Some of us appreciate your efforts, but alas they are in vain. The guy is anti-via, anti-amd, anti-MS, anti-SB, and anti-ati. If you aren't running an intel with linux, an nvidia card and anything but a soundblaster there's no way possible way your PC can work right. Funny I'm using an AMD XP2100 with ATI card as we speak. My other box has a SB card in it, although it would be nice if I could download -drivers- from their web site. Next? -- Stacey |

And she tells me that "I fail to understand" that "most" other people are having problems. If you counted all of the posts in those "forums", that count would be about 1/100000 of the total number of boards sold. She just doesn't get the math thing, so she assumes that 15 people complaining about "problems" means that all 450,000 of those boards are having "problems". http://www.usbnews.net/news/via_usb_...driver_110.htm http://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/ http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1103 Putting your head in the sand and personal attacks doesn't change the facts.

But if I am not mistaken the original poster said that it was *not* DOA. It was a matter of a feature not working as advertised and the lousy lite-on customer service simply ignored his inquiries (after misleading him to ship the item for a "repair"). Perhaps he should have returned it to the retailer anyway? But then what reason could he use? "Not as advertised"? Or doesn't work correctly. If features it claims to have don't work, it's broken. -- Stacey |

??? These are documented problems with their products, doesn't that sink
in? Who's talking about numbers of people complaining on a newsgroup vs boards sold? I'm talking about known problems with their products. One more time, slowly. If I can put together over 100 (actually, closer to 200) computers with VIA chipsets and not have any problems, I couldn't care *less* how many people complain about them in forums. I have one web server with dual PIII 1.13GHz Tualitins on a Tyan Tiger 200T board that's been running for almost six months without a reboot, problem, or even a hiccup. And again, you don't seem to take into account how many of these people PROBABLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING, or have something set incorrectly, or didn't even BOTHER to read a manual. The fact they're complaining does not make them right and the manufacturer automatically wrong. My experience is that the OPPOSITE is true. You can post 187 different links, and that will not change the fact that VIA chipsets have NEVER given me any problems, all the way back to my first non-Intel machine, an Epox MVP3-GM and a K62-400. So please step away from the forums and find a *life* somewhere. shaking my head at your ceaseless gullibility Hasta so longa. |

"Alan Hancock" wrote in message . com... "Sly" wrote in message ... . I intend to stop purchasing Lite-On products because of their "customer service". And I bet Lite-On couldnt have asked for a better outcome, buy a decent dvd in the first place!! I am not so sure about this. I was looking to buy a DVD player and was considering a liteon, but this posting convinced me to stay away from it. I absolutely consider service as part of product quality. Especially when it costs over $100. Not sure whats the case in the US, but when you purchase something in the UK, your "contract" is with the retailer you bought the product off, NOT the manufacturer.Theres no reason at all that you should have to talk to the manufacturer, The retailers contract is with the manufacturer. I couldnt give a crap what the manufacturers do or say, if its broke, i take it straight back to where i bought it. That is completely unfair to the retailer since they had NO hand in the manufacture and as such no hand in the issues with the device. In the USA the retailer is just the middleman who sells the item to the consumer. No wonder you britts pay out your arses for hardware. If a product you bought after March last year develops a fault within the first 6 months, then it is automatically assumed that this fault was there when it was purchased and its upto the retailer to prove it wasnt!! you have the right to request a new product or a refund from the RETAILER. All the above is as i said for the UK, |

In the USA the retailer is just the middleman who sells the item to the consumer. Over here (and in the UK) they're the middleman too. But the way it works is, you just go back up the chain: Faulty goods - bring it back to the store. If it's in stock you get it replaced. The store contacts his supplier, and he gets it replaced there (or refunded). Etc. As a consumer, I dont want to bother with some company on the other side of the country (if in the country at all). If I bought my stuff at Joe's down the corner, that's where I wanna go if there's a problem. |
