Warning about Marquis MP977 warranty - General Topics

Hello and thanks to all of you geniuses who can answer almost ANY question EVER.
I just want to briefly warn everyone about my recent experience with my Marquis MP977.
First let me say that over the past 8 years or so I have had at least five devices repaired or replaced FOR FREE because their one-year warranty was still active and none had any damage or had been "tampered with" as the phrase goes... ALL of these devices were purchased in the used market and so I did not have ANY proof of purchase from the original Retailers.
Recently I became the owner of a Marquis MP977, purchased used in "like new" condition. Soon enough, the tablet, though fully charged, stopped powering up, and cannot be recognized by my laptop which prevents me from being able to flash or update firmware, or conduct any troubleshooting.
I opened up a case with Marquis, and here is an excerpt from their Customer Support Department:
"Yes, we can honor the warranty without a receipt, as all of our tablets produced are still within the one-year warranty (the only way to void that would be through accidental damage, or tampering)."
Sounds good, right? Wrong. After exchanging several messages online, I finally got their "Senior Support Representative" (Scott) to call me, and he said Marquis will not honor an active, valid warranty unless a proof of purchase from the original retailer is provided.
Maybe this won't matter to many of you, but I just wanted to let people know that Marquis will not honor their warranty without a proof of purchase from the original retailer even if the product is only a few weeks old, is like new, and has not been "tampered with".
Marquis is the first and ONLY company I have had this issue with.
This post is not intended to imply Marquis products are bad, but it is my opinion that with any electronic device, a trustworthy warranty is a primary deciding factor in making a purchase, new or otherwise.
If anyone has an opinion on this I'd be interested in hearing it. Thanks again to all.

Buy a square trade warranty....that's what I did. And it covers everything for 2 years....just got a screen replaced! It was shattered when one of my kids stepped on it. It might work for you.

[Q] Question about HTC Global Warranty

Sorry if this can't be asked here.
My question is, what is the extent of the coverage? Any details at all if possible from anyone who's had their phone physically damaged without warranty from the seller.
My situation is: bought a Touch HD from clove.co.uk a month ago, without insurance, and my dog just recently destroyed it . I called the north american service hotline, and heard my case, and suggested I call the hotline for the country my phone came from. Which I'll have to do tomorrow as theyre only open 8am - 8pm eastern time (im in CA).
So please, anyone with a similar experience, please let me know what can be done. Bad news or good news, doesn't matter.
Oh then the guy said "happy holidays".
Hi. Wow expensive chew toy! I will tell you from experience HTC is the absolute worst company I have ever had to deal with especially for warranty! I swear they will do everything in their power to avoid honoring the warranty so be careful how you answer their questions.
One example: I bought a used HTC S710 off ebay that was only 2 months old but had some keys that were not working right after about a month. Seller even gave me a copy of his original receipt showing it was under warranty which had 9 months left by time I realized the problem. First guy I talked to said it had to of been damage I caused or accused me of getting it wet but I didn't think that was the case. I know I didn't do either & it had been working for awhile & either way you'd think it should be covered under warranty within the 1st year or they'd at least look at it. When I brought up if it would be covered under warranty he said it depends on if it was damage I caused or not. Next guy I talked to asked if I had the original receipt & if I was the original purchaser. I said yes & no. Then I was told it was non transferable & only good for the original purchaser. I asked the seller if he'd mind sending it in for me & he said sure no problem. Well the next HTC guy said the warranty was invalid because they knew the phone had been resold. (It seems they take notes when you call in) They said they'd be happy to look at it but it'd be at least $80 & could be $120 for keypad issue & maybe much more depending on what the problem was, it could even hit $200 which is almost as much as I paid for the phone! I asked about buying parts & they send they don't sell to end users. I do some computer support for a company that sells & repairs cell phones (Sprint/Nextel) & had them contact HTC to find out they couldn't buy parts either. Run around left & right. I ended up buying replacement parts on ebay for like $30 & fixed it myself. It was a pain but it worked & I didn't give them my $. I swore I'd never buy another HTC but here I am with a Touch Dual & a Fuze. lol
I've read similar horror stories on the net so I know I'm not alone. Moral of the story is don't rely on HTC to honor any warranty & if they do you are one lucky SOB. I highly doubt they are going to cover yours if it is obvious it was chewed on (or dropped or run over or sat on or got wet etc) as they'll say it was abused & not a manufacturer's defect & therefore not warranty. (Not sure any company will cover such things, that is what insurance is for. lol) Odds are they'll gladly offer for you to ship it to them & they'll fix it for a fee but you might be better off cutting your losses now & selling it as-is for parts & buying a replacement. Along with some raw hide bones for yer pooch.
Good luck!
Bill
Ah, figured as much.
Yeah I don't put any faith at all into manufacturer warranties, I just wish they had hearts . But really, this blows and the irony is that earlier I was telling myself, after weeks of tweaking, that I'd lose some hair if I have to hard-reset anytime soon.
Looks like that statement was taken to the extreme....

I wanted to buy my device abroad, and lucky me, I called reseller here.
Answer was "Warranty is valid only locally", meaning only in my country for device bought in my country!
And sorry to say, damage caused by a dog is not covered by warranty! At least here...

Adding my bit to the piece. Even when its a genuine fault, they are still hopeless.

Squaretrade warranties, seeking feedback

Who has or have directly known anyone that has purchased a third-party insurance/warranty from squaretrade? I ask because I read good things about their warranties but can not find "real" (actual people on this board or elsewhere) who can give testimony for either good or bad.
I purchased a Sprint branded Touch Pro (using it on Verizon) from ebay, and it came in immaculate condition and fully functional as the seller stated. At the time, I thought the squaretrade warranty offered by the seller on ebay was a scam, but for $48 I figured it was cheap insurance. I know sometimes parts fail and as luck has it, the USB charge/sync port failed. I am in no way blaming the seller and am not going to try to scam my money back from them. Verizon will not touch it as it is not a device they sell technically and Sprint won't touch it either as I do not have a line of service with them.
HTC will not warranty it for free as I am not the original purchaser, and offer repairs at an estimated cost at or above what I paid for the device off ebay.
I filed a claim with squaretrade as my warranty states I am entitled to, and they promptly approved my claim and emailed me a pre-paid UPS return shipping label and claim they will have it repaired "usually within five days of receiving the device". I boxed it up, filled out the simple form they required and shipped it off.
Now this being my first time using this company and their service, up to this point I am pleased with them. Their customer service seems to be on par with Asurion and other types of services I have used in the past. I will be more than happy to update this thread when I receive my device back in working order and give a rating here.
Thanks for reading this rather long post, and I ask anyone who has dealt with them in the past to chime in with any feedback, good or bad regarding Squaretrade and their services.
Have you received the phone back yet? If so/if not - remember to update us on this!
I was wondering if you got the phone back from squareTrade yet.
I would like to use them but like you would like to know that there are real people out there who are satisfied with them.

[Q] Replacement Dock and Tablet Despite Unlock?

Will Best Buy give me a replacement dock and tablet if I cite the dock malfunction despite my having unlocked the tablet?
I have a similar question here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646723
I think we should be OK to unroot & wipe... **waits for confirmation!**
You unlocked the boatloader?
You've officially lost warranty.
Though, you can allways hope they wont notice..
but thats losing warranty with asus. not best buy, i doubt anyone at bestbuy is smart enough to know anything about it and best buys warranty doesnt say anything about stuff like that. simply, its broke, we replace..
Best Buy Warranty
This depends... if you didn't purchase an extended warranty through them they honor the terms of the manufacturer's warranty. How this is carried out varies from product to product and vendor to vendor. In some cases, the vendor agreement essentially replaces the item out right. In the worst form, the product gets sent back to a manufacturer's authorized service center. Sometimes this is the manufacturer and other times is a third party. I do agree that it is unlikely that anyone at the store level would notice the unlocked bootloader however it may get noticed at the service center.
If you purchased the extended warranty, then most likely the product will not be serviced and it will be replaced.
I will admit that it has been 2 years since I worked in the warranty fulfillment capacity with that company so things may have changed some. Either way I'm glad to have a real job. Hope this helps.
Meh. If they're anything like Walmart, they probably won't even turn it on. I returned 2 tablets to Walmart, and the only hassle I got was from taking the S/N sticker off the second one, and they still took it back.
Does the device say "unlocked" at boot? I just swapped my 16gb for a 32gb and they definitely turned it on to confirm it works.
If it doesn't say unlocked anywhere than I doubt they'd notice.

The device does indeed say that it's unlocked at boot... Will Best Buy actually notice and know what to make of it?

Guy's i've cracked my screen, will huawei replace?

I purchased it in the UK on the 3rd Feb so about 4 weeks out of the free 3 month accidental replacement warranty, do you think they will replace it out of goodwill considering it's only 4 weeks out ?
I would contact Huawei and ask them. We can do nothing but speculate.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA Labs
I'll give them a ring in the morning.
Yes....they have a VIP protection in your case, in mine, they sent the dhl service to my home, packed the phone and they returned a new phone two weeks later, my mate 9 was grey they returned to me a golden one, so make a call to Huawei service, and have in hand copy of your purchase receipt to pack with the phone to send to Huawei service center.
I'll try them this morning, I'm 4 weeks over the vip protection so I'm hoping they do it out of goodwill considering I've only had the phone 4 months.
Spoke to huawei they won't repair it free of charge, not having any of it, even though I've only had the phone 4 months and it's only 4 weeks over the screen replacement warranty programme, whilst i understand it's out of glass warranty, i don't warrant only 4 weeks as being way over and I'm pissed off tbh, i will not purchase any phone that has a warranty by huawei again ?
Its a goodwill warranty not many brands offer free screen replacement! Hard to **** on Huawei in this case!
How much did they quote for out of warranty replacement?
I agree. Huawei are pretty generous even offering the three months free screen replacement. If you want a phone with a longer free replacement, you will be waiting a very long time.
With your next phone, either get a paid-for insurance or treat it more carefully.
Yes i know they offer it free but that's the worst part knowing I'm only 4 weeks out, i wouldn't have been bothered if they didn't offer this at all that i wouldn't have known, the fact it's only 4 weeks out is poor on huawei's part, they said possibly around £110 all in, I'm not paying that, i just won't buy huawei again, in fact I'm waiting for the one plus 5 launch tomorrow and will be pre ordering, now i have a £600 paperweight and huawei are not interested, i won't be interested in any of their phones in the future.
Sorry, I don't understand, you are out of warranty and you blame huawei for don't repair your phone for free?
It just sound weird...
It's not out of warranty, it's warranty until 2020, it's the screen which is 4 weeks out of warranty.
..... and it is the screen that's damaged
Stop complaining its not their fault you cracked the screen. LCD is about 30-40 usd and repairing phones is so easy.
I'm sure if it happened to you and there's no le way in the warranty whatsoever you would be moaning as well, i didn't ask for your opinion, i asked if it happened to anyone else and what the outcome was. If the shoe was on the other foot and all that.
If it was me the screen would of been replaced already. Would of bought the lcd and replaced it, it is soooooooo easy. $40 is not that bad for an lcd. Not giving you my opinion just saying the truth. No one cares if you think that huawei is being unfair or if you're not thinking of buying another huawei phone. Take from this and fix it yourself!
Out of warranty is out of warranty regardless of length. YOU broke it. 1+ wouldn't do any different. Buy a replacement screen and repair it yourself if you don't want to pay them to do it.
Warranty may be meaningless depending on the country you are in.
I bought my phone retail in Australia, dropped it from shirt pocket, in the original case which was on temporarily instead of usual tough case. This transferred force to edge of glass, massive fractures throughout the screen.
I contacted Huawei to find where I could get it officially repaired, maintaining my two year warranty. I was initially told by Huawei customer service after verifying my IMEI number, that I qualified for free screen replacement, but at 6 months this is not true. Australia is 3months, (New Zealand is 12months) for screen replacement I asked for the repairer details, only one company does official repairs in Australia.
Calling the company... $350 but they are waiting for parts... 3-4 weeks. Thinking it strange they can say that so quickly, I pressed for further details.
Apparently they don't repair Huawei, they swap them over and there was an indeterminate period before they would have stock again. I saw information elsewhere they were sending out mate 9's as replacements for Nexus 6p's with dying batteries, I guess that's where their stock went.
I asked Huawei to authorise a third party repair, as there are numerous places in nearby city, rather than interstate for their sole repairer that couldn't repair/replace it. They refused.
So basically I am wondering why I bought retail for a local warranty, when the company is incapable of maintaining supplies to honour any form of the warranty. Investigating further, anyone getting an Australian repair/warranty completed in less than a month for a Huawei is doing very well indeed.
It would be better to buy grey market, and immediately use any local repairer as required, with the saved money from grey import likely covering the first repair. The saved time... a day or so vs a month or more.
I asked Huawei if they would honor the original statement by customer service, PARTICULARLY in light of they were unable to provide a timely repair too.
Five weeks, and much wasted communications later they declined to oblige with a repair and Huawei support told me there were screens finally supplied to the repairer. The same repairer that told me outright they don't repair Huawei units at all. Someone's telling stories and my trust has plummeted. I've also subsequently investigated the satisfaction rate of their repairer and wouldn't trust them with anything other than a direct swap (which clearly accounts for the few positive reviews they have, others are sent phones without batteries, headphone sockets and other mind boggling faults) So, two months later my screens still broken, time to find repairer or supply of a genuine screen, seems half the screens on fleaBay are aftermarket unknown quality.
4 weeks is like 33% of the whole warranty time. If it was half a week, yeah why not. But not a month after a 3 month warranty...
Huawei is nice to include that warranty, so they're not to blame there.
Yeah it's pretty poor on huawei's part, no form of goodwill gesture whatsoever, i will not purchase anything huwawei again.
Can't tag on this thread for some reason but to whoever said it's 33% of warranty gone, don't be so bloody ridiculous! Of course it's 33% it's only 3 month to start of with, what a stupid statement, it's 4 weeks out not 4 pissing months! Jesus, anyway it's on the scrap heap, waiting for my pixel 2 xl which will be here next week, peace ?
Im in South Africa and im entitled to 2 free screen repairs within 24 months warranty. first 3 months is for main board replacement. Pretty sweet deal this.
Similar to what Samsung offered on the S4 and S5

[Consumer Alert!] ASUS Service Center tries to not honor warrenty - defective screen

Hello all,
There are multiple reports of the screen on this phone failing. When customers file an RMA and send their phone to customer service to get it fixed under warranty, ASUS attempts to blame the customers even when their phones are in pristine condition.
________________
Update 5/22/2019
After weeks of emails and forum posts with ASUS, 3 out of 5 customers have been able to get ASUS to repair the screen at no cost. So if you're dealing with this issue, don't give up!
Proof ASUS used fake photos to avoid honoring their warranty:

What can be done about this? I went out and bought a cheap phone just to hold me over. But I spent a lot of money on my ROG phone and had it for only four months before the screen went bad. I am so angry about how I am being treated, I am loosing sleep.
Before this happened I had a positive impression of ASUS. I have purchased ASUS computer equipment. I was a loyal customer. And this is what ASUS has done with my loyalty . . .

I posted links to this thread on ASUS's support forum. It makes me mad that they are treating their customers this way. It is obvious that there is an issue with their screen and unfair that they are blaming the customers for it. I'm hoping that this thread helps; if it doesn't we'll look at what legal action can be taken.
I have a new idea. If ASUS doesn't honor their warranty then we could write to CNET, Engadget, and even XDA editors about this issue. Sometimes bad press is an incentive for them to do what is right.
Edit: If you haven't already, If you have an option to leave a review from where it was purchased, I would write a negative review. Also report to BBB.
If these don't work then we take legal action.
I'm a philosopher, and thus well-schooled in logic. I can say this: It's absolutely amazing that ASUS can use identical photographs as evidence to claim both that my phone has severe damage, and that it has only cosmetic damage--whichever argument it needs to try and get me to pay them more money. It has severe damage for the purpose of denying warranty coverage; it has only cosmetic damage for the purpose of denying a damage in transit claim. The gall of these people . . .
Please see the reviews on Amazon. Several customers report being victimized by the same tactic discussed here: ASUS claiming a screen defect is "CID" and holding the phone hostage for $400+.
This has to stop. Consumers are supposed to be protected from this kind of abusive and illegal practice.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review..._1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&pageNumber=1
One of the one-star reviewers states that ASUS informed him, EVEN BEFORE HE SENT HIS PHONE IN, that the screen was not covered under warranty. This is additional evidence that it is ASUS policy to prejudge ALL screen failures as CID.
This company is despicable and deserves to go out of business.

Asus Inner display broken without physical damage
Hi have brought the Asus ROG Phone on 14 Jan 2019. while i was playing PUBG , Suddenly my phone was blackout and i have checked that inner display cracked without physical damage. I couldn't see single scractch on the outer glass.
But when I was check with service centre and they are saying this will not be comes under warranty and they were also saying silly answer like inner display might be get damaged because of finger impression and placing the phone inside pant pocket.
RMA NUMBER: INUIK40199
I was shocked about the answers from technician. so ASUS company has manufacturing cheap, weak display for the permium phone.
my friend has advised me that don't go for ASUS ROG phone , it has cheap and week LED display but i didn't listen that.
Can you please help to escalate team.
Please see the below link as many of the buyers has been facing the inner display broken issues, now tell me that is ur Asus ROG PHONE has weak and poor quality display
samshak01:
As you have noted this is a common problem with ROG phone. So far ASUS has not acknowledged this problem and it is attempting to collect fees of approximately half the cost of the phone for repairs. Until such time as ASUS decides to fix this defect under warranty, each user is on his or her own to argue for warranty service.

They got me, too
I'll just post what I posted on Zentalk. But here is the link to my Zentalk post that has the ridiculous pictures added to it:
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/ww/thread-272455-1-1.html
What follows is what I posted in the thread minus photos:
This is happening to me right now. This is the second time my screen has done this. This first time ASUS fixed it no problem. This time ASUS sent two pictures back from their service department stating the screen was cracked from 'impact damage'. Note that the screen is not cracked, the glass is fine. The LCD UNDER the glass is somehow cracked.
When I sent the phone in the screen was completely dead with a very short crack on the right side of the LCD under the glass. I'm talking maybe a quarter inch. They sent a picture back with TWO cracks going all the way across the screen! That was not how I sent the phone in to them! Further, I babied that phone. I NEVER dropped it and never abused it. I was watching TV, looked at my phone, then put it in my pocket. About a half hour later I looked again and there was a spot the size of the pad of my pinky finger that had gone dark and rainbow colored around the edges of the dark spot. As the hour progressed the screen progressively died as I just sat and helplessly watched, not even touching it. It's the EXACT way it died the first time.
The picture of the 'impact damage' is a joke. I had to look extremely hard to see any irregularity in the picture, and I don't see how that would have caused the crack, or how it would have even happened IN MY POCKET. Further, I had the case on it from day one THAT I BOUGHT FROM ASUS. I have never taken it off. I followed all their directions for shipping, bought their shipping label, I did everything I was supposed to do and now somehow my phone is MORE damaged than last time I saw it, and they are trying to say I somehow damaged it via 'impact'?? No! I had my wife look at the picture and she seriously doubts that's even my phone! She doesn't think the crack is even in the same place! I never even thought about taking pictures of my own phone, who thinks about doing that? But my 'dispute' just ended in an e-mail stating physical damage isn't covered by warranty. The guy on the phone asked if I had any pictures of my phone from BEFORE it was damaged. My phone is my camera, how am I supposed to take a photo of my camera with my camera, and why would I do that to begin with?
There is no way this was done by physical damage!! And now they want me to dish out 400 dollars? I can't afford that! Anybody have any ideas? If I can't get it fixed under the warranty like it should be, especially since it would be IT'S THIRD SCREEN, then I'll just have to dish out the extra cash and buy a new Razer Phone 2. I don't see another option here. If I pay the 400, this will more than likely happen again and then I'll have to go through this whole mess all over again. And to think this whole time I was braggin up ASUS to everyone, showing off the phone. All my PC parts are ASUS. I guess if this doesn't get fixed, I'll have learned my lesson there, too.
I've yet to hear anything from ASUS and they still have my phone. Just to update you all. I'll update the other sites I've posted on as well.
Just heard back from Customer Loyalty and they won't fix it without the 400 dollars. This, they said, was after they lowered the cost of fixing it. So i told them if they are refusing to fix their faulty product to just send it back to me so I can use it as a paperweight, and I'll notify all the appropriate forums, websites, and reviews on Amazon, Newegg, XDA, Zentalk, and warn family and my entire department about using ASUS for anything. I'll be looking elsewhere for all my PC hardware now, also. Apparently my favorite company is now being run by people that have no care for product quality and customer loyalty. Sorry, everyone. I was hoping ASUS would come clean and fix their problem. Clearly I was wrong. I'll be sending everyone over to Razer from now on for gaming phones.

Just heard back from Customer Loyalty and they won't fix it without the 400 dollars. This, they said, was after they lowered the cost of fixing it.
