fuwell .. i had a unpleasant incident.. my graphic card was failing n i tried calling the shop several times but no one picked up .. i tried a few days n this ran into wks .. finally i called the tech line instead .. a ah neh picked up n gave me a super farked up ans asking me to bring down my card to a place for service . as i wasnt really good in pc n plus i dunno the place well i asked for directions n telephone number, but the ah neh didnt give such details but tried to direct me in broken england.

so i went down fuwell after a couple of wks when my card finally broke down. the shop was quite managable as it is abt closing time . some guy at the counter direct me to a place again but he expect me to know for the 1st time!!he did so without any patience n was more like brushing me off cos i wasnt buying any things.

i had to asked a few times n make it seemed tat he is the customer instead of me , only then he gave a number for me .. again without much directions given Mad

I went to SLS and asked bell a quote for a new rig with a budget of 3k.

The chap was friendly, patient and pretty pro. He said, i dont need pay for over priced parts even tho he can happily earn it.

So he slashed my specs to like 1.6 and 2.6k (if i insist on quadcore) nia.

That's why I never buy DIY... Laughing

OasisBlue SG

my fav shop is bell… at the 5th floor…

Sekundes SG

True mine too...
The only 2 shops i visit in sim lim with the greatest service i encountered in sim lim

Elite infotech, And bell

Elite infotech 4th floor
Bell on fth..

those shops on the second and third are not very trust worthy.

Espcially SONG BROTHERS!

I, myself also a IT support office dealing with DIY system or any IT products. I will tell you straightaway. TROUBLESHOOTINg IS not that easy that looks like.

Even my senior with a MCSE also don't know how to troubleshoot..

LL, we also said we will solve it but infact, we surf the net for more info..

Mid9Sun SG

thats why i am very inclinded to buy from like hp/dell etc..cos got problem they fix..i no headache as compared to diy

innosaint SG

Hp/dell coms HDD always dead exactly in a yr! So be prepared to fork money to change a new one.

videopro and fuwell. fuwell prices are starting to be less competitive, so for now i say videopro, service is pretty good as well. yeah had a bad experience with pc themes as well. they took 4 bloody hours to fix up my friends diy system.

Did i hear someone say Videopro service good??

Fuwell, yes maybe but Videopro services & price maybe shld see the comments at Hardwarezone.com they give. .... & it's not on the good side Definately. Laughing

Hell....if come to worst, buy yr DIY fr Courts lor. They hv that as well now, & will be better service than all of SLS or Funan. Mr. Green

CKeer SG

Orhh. Noted. Very Happy

Cheers.

I'm not surprised that MCSE professionals know nuts about troubleshooting. Because that's not their jobs. Laughing

An A+ technician will know better than the MCSE technician.

Croaking_Toad SG

I second Fuwell too Very Happy

Just want to provide some information for people buying and assembling DIY computers.

1. Check for completeness of your products before leaving the store. For example: The mainboard package usually comes with 1 or 2 SATA cables, PATA cables and 1 floppy drive cable. If it is not in the box, there are 2 possibility: the retailer took them out or the distributor forget to put them inside.

2. Discharge your body from static electricity before touching any electronic component. This is to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components while handling them.

3. While assembling the system, always disconnect or switch off the 240 AC power to the power supply unit.

4. After completing the PC assembly, check that all connections are connected properly at the RIGHT place before the first power up to the whole system. The wrong voltage supplied to a electronic device has a very high chance of damaging it.

5. Most mainboard related problems can be solved by just by updating the BIOS firmware of the mainboard. After updating the BIOS, if it does not work, then the mainboard had suffered permanent physical damage and the only thing you can do is to send the mainboard to the DISTIBUTOR for RMA or replacement.

6. It is always better to sent just the malfunction device to the distributor for servicing/replacement rather than bring the entire CPU set to the retailer for analysis. The distributors have better capabilities in handling malfunction products then the retailers. (For example: If you buy a Nokia phone, it malfunction, do you look for the retailer or sent it to Nokia Service Center?)

This is just my recommended way of handling DIY computers. Of course, you can always have your own way of doing things, but you are just learning things the hard way.
