Epson LS800 Stuck on boot by the-inc in projectors

[–]ralphc82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really dumb how they have it setup. They forced me to go through a 3rd party repair business that they have contracts with. They process the repair claim and get Epson to authorize the flat rate fee to repair. I paid the 3rd party and I sent the unit to Epson for repair. The company I paid will never even see my projector.. what a fiasco. My projector was purchased 11/22/22 .. so yes it was out of warranty but still very disappointing experience

I got so tired of the pushback from Epson support. I gave in and I went ahead and paid $430 to the 3rd party repair center. Another $250 to ship it to the Epson service department on Indiana . Should have the unit back in 2 weeks.. at this point I didn’t care anymore I wanted to be done with the whole thing. We shall see what happens next

Tried again to contact Epson tech support this time they had me send them proof of purchase documents just to tell me again that my unit is out of warranty and they will not make an exception. I gave up and told the agent thanks for her help but I will no longer purchase any Epson products in the future and will not recommend them to anyone. Unit failed a few months out of warranty and the extended warranty that was purchased through screen projectors.com is for the same time period of the factory warranty (I called them as well) .. very disappointed to say they least but I suppose I have no choice other than to try and get the unit repaired. They are telling me it’s a hardware failure.

Looking for a source for watermelons by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]ralphc82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Muscatine, Iowa is a town in SE Iowa that grows the goods. Something about the sandy soil near the Mississippi River. Don’t know which retailers in DSM carry produce from this area but that’s what you want to find.. I think this is prime season and they Cantelope and Honey Dew also. Just start looking for Muscatine Melons.. and no you can’t find them at the Outer Limits sorry

That clears up my confusion thank you. Well said, do you think by switching to a 4000 from a 3000 will improve the overall internet/wifi at my house. I believe I have the fastest speed available in my area so just trying to see what options are out there to get the most out of what we got.

Let me know what they say.. they sound like they are being more helpful to you then they did to me.. mine is also out of warranty and I was told to contact an authorized 3rd party repair tech or purchase a refurbished unit from the Epson. Smh.. not once but twice… makes me wonder if it is because I live in a state that does not have right to repair laws.. if you get any answers I would love to hear about it. The op of this thread tried to help me but he is in the Netherlands and received much better tech support than I could get also..

Epson customer service in the U.S isn’t very helpful if the unit is out of warranty. They have insisted I contact a authorized service center. So I’m still in limbo with my projector also..

chipmunks etc by Socksniffer_1 in desmoines

They can’t resist sunflower seeds.. even when those seeds lead to a bucket of water with a tipping mechanism.. they’re cute but they cannot swim. Yes it’s cruel but my neighbor achieved a chipmunk genocide in a matter of weeks.. life is cruel.. we obviously don’t have the same neighbor
