Request For Buyback Detail Information: Toshiba Qosmio G15-AV501
rating: 1
I owned a Toshiba Qosmio G15-AV501 since 01.15.2005 and without having an IT professional on my staff [with an Elect. Engineering degree, programming knowledge, and possession 30-plus years of electronics repair experience under his belt] to perform constant repair of it starting on the sixth month of ownership through the end of the two years I owned it under warranty, it would have been unusable to me. Being a lawyer and upon deeper reflection of my experience with it and belief that I could not have been the only one with such a glitchy machine (especially in the light of it being a 20-plus pound paperweight at present due to being fatally inoperable since February of 2007), along with Toshiba "volunteering" to extend the warranty for a second year (and currently proffering interactive tech support for Qosmio owners previously unobtainable during 2005 to present), I began to do some research. Much like the posts herein, I found alot of customers having dissatisfaction with the unit, as well as there being a few mentions of there existing either a quiet recall or buyback by Toshiba albeit through the possession of owners with extended warranties with retailers that sold the unit and extended warranties, I make the following request:
I would kindly appreciate any and all information that anyone possesses concerning how their Qosmio G15-AV501 was either repurchased, traded-out, or replaced by Toshiba (or by any other source) so that I can further investigate any potential resource for recourse with Toshiba that is available concerning it selling what has become my $2,750.00 "Qosmio Paperweight" before resorting to the alternative potential of initiating litgation against Toshiba over it.
Do note that I am more than happy to share the cause of my dissatisfaction upon mere request to do so (or confidentially exchange information in kind for information/assistance requested). In close, I express my appreciation in advance for any and all anticipated cooperation and assistance in this regard.

Has been recalled
rating: 1
We bought this computer in 2005 and have had nothing but problems with it one after the other. We recently took it in to Best Buy (thank God we bought the extended warranty) because the screen was malfunctioning. I got a call today that this laptop has been recalled. That's funny, when I was on the phone with Toshiba support a few weeks ago they didn't mention the recall.

The worst!
rating: 1
I have had all the same issues that everyone else has had with this laptop. From motherboard replacement to cooling issues to keyboard problems. When I bought the computer, I figured that because of the high cost ($2999) that it had to be a good laptop. It is currently at Toshiba right now being worked on for the 8th time. Their customer support as mentioned is terrible and unknowledgeable. I was back and forth between a Dell and a Toshiba but didn't feel like ordering the Dell online and waiting for it to be shipped to me. Please do yourself a favor and avoid the time and hassle of having to deal with this computer and buy another brand. I will never buy anything Toshiba again!!

DO NOT PURCHASE!
rating: 1
I really do not rate this item at all!
I purchased this system in December 2004 and every six months a new problem surfaces. In June 2005 it was returned to a authorized repair centre but returned with diminished performance. In December 2005, vertical pinstripes and eventually blackholes appeared on the screen. In June 2006 the keyboard malfunctioned. In November 2006 it went through Toshiba's "Systemboard Enhancement Program" and was returned early December. Late December, the screen problems resurfaced and today, January 6th there is a vertical black hole about 2 1/2 inches on the screen and the screen's resolution is fuzzy. Toshiba had extended the warranty on my system for one year after purchase. Originally, I thought that this was unique to my situation but I have subsequently learnt that other owners are having serious problems with this model. This, along with the systemboard Enhancement Progam, I think is an under-the-radar product recall. As recently as today, I searched for this product on Toshiba's website and it is no longer for Sale!
