I purchased the Ematic AT103C converter DVR from ******* on October 31, 2022. On June 1, 2023 it stopped working. We tried moving it to a different outlet to see if that was the problem and it was not. We tried checking all the connections and pressing the power button for 10 second and nothing worked. The power light is not even working on the unit. Then we tried to change the source from where we had the pvr connected to the ** and our ** started freaking out where we had tried turning off our ** and back on, only to find it still happening. We unplugged the unit from the hdmi cable connecting it to the ** and the ** started working again. We contacted them by email to no responses and even tried to call them but the phone rings once then goes dead.Business response

I purchased 10 car stereos ********* stereos from a ********* ********** dealer. Six of them did not work right out of the box. Four did. I read warranty terms on the website to confirm. The authorized dealer refused to cover the warranty because they have their own policies which do not make allowance for the manufacturer warranty. The dealer instructed me to contact Blaupunkt directly at ******************* A lady named **** replied. They have refused to cover the warranty on their own products and directed me back to the dealer which will not cover the warranty. The manufacturer is legally ********* to resolve the issue but they have repeatedly refused. This is my last attempt to address the issue before taking the case higher. An honorable corporation will do the right thing.Business response

I am filing a complaint against this company for a multitude of reasons. I have read some of the other complaints and my falls in line with many of them. So, the nature of the dispute is my mother bought my daughter a**************** ********* Tablet with ******* *** ******** + ******** Folio Case and ********** on October **** **** and delivered November 4th 2021 for Christmas. It cost approx. $70.My daughter was able to use it twice before it started to act up. We were able to charge it once maybe twice before it would not charge or turn back on. What I mean by act up was it over heated once and turned off on its own. It was not in its case at the time because it would not charge when put in its case. Trying to get in-touch with the company is an absolute joke. They do not respond to support emails or calls. I was able to reach some one who told me it was in warranty, and I would receive an email for the return instructions, and I was told I'd have to pay to return shipping. I never received an email and I called back the next weeks and just called until someone picked up and they sounded like they were in a barn with chickens and dogs. I made them send me the email. I was reminded that had to pay to ship to them the tablet as well as for them to ship it back. I felt bad my mother felt horrible and my daughter was heartbroken. I gave in and paid to ship it to them, and the $15 money order they required be sent with the product so they can ship it back in 6 to 8 weeks. . I know they received it because when I sent it, I requested a signature. I have proof of everything. The RMA number is XXXXXX .I spent $12.55 shipping it to them and the tracking number was XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. I sent it 2/11/22 and they received it 2/15/22.I do not feel this has been resolved because I have not received the tablet back nor will they respond to me at all.. They stated it would be repaired or replaced and it has not happened.Initial Complaint

I bought a 10" Ematic portable DVD player on November 29, 2021 for a Christmas present and got the 2 year extended warranty for the retail store. The player lasted for 5 months and then the video is all garbled. You can not see and type of video but hear the sounds from dvd. I contacted the extended warranty company but they tell me I have to contact Ematic because it's under warranty with them. I have been trying to get ahold of anyone from Ematic but the number I have goes straight to voicemail, which no one has ever called me back. I have tried emailing them 4 times but no one ever emailed back. I only paid 63 bucks for the DVD player, but it's 63 bucks that I am out. I have already bought a replacement for the grand daughter with another manufacturer so I would love to get my money back and I'll send this non working DVD player back to Ematic.Initial Complaint

I purchased a tablet through amazon from a company called ******* I was unable to use the tablet because it was locked out by a company called Go **** management. When I called Go **** the guy was surprised to find out I purchased it because he said it was a free tablet that they furnish to low income families as a lifeline. I dont think amazon had any knowledge of this but I think this is clearly some kind of fraud. Im not sure which of the two companies is responsible. When I complained to Amazon they sent me another tablet. Same kind of tablet and I am fine with it. The replacement worked fine. But what are they up to? Now if I dont return the original tablet within 30 days i will be ******* again for this **** free tablet. I live in the country and dont drive and have no printer to print off their return label.Initial Complaint
