Notice: This Article's Relevance Is Under Review

This article has been flagged for questionable relevance. Its connection to the systemic consumer protection issues outlined in the Mission statement and Moderator Guidelines isn't clear. Articles that focus on isolated incidents, personal disputes, or local matters may not meet the inclusion criteria for the Consumer Action Taskforce Wiki.

Why This Article Is In Question

Articles in this wiki have to meet the following criteria:

  • Systemic Nature: Demonstrate a broader pattern of systemic abuse, negligence, or policies that align with modern consumer exploitation (e.g., ownership revocation, barriers to repair, privacy violations, changing the terms of the sale after the sale).
  • Relevance: Relate to consumer protection issues that extend beyond individual grievances or localized problems.
  • Evidence: Provide verifiable evidence or credible sources to support the author's claims and demonstrate systemic impact.

Examples of articles that do not meet these criteria:

  • A single negative customer experience; with no evidence of systemic issues or company policies enabling such behavior.
  • Localized disputes, such as a bad experience with a contractor or small business, better suited for platforms like Yelp or local consumer protection agencies.
  • Complaints that focus on personal dissatisfaction (e.g., "I waited too long for a response") without tying the issue to broader consumer exploitation themes.
How You Can Improve This Article

To justify the relevance of this article:

  • Provide evidence demonstrating how the issue reflects broader consumer exploitation (e.g., systemic patterns, recurring incidents, or related company policies).
  • Link the problem to modern forms of consumer protection concerns, such as privacy violations, barriers to repair, or ownership rights.
  • Add credible sources or documentation that substantiate claims and connect them to systemic practices. i.e:
    • A company that takes 5 days too long to refund a deposit is a bad Yelp review. Not eligible for inclusion.
    • A company with 500,000 active repairs at any given time that purposely delays all deposit refunds for a period of five days, in order to invest/gamble with these deposits on their balance sheet, with verifiable hard proof from internal communications that this was an intentional & standard practice performed with malicious intent is eligible for inclusion.

"Quick story comment on "can you go get chips, can you get schematics" at 5:38 I have a "karaoke machine" in the shop for repair. It's basically just a very powerful home theater receiver that has mic inputs with effects. This one works as an amplifier, no sound from the mic. The manufacturer itself is who told this customer to bring it to me, they found me on google for her. I open it up and man it is complicated for a receiver. All the op amps for noise suppression and what not, I inject audio and start poking around with an oscilloscope. There are to many things, I don't know where I'm going. Since my customer was in contact with the manufacturer she gave me the contact.

I called them and asked if they had schematics they could send me. AND THEY DID!!!

With the schematics I traced the failure to a A to D chip on the effects board. I mailed the company back to thank them profusely for the schematics and let them know it helped me find the issue. Since the effects board is just a small daughter board that is connectored into the system just for the hell of it

I asked them if they sold the parts to replace it. AND THEY DID!!!!

They sell the entire effects board! I am going to try changing the one chip first but if that doesn't work for $50 I can just replace the whole effects board!

If anybody is ever shopping for a karaoke machine take a look at VocoPro! The one I'm working on is DA-9808-RV"
