| 1188295 | 2011-03-22 02:06:00 | I have recently had dealings with them. They had my Pavillion laptop for at least 2.5 months and then returned it as not being able to be fixed [blank screen problem] As they couldn't fix it I brought a new laptop After I had it back I decided to take it to another repairer who fixed it within 5 days at reasonable cost. To make the situation worse they [GIGA] returned it with the Wifi card missing so I had to pay for another Wifi to be fitted - I did not return it to GIGA to do that as I had no confidence in their competency The community needs to be aware that you use GIGA at your peril as they are not competent or professional |

| 1188297 | 2011-03-22 02:24:00 | I have notified Gigabyte in Taiwan of the logo theft.... EDIT: Ironically, there are a Gigabyte parts supplier. I suspect for not much longer.... |

| 1188300 | 2011-03-22 10:24:00 | I tried them several years ago. Epic fail, and with zero interest in rectifying their shortcomings. They were not on my Xmas card list then, and they are not going on it now. I obviously can't say they acted like lying cheats, but I can think it. |

| 1188301 | 2011-03-22 20:42:00 | Couple of things here: Not defending them in any way - 2.5 months -- you got to be joking. :groan: 2.5 weeks maybe if waiting on parts. If you paid Giga to do the work, and they couldn't fix it, but some other place could, then I would suspect under the CGA, you can be refunded your Money from Giga. ( with the possible exception if they charge an inspection fee - normally only a minor cost - Eg: HP charge $90 ) If they didn't charge because they couldn't fix it - then no come back, apart from them keeping your Wifi card -- which they have to give you back unless you stated otherwise. Second: the logo -- Its not quite the same as Gigabytes - the gigabyte Logo has a red triangle under the G, where as Giga Computers has a Square -- so its not an exact copy. And they may have permission to use it slightly altered since they are distubritors of Gigabyte. |

And they may have permission to use it slightly altered since they are distubritors of Gigabyte . Hmm . Maybe, but this is what I got back from Gigabyte (in Chinglish, as you can see :)): Dear John , Thank you for your kindly mail . We appreciate your information and we already forward it to our legal department to handle this case . Have a nice day! Regards, GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY It looks close enough to be actionable . . . . |
