• Received a call from the agent to inform that they are with the Windows Service Center, is this a hoax?

  I had a pohone call from someone in India who says he works for the Windows Service Center.  The number they gave me to call back was 13212806757.  Finally, I clung to the top.  Is it a hoax?

• I downloaded Windows XP from the Windows Service Center. It is an exe file. How can I extract this to a disc and burn I can install it?

  I downloaded Windows XP from the Windows Service Center. It's a .exe. When I click on it, it is extracted to a folder I called "xp". How can I obtain these data on a disk to install XP from a CD? Should what steps I take? I am running Windows 7.

  original title: Burning a disk XP

  Putting aside if the 64-bit version of XP is what you need, when you ran the exe, the file that was extracted (i.e., in the folder named "xp") should have been an ISO file.

  Files ISO are CD images and are intended to be burned (NOT copied) to a writable CD.

  Assuming that you have the correct hardware (CD burner), you can burn your ISO as described here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file

  Note that what you downloaded is NOT "Windows XP Mode" which is available for use with Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition.  The image you uploaded is for installation on a separate computer (or in a dual-boot configuration) - assuming you have the required license keys.

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  Change all your sensitive passwords at all sites - e-mail, Bank, credit cards and others. (Do not

  You can even restore your system to factory fresh to make sure their software violates not

• Does not touch the iPhone 6 after 18 months of use.  Apple Service Center is not able to solve the problem it could material being associated and returned the phone, now I'm stuck with this expensive junk, the Iphone above 6 serious problem?

  I am in India, I was using Iphone 6, 16GB, for the last 18 months, bought in Australia, progressively, the touch screen not responding. Then the problem started to happen frequently. I said, all ideas update, (9.3.2) reset, restore, etc., etc., nothing helped, finally the Apple so-called service center has confirmed that it is a hardware problem, is not repairable and advised me to return the phone and scrap it or to pay nearly 60% of the phone cost to get another phone as replacement. (It might be a refurbished phone).  As I see a lot of complaints in the blogs on the problems of the iphone 6, Apple has not taken any measure to solve my problem and trying to make more money on behalf of replacement... Now I'm stuck with such a pricey gadget... should I buy new Iphone?

  Sorry, but an iPhone can be repaired by Apple or a Service provider authorized Apple in the country of purchase. If you think of buying a new device, buy it in the country where you will use it will save you a lot of trouble if you need service.

  And, according to usage, a 16 GB model might not have enough free space left to work properly, which can also cause the phone to lag and unresponsive at times.

• If the third party amendment by the authorized service center which is then liable to a client in good faith?

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  I'm an avid user of your iphone device 6 more, I bought my iphone 6 more 64 GB on aug-2015 but I just use this device only for a month and the rest of the time machine is with the service center or a lot of problem. I bought the iphone as a better phone in my life, but since the day I bought this phone I have faced the problem and until today, I had a same problem. For this problem, I called your service the customer more than 100 times and I visited your center customer service more than 10 times, including 7 times, they supported my phone without even looking at what the problem is all about, and 3 times, they have just updated the software of the phone and return to me , on January 15, 2016 when I presented my iphone with kamla nagar service center, they had my phone with them for a week and after a week they just gave my phone back by saying simply that there was a software problem that is updated by our care. 28 January 2016 again I need the visit to your service center of kamla nagar for the same question and they are with themselves for 2 week and after that they called and said that on device rear panel is pregnant by third party do, thereafter for 2 weeks, I presented my phone with the PSN Service Center and they said that your phone is already open by third party.

  I bought this phone because of its good will and after-sales service, but after seeing so many obstacles in first 6 months of the purchase I would please mention its my humble request to pay my money back because now somewhere down the line I would prefer not to use any Apple product and I probably make sure that none of my friends use it either. And Apple is such a renowned brand, I'm sure they won't be happy to see themselves in the Court of the consumer.

  Make sure that the worksheet

  You do not discuss Apple here. It is a forum for technical support to the user. Is this service center you mention an Apple authorized Service provider, or is it a real Apple Store? If it's an Apple authorized service provider, then you will need to start your question with them. If you want to try to contact Apple, you can use this support document to see if there is a number that you can use in your area. Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

More than two months, but my laptop is not yet repaired and handed to me. I was told parts will come from the United States that the laptop was bought out of the India. Even I myself not provided any reference number for tracking online... pls somane can give me info how to log a complaint for Toshiba U.S. or Japan against this bad service Toshiba in India... now I doubt that the laptop can be never repaired and made to me... my job is also severely affected because of this...
  Cel: + 919930716168 / email: [email protected]

  The Service is owned by Toshiba? What is an ASP?

  I guess spare parts from overseas could take weeks/months to happen, especially if the piece is out of stock.

  You must call the Service Center and get an update. Ask them if the component is out of stock.

  It is sometimes the case that what you see in the updates are behind (not common) to the real situation.  Assuming that the laptop has arrived in the HP repair center, then tape (update your information) can be simply obsolete.

• Authorized service center does not look at my camera, Z3compact, out of warranty

  Allowed to my current place of residence service centre refuses to repair or even take a look at my z3 compact because they are not those who sold it to me.

  I got my camera from a neighboring country, to another distributor Sony '' authorized. "

  Is this some kind of joke, "allowed"?

  Sony has authorized service centers, but they do not accept to repair the devices not sold by them specifically.

  What I really have to wait for my next trip to the place where I got on the phone to fix it?

  So, what's the point of 'authorized service centers "?

  Sorry, but I'm a little upset by the situation and all the 'authorized' rubish

  Thank you for your response.

  My phone stopped responding after a while when I plugged in the charger after turning off due to low battery.

  No led light when connected to the charger nothing. Love - [https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Compact/Sudden-Death-of-Sony-xperia-Z3-Compact/td-p/877345]...

  I left the phone for a day, and the next day when I plugged in the charger it started to load. Also, he began to start, but kept at restarting during boot animation process.

  So, I flashed the latest version of the software using Flashtool, Androxyde since I use linux and do not have access to a Windows PC.

  Now it starts up to the configuration of the process, but restarting once more before I could complete the setting to the top.

  That's when I went to the service center authorized, and tried to get help. What they did not even check the problem.

  The other day, I found a shop that also serves the phones and they took a glance at my camera.

  The technician said it could be a software problem and in any case, they will all first make sure before diagnosing the battery (and opening the unit).

  They have restored the software and it starts without any problem. Thus, since 2-3 days my phone has worked.

  It's a shame that I've been denied service to the AUTHORIZED service center for a simple issue that could have quickly repaired with a software upgrade.

  I understand now why Sony was victim when it comes to its mobile division, because they are dealing with horrible service centres when there are other ones that actually try to fix your phone and not force you to buy a new one rather than repair.

  If only Sony listen to complaints, even if they might be stupid. But stupid situations like these are where you're losing customers.

  When an unauthorized service center is ready to give me the time to listen and to try to fix my phone, while the AUTHORIZED service center does not even look my camera, it says a lot about society.

  Thank you for your time

• HP Support Assistant and public service center

  Windows 8.1: I tried to update the HPSA from the download Web site, the installation failed and gives error 1603 error during installation, see Windows Installer (Msi.chm) MSDN help. I tried the same thing once again. I tried to uninstall in Control Panel programs it does not find necessary files. The same problem occurs with the public service center.

  The computer of my wifes HP Windows 8.1 HPSA had updates of hardware problems after installing one for WI - FI and HP support by phone me reinstall the HPSA Web site, it worked well he then pursued the conclusion/download/install updates. A week later, he continues to automatically find, download, and install updates material very well.

  If you can restore the initial framework of HP software using the restore method I listed above and then try the suggested fix (restore HPSA, install the update).

  If you can't get it back, here is the download for 8.0: HP software framework

  Make sure that you disable the programs before proceeding with all stages of work in the background: prevent opening software programs when Windows starts (Windows 8)

  I hope that it works, the next steps are probably a factory restore.

  Hi @smainwal! Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums!

  It is a forum for user usr, we are not employees of BlackBerry and I think that these Service BlackBerry centers aren't either.  So the best thing you can do is to contact them directly or go to their service center, I'm sorry I can't help you with this question. Also, avoid posting personal information in the forums next time
