The Microsoft warranty expires

My computer is so slow and we seem to be unable to enter into anything without the computer freezes and today I got a call from the India saying they have something to do with Microsoft and because the Microsoft warranty has expired whenever connect us to internet infection comes in the computer and I have to re - activate the warranty that would cost me money.  They talked me through something on the computer that showed 2035 red error and triangles of yellow signs, they me connected to their technician who took my computer to clear these errors, but then I became suspicious and I turned off the internet after that my son advised me.  They then called back me and I told them what I had done, and they said they would send a report through Microsoft.  They wanted to charge me to re - activate the Microsoft warranty and I said, I would like to buy a new computer rather than pay money on the internet because I didn't know if it was a scam or not, but he said, even if I bought a new computer I would still have to pay for re - activate the warranty.  Is this true?  Help

It's a scam.  I'm glad you don't fall for it.  All other calls suggest that tell you the caller you brought calls to the police who should dissuade continue to harass you.

  • The software warranty expires?

    Hi all

    I received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft who advised the than expiration of the warranty of the software from my computer? They needed to help me fix my computer and asked for my id of the computer.   I gave them my ID, so they could remote access to my computer.  This has proved to be a case of sale or scam.  Now I feel my computer is compromised.  What can I do to change my id and to prevent hackers or viruses etc. ?  Hope someone can help. Thank you

    There is no such thing as security software with Windows.

    Remote access is possible only when you allow a connection. Do a full virus scan of your PC and scan with MalwareBytes and Microsoft Security Scanner

    See the list of programs and features of software that it does not recognize. If you are not sure a request here or do a Google search.

    So I know that the warranty covers some damages and stuff like that, but when my warranty expires, can I still get updates in HP Support Assistant? or is that related to my warranty as well?

  • Satellite P105-S9722: need info on the Toshiba warranty policy

    Hello

    I have a question about the Toshiba international warranty policy, I searched but did not find the answer on the site.

    I have a P105-S9722 I bought February last year and the warranty expired in Feb 08.
    The whole screen has been replaced for free in November last due to a failure.

    Now, I have a related problem screen developed a few days ago (gray vertical line in the Middle - probably needs another replacement). (the initial expiration date is more, 7 months since the replacement)

    I would like to know if the screen can I extended warranty Auto for another year 1 (from Nov 07) or not. Local distributor said 'no', I called another country, they said only for the replaced, it IS extended. Now I am confused if I pretend to replace it for free.

    What is then the standard of international politics and what should I do?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi Laszlo

    Hmm. Your laptop is an American series and it seems to be designed for the American market.
    I'm not sure about the warranty but American policy as far as I know the European specifications are covered by the warranty for a year.

    It is a standard warranty and if you register your laptop on the European site of Toshiba, then, your guarantee will be extended to 2 years.

    If something has been replaced on your laptop, then the new part is covered by the warranty for about 6 months.

    I hope that this brief explanation helps you and clarify warranty issues.

    Greetings

  • When are you going to fix the Microsoft Wireless Mouse overheating Nano receiver?

    I bought one about a month ago Microsoft 4000 wireless mouse. Yesterday he is receiving died on me. I suspect the short-circuit. After some research, I realized that I was not alone with this problem, it could be a default of series.

    Once the question has appeared on the forum before (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/thread/727a8f10-4aaf-4f1e-bea1-3a73f7e62cf9) but the problem was quickly rejected.

    I bought the whole thing on a trip in Europe and cannot be replaced. So the question is: If we trust Microsoft for the second time and buy the same mouse again or opt for something else? I need a mouse that works on rough surfaces. But right now, I may need to overcome my taste for the device and opt for Logitech to anywhere, at least that you reassure me that you will have the transceiver replaced soon.

    Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000

    Microsoft Replacement Tel: 800-933-4750.  Product ID = D5D-00001.  Have your mouse 4000 handy when you call.  They will need the product ID (PID) from the bottom.

    They will replace your for free .  Replacements carry a warranty of 3 years.  You must keep the PID of the original mouse for the replacement warranty.

  • Help, please! Impossible to pass the local account on the Microsoft account.

    I got a Samsung ATIV smart PC 500 t as a gift today and I'm going to be very difficult to implement. I tried on and off for about 14 hours now without success.  Here is what happened:

    I've updated the PC software told me to. (there was a brochure stating that I needed to update before using my keyboard dock)

    I put the PC by using a local account, because for some reason, he said it was impossible to add my Microsoft account I created today specifically for this PC.

    I tried several times to switch to the Microsoft account and I get the error message

    "We're sorry, but something went wrong. your account has not been changed to this account from Microsoft.

    "Code: 0x800b0101.

    What does that mean? Why this is happening and what needs to be done to solve this problem?

    I also tried using the tiles, hoping maybe going this route would allow me access to my Microsoft account so that I can at least use the apps and what not.  When you try to open the store, I have this message: 'we are could not connect to the Bank. This could have happened due to a server problem or network connection has expired. Please wait a few minutes and try again. "I also tried via the contacts, messages and weather applications. Whenever I get similar error messages.

    Of course, I am not very computer savvy, my internet connection is working properly, I am able to access the various web pages (even if I get a warning message of security for each of them, which is very annoying).

    Anyway, I can't understand this. Does anyone have a tip or useful information? Can I use my PC.

    Thank you!!

  • Impossible to install W8.1, impossible to install the KB2862973 update with error code 80073712, cannot connect to the microsoft account

    I have 64-bit Windows 8 and all these problems started when I tried to install the 8.1 update.  Whenever I try to go to the store to update to 8.1 I get the error message saying "we were unable to connect to the store. This could have happened due to a server problem or network connection has expired.  Please wait a few minutes and try again. "So I looked at this topic and you have tried all the tips of help from Microsoft, convenience stores, store transparent cache, etc. etc. etc. etc.. I can not connect to the store at all. Now I can't change users to a Microsoft account because it tells me that when I try that "we could not connect to the Microsoft services right now.  If this problem persists, look for 'referee' on the start screen. "I also performed this task without success.  Then I have a Windows update KB2862973 that fails to install and gives the error code 80073712.  I looked for solutions to this problem, and those who have tried unsuccessfully.  I really need someone to tell me how to fix all these issues, because I believe they should be linked.  It is a desktop pc Dell that is connected to the internet without any problem and is only about 1 year. I am tech savy, but need HELP!
