admin — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 10:59:15 +0000

It’s been a brilliant performance by India so far at the Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010. The number of medals won by India is so far the largest by India. During 2002 Common Wealth games India had won 69 Medals with 30 Golds. This time India has surpassed all its previous records and the number of Golds won now stands at 32 and the games is yet to be over. This is for the first time India is standing second in the overall list. It’s a great feeling. Can we expect some miracle in the India sporting scenario with this? Can we expect more results in Olympics? Time will let us know, but the world beware, India is rocking!

HSBC Credit Card Collection Department Story

admin — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:57:55 +0000

I am writing this in such anger that i hope to have some changes made in the current system of Phone Calls. I made my minimum payment for the HSBC credit card on 29th which happened to be my due Date through online mode and it takes two days to clear it off as a result my card was blocked and then started the chain of Phone calls.

Today being the Ayodhya Verdict day, they tried to reach me on my phone and i had gone out for grocery shopping before everything shuts down, and i had forgotten my phone at home. The issue is that in half an hour gap i saw 10 missed calls from HSBC number and three from dad and a lot from my friends. I got back and was wondering what happened and considering the sensitivity of the day, i was worried. I called dad and he was on call waiting and i called a friend and he told your dad had called. I reached my dad again and he said they where worried as some Hindi guys were calling continuously in my number and they were not able to understand what they were telling and they got scared considering the sensitity of the day and they ended up calling all my friends and sending out a search operation for me. My dad seem to have got more than 15 calls from HSBC collection department. I have been with HSBC for around 3 years and this was such a Bad thing that happened.

I can understand that if I am not answering the call for 1 day, they can call to the secondary number and enquire, rather in Half an Hour short duration they reach all the available numbers associated with the card and make up big fuzz. They now need to bring in change!!! I hope something can happen if i express my anger here in the blog. I am not hoping to stop the calls, rather the no of calls and may be recruitment of English speaking customer care professionals.

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:45:59 +0000

Recovering the password for your BSNL dataone broadband connection is fairly simple if you have choosed the PPPoE method of connection and your password is already stored in the modem or router.

I am using a Belkin G series wireless router. I’ll explain the method to recover the password for belkin g wirless router and the same method can be applied to any modems.

1) Connect to your modem, for belkin from internet explorer or firefox goto 192.168.2.1

2) You should be knowing the modem password, otherwise you cannot proceed. Login to your modem

3) Choose connectivity -> PPPoE

4) You will see the login information. Right click and view frame source.

5) CTRL+ F and search for “ISP_Password_Conf”. Near to password fields try n locate value=”your password”

Eg: bsnl password“>

For rest of the modems the modem url will be 192.168.1.1 and the default username/password can be admin/admin

Problems with Dell Laptop – Customer care experience Bangalore

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:51:16 +0000

Its been quite long since ive been off from this blog and i never blogged on this after i got my dell inspiron 1545.

Background

I got my Dell inspiron 1545 on May last before i moved back to bangalore to start my MBA life.I was pretty proud to have a dell (coz of the many reviews). I could find a lot of people in my MBA class having dell inspirons and studio.

The Present

i first saw the problem with a friends laptop. Where everything was fine till the login and after the login it get’s stuck at the welcome screen. Three weeks back i got up in the morning to find a internal hard disk error on the screen. I switched off and on again it seemed normal and the same thing happened as it got stuck in the welcome screen. I called my friend and asked for a solution and he said he went to a outside service center and reinstalled windows vista. I tried to install the same by putting my Dell Windows Vista re-installation cd, but it gave me a hard disk error. I dint want to lose the data. I called up Dell customer care, and they confirmed its a hard disk problem and they offered to replace my hard disk. I asked them would they help me with the data backup and they said sorry and i’ll have to do that myself. I searched google for data recovery in bangalore and came across web nirnaya. The place is in Jayanagar and at the expense of Rs 1400 (650 for re-installation + Rs 750 for data backup) i could get my system to work again.

The dell guys called me 4 days after and since i was through with my issue i said to close the call. Two weeks after this i got the same error. Bad lazy me still did not do a backup of the data and was stuck again with dilema. I called the Dell customer care service (bangalore local number) and again explained everything. They identified the error and also asked my Optical drive is working fine. I said im also having problems with it. They offered to replace both as both came under warrenty.

This time the customer service was quick and i got a call that day itself after 2 hours and confirmed that the Dell service executive will come the very next day. The next day the service guy was right on time, he was very friendly. I got my hard disk and optical drive replaced and the issue was resolved in an hours time with re-installation of Windows Vista.

In short Problem i have with my laptop and resolutions

Hard Disk problem – resolved free of cost
Optical drive – making noise and cd scratch – problem resolved with replacement free of cost.
Missing “ALT Key” – un-resolved as i would have to replace my keyboard fully and it does come only under full warranty which is about 7k. The cost of keyboard is around Rs 2.3K+
Broken side panel near to the mike. – un resolved.
The side panels are so think and weak and any pressure applied on them, it would break. This is one common problem with dell inspirons and the side panel replacement comes at a cost of over Rs 1200.

Dell in short has a great customer service, but almost a major chunk of the people i know with inspirons are having my similar problems with additional battery and motherboard problems also. I really would love to see dell offering databack up also, as its a pain when ur dell crashes without any warning and the huge amounts companies charge to get back ur data ( i got my data retrieved for the second time from web nirnaya for Rs 400 which is cheap).
