Satellite A205-S5812 - Complaint

Review by bnakano27 on 2010-04-15

My laptop kept shutting down within the first year so took to a service center and they said the bios needed to be updated. I've had five Dell laptops and a Fujitsu and have never had problems with their Bios. It started to have the same problem again within the following year so I called customer service. They said it was out of warranty and sounded like it was a common problem so told me I needed to update my bios again. They gave instructions on how I could do the update online, but while I was in the middle of the process, it shut down again and now does not boot up at all. I spoke to a case manager named Tyler and he was not helpful, only recited their disclaimer and that I should have bought an extended warranty. Showed no empathy at all. I'll never buy a Toshiba laptop again as they are unreliable.
