You might have read my thread about the demise of my SmartQ7 within days after I started playing with it. The power socket fell off which rendered the unit useless.

To make the short story even shorter, I decided to take the matter into my own hands, and attempted to fix it. Had my friend solder the socket, and it worked for about 2 hours and died.

Having had my share of bad experiences with shady overseas outfits, I assumed the worst about Eletroworld. But Alex with Eletroworld took the unit back, and had the factory fix it even though it was perfectly within the company's rights to declare the warranty void.

I got the unit back today, and it works beautifully. The power socket still makes me nervous though. The plug doesn't slip in so easily even though I try my best to be gentle.

Thanks to Eletroworld.
