In Malaysia I had a friend who wanted to replace the LCD panel on his HP
iPaq. This was well after warranty. Technician says they could not sell the
part to him. Then next he said "yes, we could sell it to you but we want
your damaged part in return." Huh? What gives?? After that they say, "yes
but no....we do the repair for you and so we cannot just sell and give you
the part and yes, we still want your damaged part in return."
I've never heard such stupid, moronic technical support services yet. This
one from HewlettPackard takes the cake.
Yes I know this has nothing to do with camera parts but the general idiocy
surrounding the gods of technical support people is pretty much the same.
You want to wonder how they get to serving customers...
