1. When & why a product warranty may be invalid

What is the warranty period? How often have you asked this question while buying a product? The dealer, of course, delivers the usual spiel on the number of months or years that you will be guaranteed prompt and perfect service by the company. What he does not mention, and you do not bother to read, is the fine print on the warranty paper. These are the strings that could sour the perfect deal you believe you have just clinched.If you are lucky, the product will function smoothly during its entire lifetime, but if it breaks down within the warranty period, do not assume you can get it repaired or replace it unconditionally. Though companies agree to replace the parts in the product, the cleverly worded warranty document states that doing so will be at the discretion of the company.Apart from this, there are conditions that can result in the warranty being void. One of these is that the warranty card should have the signature and stamp of the dealer/seller along with the date of purchase. You must also check that the serial number is correctly entered in the card. Be careful if you are buying a pre-owned product as most companies state that the warranty is applicable only to the first buyer.So, if you plan to gift a gadget to someone, make sure that the bill is in his name, so that he can make use of the warranty when needed. While buying products from international markets and duty-free shopping zones, check that the warranty is valid in India too. "There are very few brands that offer a global guarantee. So, you may buy a product abroad because it is 20% cheaper, but may lose out on the warranty," says Purnendu Kumar, vice-president, retail and consumer goods at Technopak.Next, you should go through the usage instructions and repair guidelines carefully. If you do not adhere to these, it can lead to the warranty being cancelled. For instance, Godrej Locks says that the warranty is valid only if a professional from the company has installed the lock. Acer India states that the warranty may be claimed only by those customers who have registered their purchase with the company (either online or through their Website) within 15 days of receiving the product.Some products need to be serviced regularly, such as water purifiers and cars. Their warranty will be valid only if you get this done through the authorised service agent/centre. "If a part is not replaced according to the design specifications, it can cause further damage to the unit, which will not be covered by the company. So, further warranty after repair by unauthorised agents is void," says SK Jain, VP, sales & services, Onida. To prove that you have always serviced the product at the authorised centre, you should maintain records of past service as well as bills.The physical appearance of the product can also influence the validity of the warranty. "If there is physical damage to a part of the product, it can still be taken as a reason to reject warranty even if it not relevant to why it is not working," says Harshit Patel, director, TechShop.in. So you may file a complaint that your LCD monitor is unable to access plug-and-play devices, but if the screen has a crack, the warranty could be dismissed.Also, not all parts are covered under warranty. "In the case of a washing machine, the warranty for the circuit is only for a year, while it is longer for the motor. Most consumers believe that the motor is more essential even though the circuit costs are high at Rs 4,000-5,000," says Kumar.Even when the company is willing to repair or change the parts that are covered, you may have to pay for labour charges. "During the warranty period, only the parts replaced or repaired are free of cost, but service charges are always payable," states the Videocon service manual listing the warranty conditions.In case you are eligible to get the product repaired/replaced during the warranty period and the company is arbitrarily refusing to do so, you can approach the consumer courts. However, even to challenge a company's denial, you need to know the conditions and maintain the relevant bills and papers. "Proper paperwork and all details regarding the product transaction, service and operation are required," says Patel.Companies have started offering extended warranties, which can be taken separately if you want to cover the product for a longer period. "Extended warranties protect the consumer from high expenses in case an expensive part needs to be replaced. He is insured against all kinds of failure at a very nominal cost," says Jain.However, experts suggest caution while opting for extended warranties as the conditions for warranty and extended warranty differ. The list of parts covered is further reduced in the latter. "For instance, in a fan there is a motor, ball bearing and capacitor. No company will give a warranty of more than a year for the capacitor, but it will be willing to provide an extended warranty for the ball bearing. However, the induction coil is the most important part and is very costly. There may or may not be an extended warranty for the coil," says Kumar.Also, extended warranties may turn out to be futile expenses. "The companies that provide these are banking on the fact that the product is good in quality and will survive the extended warranty period provided the user has kept the product in pristine condition," says Patel. The company may also account for the fact that consumers may not maintain the invoices or warranty cards, which will automatically eliminate any warranty claims.However, some experts suggest that as the cost is hardly 1% of the price of the product, it may be better to opt for the extended warranty for expensive items, which you plan to retain for a significant period of time.

2. Why is shutter speed making my photos BLACK?!?

Put the camera controls on default, like they just came out of the box. Put the main control on full auto, if it is not already there. Take a shot, preferably outdoors in full sunlight. If you get a black picture, then throw away the camera and get a new one. And I am quite serious about that. If YOU changed the settings without knowing what you are doing, that can cause this sort of problem. By setting the camera back to default in full auto mode, that takes your settings out of the mix. If it still does not work right, then it is broken. There is nothing you can do to fix it, other than send it back to Fuji. If it is still under warranty, fine. If not, it is not worth the cost of getting it repaired.

From what you describe you have a serious problem in your wiring harness or possibly with the on board computer. Take it back to the jeep dealership where you bought it for repairs to be done under warranty. I would demand a loaner vehicle while the repairs are being done. You spent alot of money on this defective vehicle and Jeep should stand behind its product. If the dealer is anything less than compliant with your demand for a satisfactory cost free warranty repair AND the use of a loaner vehicle you should seek legal advice
