Funai OEM Part/s Nightmare
Hi,
It has been a long time since I had to order an OEM part for a Funai/Symphonic TV. Normally, a generic replacement part is fine. In my shop is a Symphonic TV WF2702 (mfg 2002) with a bad FBT ("flyback" transformer). I have to get the original OEM part, and would you believe, I was told by Funai customer service, "there is no telephone number to Funai's parts department"!!!!!!!! The same person told me to send an email, which I did, but I never got an answer. Another method, I was told, is to send a fax. I can send a fax, but I can't receive a fax in order to get the FBT price and part number. Note: I never had this problem with any of the other brands I service. A common question I get from all my customers, "what brand do you recommend". I never recommend a brand, but I do tell them what brands to avoid, and I explain why. Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active key logger (spyware) in your PC. |

I had to e-mail one 3 times for a reply - the reply very vague.. The other, I e-mailed 2 x with no reply, then called - got put into voice mail and told them to call me back or e-mail me. I received neither. These sets are quite simply becoming throw away. Even if you could repair them with skills, you sure in hell can't with out the parts - if they don't want to supply them or an answer regarding them. Service shops are ok, it's the JUNK we're being expected to repair that isn't and the customer support we have to deal with. In another few years, there won't be a need for service shops as we know them. NS |
