I have had very good warranty repairs & spares that I have needed more often than I should have done. But then again and £200 per box I expect some failures, most notably very fragile power supplies (5% failure rate after 1 year). Peter has been excellent and has always provided the highest level of support. So I cannot grumble.
PSU's are unbelievable removed 5 yesterday that turned themselves off after being on for less than a minute.Quote:

Just enquired about a repair under warranty. Machine still has warranty on it however it was purchased from SCL Online which is actually a trading name of Xpro. As such, Edutec Ltd who now own SCL Online don't honour the warranty that was originally purchased from SCL Online, the trading name of Xpro.
So essentially to me it seems all it seems Edutec Ltd are doing is fishing in the customers who still think that SCL Online is SCL Online. Actually, they're not, they're just using the company name.
Confusing. Does this seem right?
We have SCL boxes but Edutec are honouring our warranties. In fact we just got a machine back from them yesterday. All we do is phone the number on the sheet that has the warranty details and then ask for tech support. They've been pretty good with us (although the machines themselves have been a bit cheap and nasty in some cases).
We have an ongoing issue with a batch of SCL machines. I have recently had email support and I get the impression they'll honour the warranty if it came to that (separately, they sent out a replacement front fascia about a year ago under warranty).
Would be the SFF (not the USFF) boxes with the dodgy power button that keeps breaking off, would it?Quote:

We've been told that our SCL Five year warranties are no longer valid.
Just out of interest was your invoice for these machines from Xpro? Can you also confirm what number you are using?Quote:
