It sometimes irks me that I.T. in the service industry is looked down upon. I suppose it is because there are so many sharks out there. It is not a new thing either. Years ago, when I was an FSE, there was a start-up OEM that had a vision to make it in the market. They would market their equipment with only the best internals. That meant no cheap fong kong parts. All parts would be certified and carry the maximum warranty they allowed. It was marketed as such. As a supplier OEM, they supplied distributors and stores with these computers. The PC’s were meticulously sealed with warranty void stickers. They also sold all their parts loose. The distributor agreement meant you could only supply the box with Y parts. The company I worked for was tasked with the warranty repairs. We went for rigorous training at this OEM. The problem we started running into was that the contents of the box did not match the warranty specifications. We started seeing Connor drives instead of Seagate (example), and so forth. Now customers were allowed to upgrade their PC’s; however, these did not carry the PC warranty. ** | It sometimes irks me that I.T. in the service industry is looked down upon.

**Needless to say, there were endless fights about money as our company billed them a call out regardless if the part was theirs or not, as the box serial number was used for warranty. The biggest issue was RAM. More often than not, the cheapest RAM (which was faulty) was found in the PC and the owner swears on a stack of bibles, he never changed it. (The second problem was flimsy power supplies, the kind that wobble in a stiff breeze). Sitting down one afternoon and consolidating my calls, I realised the problem was originating from ONE reseller. This guy was buying cases and selling warranties for brand X with the cheapest and nastiest components inside. We had to refuse warranty repair and void said warranty, which made the customers mad. This led to really nasty letters to the press and ultimately the demise of the OEM start-up. These days that market is filled 80/20 with sharks and I fear it will never come right. Do we have a way to solve this problem?** | **Needless to say, there were endless fights about money as our company billed them a call out regardless if the part was theirs or not, as the box serial number was used for warranty.
