Stay away from Maxlink (Endah Parade)

[LemonRuski]

in Sri Petaling.
This is a shop that sells electronic games and devices such as PS2, XBox..

This place is a total con, and it will be best if you listen to my advice.

I took my PS2 for repair, after purchasing it from them for about 3 months.
The PS2 could not detect PS2 disc, but could play audio cds.

They promised that they would give me an answer within 4 days. Instead they took 1 month and still did not call me.

I called them several times, and they said that an a chip on the board was faulty. To repair, they wanted me to pay 300.

I said no thanks and asked them to return my PS2.
When i got it back, the PS2 could not even start and now, it can't even play audio cds.

I suspect they replaced the good parts with faulty ones....

If you don't want this to happen to you, then stay away from this place...
Buy things somewhere else...also better!!

[LemonRuski]

LemonRuski, if i were i'll make sure i'll make a mess & big noise from their shop. Makehai, bought a PS2 from their fucking shop & then goes faulty...... send back for repair but need to pay RM300 for it? They must be kidding dude! Somemore took so bloody long time...... then when returned back the PS2, it turned out lagi teruk & worst than before!

How can us as end users tolerate this kinda fucking conman-ship? For me, i'll even threaten them that i'll make sure he wont be doing anymore biz there & burn the fucking shop down. If they dare me, then i wish them good luck....... i'm a very hot-tempered kinda guy! Been bulied until beh tahan so now, it's fighting back time! Muahahahahaha.......... :angry_smile:

i bought my set there as well
luckily the thing has never gone wrong till now
almost 4years already
i dont goto that shop anymore though
cuz had they had a record giving me replica controller instead of the original one
the time i buy i requested for TWO original sony controller(which they agreed, and i agreed to pay extra as well), but instead they gave me two replica ones
next day i went back to the shop and make noise, then only they change it back for me

I agree, we should stand up for our rights and you'll be doing everyone a favour by ensuring they don't cheat anyone else.

 

[Tohsan]

make a complain to consumer association(CAP), file a police report for deceat, then make a claim in this special court which is for things below 10k,you can seek your redress there.

Btw 3 months is consider under warranty, and warranty in legal terms mean any detect which render it unuseable should be replace the same thing or repair it to original condition.

Frankly speaking,THEY CON U! GO MAKE REPORT DON'T WAIT.:regular_smile:
Remember to keep all the documents for further action as a proof of purchase.

how to see replica or ori??

 

[alien]

but since theese kinda products..
involves counterfeits.. and tat ps2 itself is brought over from overseas..
will it hav any trouble trying to go to the authorities over tis?

invi ghost:
im no expert but i can tell u the fake ones neva last long.. the prints on em fades and i neva had one tat last longer than 2 months, and im no hardcore gamer mind u..
one of the owner in a shop in sgwang. told me the fake one will not endure hardcore gaming..
droppin on the floor.. accidently pullin it out from the socket.. or simply too long gaming.. will spoil it..

 

[LemonRuski]

The ppl in this shop all look like samseng..orang jahat...
make noise with them also no point...cos cops come..also tak guna one..

This shop is really crap...
Don't buy from them !!

 

[munky]

the feeling of fake controller is different than the original wan. The buttons sometimes too hard and like terkeluar a bit from it.
My controller still feels like new altho it's been around 5 years already. No problem at all

This reminds me of a shop at One Utama. I remembered I bought 3 games (gundam was one of them) there n went back home to test all the games i bought with my cousin.

I test it all 3 was spolied, so next day went to change. The person muka bengang speak like marah la saying "Ur PS2 what year ???" , I said "year 2003 n works fine n even play GT4 (that time a lot of ZTH guys got problems playin GT4)". He said "Ur PS2 is old, n needs repair here bcoz we have the chip for ur PS2. Ini game Gundam n Star Ocean needs to use our chip". So i asked "how much to repair n upgrade ?". He said "RM400," . I said "Ok nevermind, anyway I want to change these 3 games to this ones," . He looked to me withan angry look n change the game.

After that day, I didnt want to go to that shop even lalu or look. Hate it.

So one day i tried my luck, i bought the gundam game from another shop at One Utama. I want to try is it true that my console needs upgrade. Played the gundam game n it worked. Lagi la I marah :angry_smile: anyway I was a regular at that shop n he speak to me like that just bcoz i want to change game. Weeks later my PS2 was spoiled (lence rosak) n thats the time I was thinkin heavily. "Where to service my PS2 ??? One Utama ?? RM400?? mane nak cari ??" . No choice I said "Well its going to be far for my auntie, I will fix my poor console at Imbi where I bought it, after fix I will pay late a little sbb mahal," . I bought my console at IMBI the console worked for years tanpa problem. I upgrade once bcoz my PS2 got a special chip that made some pirated game didnt work. That was the only time je i upgrade my PS2. I hardly go to IMBI after my father past away. So no choice i buy at One Utama. Lagipun i bought the game at OU bcoz kalau rosak can change, well i do have some rosak games from IMBI n manage to change even its far from my home.

Anyway brought to IMBI my console, the Tauke surprise to see me after a long time. So check the problem, the Tauke said "Wah teruk la ur PS2 ? nevermind wwe will solve the problem," So I service there. 2 days later a call from the Tauke "PS2 u already fix and upgrade n the price is RM50," . I was shocked "RM50 ??" anyway went to the shop n thanx the tauke. I asked the Tauke a queston "Itu game i played on this console Star Ocean n Gundam why ....... this n that the console got problem ke ??" the tauke said "No not console its the game bcoz its pirated not original kalau original it will be smooth,". See i was nearly kena tipu from One Utama. What happen if i fix there ?? .

Sorry for u man, kena tipu is really a pain on the A5$. I understand u.

Oh controller story simple, If u dare open the controller n see the inside if got mess up wires with a green tick chip (the one in kemahiran hidup) then its fake. If the chip is paper like that is original. Anyway colour also different. To me the toughest PS2 controller is the PSone controller i have. That one my niece n nephew throw still can work.

 

[alantan]

i stayed away from that shop for a very long time already
