Urgent Advice Required : Nokia Lumia 710 Replacement at Nokia Care

I had this unique problem of out going audio (voice) not being clear to recipient listeners from my microphone. Since I lost warranty in 2 months due to screen damage I got it repaired by paying cash at Nokia Care.

But I still found the problem persisting. I gave it to same Nokia Care 3 times(they gave one month warranty on repair), but still problem wasn't solved. Now, I had to blast them on my 4th visit and the manager told that he would get my handset replaced with same model tommorow (only the handset, not the battery).

What I want to know is how legal this is. Is it done by Nokia Care officially or is he just doing it by giving me a refurbished/black/china market handset to get rid of me. Im confused since he sounded little fishy when he mentioned this. But in the end, it is Nokia Care. Please adice. I just have a day to decide what to do.

Thanks.

There is a 50-50 chance like you might get a new phone with a new IMEI number or a re-furbished. There's no way you will get a China or black market cell.

Most of the re-furbished devices will have a re-furbished tag on the handset box. It also contain the information like, where it was re-furbished. So keep an eye on it.

On top, you might get warranty if its a new handset. Check with Nokia Care.

As I suspect, there won't be any box or such. He will just take out my battery/sim and put it in new one and give it to me. So what if there is no warranty/box. I mean what should I do in that case?

Hmm. Nothing can be done here.

But ask them this question, if the screen was damage & later it got replaced by paying, then when & why you have lost the warranty ??

How is your damage related to warranty here ?? Also ask, about the new handset, whether it is covered under warranty or not ??

S

nokia card people are making fool of you..u do not loose waranty if something gets broken and you get it repaired at nokia care itself.. Your warranty would have finished had you got it repaired outside nokia care.. I had a N8.. I broke its screen when it was 2 months old..i got it replaced at nokia care for a hefty amount and my phone warranty carried in a usual way.. So something is fishy out there..

But I spoke to nokia customer care (30303838), they mentioned the same thing that warranty is void once there is a physical damage.

About new handset, will ask for warranty/guarantee details. If still sounds fishy, would avoid taking it.

Can you post, in which nokia care, your phone is getting serviced atm ??

They have some good service engineers out there. Last Yr December month, my e7-00 charger was kaput & they just replaced it within few minutes without asking any further questions.

Wait & let them get you your device back. Verify the warranty details & then take necessary actions.

Hey Guys,

I have got my handset replaced from them. I tested it's every aspect to the best I could at that time. He said my existing warranty would be transfered to the new IMEI (ignoring the previous physical damage case). The only documentation I got is an update from them to my existing purchase receipt mentioning the new IMEI number and sealed by them. So far this cell works fine (its been less than a day now). Hope everything goes smooth now onwards.

Enjoy~!

Enjoy your new phone then & time to close this thread.

Congrats that your old phone got replaced by a new one and now you also get warranty with it

nice to know that your mobile retains the leftover warranty

closing thread as problem is solved.
