Toshiba Thrive screen replacement!!! OMG - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

marca · 2012-06-28, 10:19 PM

I sent my Toshiba Thrive at the the Toshiba Depot to replace my glass (still working but cracked) a few weeks ago.

A service guy has leave a message today telling me that the cost for doing that repair is 331$

i find that very expensive for a glass replacement. I saw on a US forum that in the U.S. it cost like 151 $ sound more reasonable a this price to me.

Got any idea what i can do with that ? I have to call them back to authorize the work. Anyone has this issue with Toshiba ? Any chance that i can make a deal with them ?

I'm seriously thinking that i'm going to tell them to send it back to me and get the google nexus 7 when it's gonna be available :S

Any advice will be appreciated

Thanks

You are getting absolutely hosed. I would refuse the work on principle.

Just my opinion.

$331 seems like it could buy you a new tablet.

Finally they fixed it for 171 $

I told them to forget that at this price (331$) and i will buy the google nexus7 instead of fixing it and i was about to buy a new laptop computer soon and Toshiba will be the last nameon my list.

Then they make me this deal
