    Yet once, I asked if this might be the result of my backup, and even once, I was told no.  I expressed that it becomes ridiculous and controlling common only I see is the backup. He suggested trying the phone for a few weeks without food and restaurant then. I never restored and just started over again.  The phone has been flawless until today, it lasted 38 days.

    The problem came out of the blue.  I have not installed anything new, nothing extraordinary happens today.  The screen started to Flash, returned the gray bar, and the screen becomes unresponsive.  The first Genius Bar appointment I can do is in 2 days.

    In short, in the space of 10 days, I've had four different iPhone + 6s fail in exactly the same way.  My family uses exclusively apple devices.  I had an iPhone 3s, 4S and now 6 +.  My wife had iPhone 3, 5 and 6.  We have all two Ipads and I an Apple Watch for Christmas.  We have had excellent experience with our devices.  I am more unhappy with the iPhone + 6s.  I have about a year left before I can go again, so I'm stuck with what is becoming a useless device.

    I have seen others with the same issues, but no solution is permanent.  This issue should be fixed.  I'm afraid that my next replacement will last 90 days and then I will be paying $329 for a replacement which is likely to fail again.

  • Experience with the service coverage in Bulgaria

    Hello

    I am one of the sysadmins of a large international company, which has offices in Sofia. Bulgaria.
    I would like to share my experience with the Toshiba products and service coverage in Bulgaria.

    Months ago, we bought an external USB hard drive - STORE. E PARTNER 2.5 500 GB USB 3.0 P/N PA427E-1HE0. After you have deployed the HARD drive, I noticed that the computer constantly loses / restores the connection to the external drive.

    As I have suggested that the cable is not inserted properly, I just pulled the cable to the USB connector to check that it fits fully into the socket. To my surprise the just USB connector broke and fell inside the HARD drive chassis. In my opinion, this is a factory default, a badly welded connector.

    We talked to the service allowed in Bulgaria: STEMO and they sent the disc with a protocol that it is a physical damage that violates the terms of warranty service.
    I can't imagine a way to prove in this case that we have not jumped on this HARD drive and that's the way it came from the box... We went to buy Hitachi after this case, and I can say that we had not a single complaint of users or technical staff.

    I would like to say that it was really a bad surprise for me that a multinational company could offer this customer service the poor in Bulgaria, especially given a STEMO dealer who are so famous here for their complete lack of quality of service and poor standards.

    This will avoid for sure choose me no matter what other Toshiba products in the future.
    Thank you.

    Sorry to hear about this. It is very unfortunate to have such an experience with the authorized service provider but I n t think that such a negative experience such influence negative on you.
    One issue doesn't mean Toshiba products are bad.

    You know very well that Toshiba is one of the largest companies for HER and material production in general. A few production errors can happen to anyone.

    Problem is that many people don t care much material and very often some hardware components can be damaged very easily. Can you imagine how much money Toshiba or any other hardware manufacturer will fix these issues where everybody says it's lack of production?

    On a path, I can understand you, but otherwise I can understand Toshiba to be skeptical about these mechanical defects. You as an expert in computer SCIENCE know these issues. Can you imagine how you will react when you give your new notebook your co-worker and a few weeks later it brings you with broken keyboard? I don t think you will accept his argument on construction of bad keyboard.

    You know that's not easy to discuss these issues.
    In any case, thank you for your ad. This forum is the right place where people can exchange experiences and opinions.

    Good luck

  • (Redirected) My experience with the Service the customer of Dell and Dell has been and is still awful

    The Dell customer service is by far the worst service I've ever had to deal with dissatisfaction. After two weeks of owning my computer desk dell, the hard drive failed, when I talked to technicians from that day, that I wasn't even upset considering I was under warranty and I knew that my computer would be fixed for free. I was told that a tech would quote me the next day to put up once for what it Vienna repair the computer. Surprisingly enough has actually happened, only when he called me he was somewhere in Arizona and I live in New-Mexico. After having missed all my college classes and have to reconsider work waiting for technology to arrive, only to be told that my address has been updated completely wrong. After 4 hours on the phone with the Manager after Manager, I was finally told that I have would be by corporate overnight to express my disapproval of their customer service.  Of course but one of the managers that I had spoken previously tried to contact me when I had specific said that I would be unavailable. But the call, which was supposed to come from the company has never even updated in my case, I discovered later when I called. After an hour on the phone with dell today absolutely nothing had been done to solve any kind of error on their part Ive heard I'm sorry for that, so many times of technicians that it is hard-wired into my brain at this point. But I don't want to hear someone halfway across the world tell me sorry and then take little action to solve the problem. If I could have my way, I would like to receive a full refund and buy a different brand outside of dell. If away from my experience with their products, I am not too impressed (given my hard drive couldn't do more than a month of use). When it comes to their "customer service", I have absolutely no faith that if ever they will do what they should do to not to lose a customer. If you are considering buying one of their products I can't EMPHASIZE enough that you will regret when it malfunctions. All I really wanted them to understand was that they made a mistake with my address, which should have been corrected with a work around my schedule to have my computer fixed. But also the fact that every single representative I talked to just kept sending me in a circle, saying: oh you need to contact someone else, we have to call them you or there is nothing we can do. So, I say with certainty of one hundred percent that dell customer service is the worst I have ever encountered. I'm sure that nine times out of ten these issues won't happen, but he did it for me and none of the programs of care for the customer to dell had nothing to say that it was to the advantage of clients after continuous errors on their part.  A less costumer in the long term of dell.

  • Problem with the Lenovo Z575 VGA drivers

    Hi guys,.

    As you probably know, driver VGA for this laptop is a bit outdated. I have a problem with Rage. It crashes after a few minutes of play. I guess that it also works with the only Integrated GPU because there are differences in performance between the modes 'High Performance' and 'Save energy' in the ATI drivers.

    So I decided to install the new version of Catalyst 12.6 beta which has full support for mobile and swichable graphics. Alfer, Rage finallny works like a charm - no falls down and inprovement of great performance, but the BONE started to freeze and crash. Also other games began to work more bad. On official catalyst 12.4 site AMD form is identical on 12.6 beta.

    And the strangest thing is that my friend has the Asus laptop with the same features of the CPU and GPU, and he has not had problems using the latest drivers form AMD site.

    If you have any sugestions how to solve that or what is going on, please help me

    OK, I solved the problem. Just had to uninstall Amd accelerated video transcoding device and now all works well on catalyst 12.4 in the site of AMD.

  • Problem with my Lenovo Ideapad Flex 15 touchscreen driver

    Nice day!

    I'm having a problem with my Flex 15 touchscreen. I can't use the touch more. I tried to check the Device Manager, but found no driver installed touchscreen. I had this problem when I have not used/turned on my laptop for almost weeks of towing. I've already tried some I read on the forums, but the results were the same. I still can't use my touch screen properties. What should I do? Thank you for your response. My laptop was running windows 8.

    Hello Ronald.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. The issue has started happening recently?
    2. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

    This problem occurs when there is that no updated drivers are there for the material. As you have tried most troubleshooting including reset, I suggest you try to install the updated for touchscreen drivers and chipset drivers and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Uninstall and reinstall the driver for Interface devices and check the issue. 

    Follow the steps below to uninstall the drivers.

    1. Press the Windows key + X , and then select Device Manager.
    2. You can search for Devices of Interface and expand it.
    3. Right-click on the Devices of Interface and select Uninstall.
    4. Restart your computer. Windows will install the generic drives after reboot.

    Look for the question, if it persists the passage to the next method.

    Method 2:

    Uninstall and reinstall the chipset drivers and display drivers.

    Follow the steps in method 1 to uninstall display drivers and chipset drivers but it does not restart, you need to download the driver from the link below.

  • My experience with the Satellite X 200

    Hello world

    For those of you who have decided to upgrade your X 200 laptop, here is a tip from experience.

    1 - upgrade your stock 2 GB to 4 GB RAM. I bought my 4 GB on Ebay for 57 euros.
    You will notice a REAL increase in the speed of your system. Especially if you are dealing with large pictures or video, as I do.
    Windows Vista doesn't recognize only 3 GB of Ram, but the rest of 1 GB will be reserved for your graphics card. You will notice a much better chart performance as I did. No jumps of image and the more fluid images using big resolutions and heavy parameters.

    2. don't spend your money upgrading your 4,200 RPM HDD for a 7,200 unless you REALLY need.
    My computer came with a 300 GB 4,200 RPM HARD drive. I installed a 100 Gb 7,200 RPM Seagate Momentus and have not found a dramatic speed increase, so returned to large size disk.

    See you soon,.

    Hi André

    Thanks for these tips. I really appreciate it.

    Just a small comment about point 1.

    As far as I know Vista recognizes only the 3 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS. But Microsoft has released a version of Vista SP1 beta.
    This is a beta and not fully tested version, but it should solve the problem with 3 GB of RAM. After the SP1 installation Vista should recognize 4 GB.

    Best regards

  • Experience with the acquisition of digital workflow series of ADC on SPI or Microwire

    Dear Forum,

    I would like to acquire a digital stream via a connection series of two sons of an analog-digital chip such as AD7679. The device says it is compatible with SPI and Microwire to achieve protocols.

    There are screws for the manipulation of these protocols series? And can I use a card in the series M as the PXI-6289 for this?

    Thank you!

    Hi cwierzynski,

    Thanks for your post!  For your application, I highly recommend the USB-8451, designed to connect with SPI hardware.  You can program your application in LabVIEW using NOR-845 x driver, which installs several examples for you're going to get.

    Theoretically you could do with a unit of the M series, because they have the ability of/s digital correlated (timed by the hardware).  You will have to implement the whole of the Protocol in the software yourself.  All up packets in the shape and alignment of the data will be done by programming, as well as addressing slaves. This would, of course, the overhead costs of any program running in Windows.  If you are interested in going this route, this forum should help you get started in the right direction.
