I tried to use skype on my NEW laptop only to find out that my web cam wasnt working at all. I looked in the manuel for a little help only to find writing on the page about the web cam. Aparently someone had already called customer service and tried to reinstall and fix the problem to no avail. There was was writing about where they called in the Phillipines, case number and a couple instructions.
I brought the computer back to the store and explained the situation. Someone had preveously bought the laptop, noticed the web cam wasnt working and called for help only to return it to the store. the store then aparently boxed up the laptop and resold it to me as a NEW laptop.
when i brought it back explaining the situation they offered me a measley $50. seriously, how many other people have been sold computers as new that are used and defective.

Crying and whining here like a little bitch and pussy such as Steve will not help...But a little common sense, effort, and a simple phone call can work wonders if you really truly want to have this matter resolved.

You can get your money back that way.
