Sansa e280 my sansa e 280 doesn't work anymore but i bought the warranty from bestbuy that covers anything that happens to it. the only problem is that i see that online they don't sell it anymore. any one know what will happen if i get to the store to get a new one an they don't carry them anymore?

If the dial doesn't spin, then unfortunately your Fuze is physically damaged, and will need to be repaired.

If the dial stopped working on its on, versus not working due to physical damage inflicted by being dropped, abuse etc., and your player is less than one year old, it is covered under SanDisk's warranty service. Email [email protected] to ask about this. They will probably want you to provide proof of purchase (showing date and place of purchase and name of the reseller).

Is you service plan from Apple or is it from a store like bestbuy? If it you only have apple care then they will not do anything for you, they only cover defects, and rarely even cover that. If you have a warranty from say bestbuy you will be able to bring it in and get a new one free of charge.

you can contact Acer via their website and they will direct you to a local provider or they will send you a replacement.

Sansa clip for MP3 music only, cheap & lightweight with great sound- better than the bigger Sansa 250 I bought. I love my 30GB Zune, but it isn't available anymore- I lucked out and got one of the last ones for $99

Generally I don't like players that are tied to a subscription or 3rd party affiliations like the Sansas I bought from Bestbuy. But then I have about 1,000 rare vinyl records from my old school DJing days- so I don't care to buy the tunes I already have and use a hardware device to convert my tunes to MP3 and load them from my pc or burn them to play on a MP3 disc player.

Most players seem to have subscription shovelware installed, so there's no getting around that. but some are worse than others
such as the Sansa 250 2GB from BestBuy that I ended up removing the BestBuy version and reinstalling a clean Sansa firmware. If I would have bought the same unit with out all the promotional **** on it I would have enjoyed it and used it more and not wasted my time uninstalling and reinstalling the firmware.

It was a mess- the "radio" downloaded a bunch of **** that nearly filled up the whole memory so there was no room for the MP3s I actually wanted to load. The 'free' subscription only lasted a short while and I was unable to delete from the menu without being connected to the pc (this was restored by uninstalling the promotional version). I didn't use it everyday and found myself unable to listen to the MP3s without "renewing their licenses" on the days I decided to listen to it. After uninstalling and reinstalling the clean firmware I regained functionality.

My recommendation is to get a name brand player after you try them at a retailer to decide which suits your need best for screen, weight, size, capacity & budget. Look for one that is expandable with a microSD card since the cards are swappable and capacity is getting cheaper everyday- much cheaper than buying a new player with more GB. Then shop for price and the subscription bloatware on the units you look at. Don't overlook online retailers like NewEgg etc.

Please-Don't waste your money on a GPX anything or some other off brand that will fail within a week if you ever can get them to work at all. You know the saying "you get what you pay for?" - well, wiith GPX you get much less than you pay for.

They [samsung/maytag] still have to honor the warranty , call another service company I went through a similar issue.

The Sansa doesn't play music through the USB port. You can connect the Sansa to your stereo via the Sansa's headphone jack.

is it still covered by warranty? do you see anything on the screen for example if you place it under a lamp, do you see anything on the screen? that would mean the backlight is faulty.

you may have a faulty backlight or loose connector. If you got warranty that will cover the fix.

It's odd that BestBuy did not send you're notebook back to HP for you but the BestBuy you are talking about is not in the USA.
The HP Pavilion DV2125NR. Bought December 2007 is still under warranty. Most laptops & desktops come with a one year warranty, unless you paied for an extended warranty. For the HP Pavilion DV2125NR, contact HP directly for a RMA. You will may have to pay for shipping to HP USA. Hp will ship back to you free. To contact HP.
You must first get a return material authorization number (RMA) by calling us at 1- (888) 999-4747. You can also call,
Customer Service http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/help.do?leftNavIndicator=customer%20service

The notebook bought in December 2006 is not within warranty, (Unless you bought an extended service). As you mentioned.
I would not trust the BestBut in Venezuela. It seems they may have stated bad boards just to get ridd of you.
It is alway best to talk directly to HP/Compaq customer service before making any decision.

Hope you find this information helpful.
Luck!

My Sansa also failed to turn on. But what happened to me was that I unplugged the USB while it's connecting. After that I cannot sync with my computer anymore, so I tried turning it off and on couple times and at the end the whole thing won't turn on anymore. I talked to the SanDisk tech. You can try what he told me: take out the battery; press and hold the power button for 45 sec (this will drain the power in the capacitor...they call it "soft reset"); then put the battery back in and try to turn on the mp3 player. That didn't work for me. I just bought this a month ago so i guess because of the warranty, they will send me a brand new one. I hope this help.
