I hope so. I have just here my fully loaded (as americans say ) 4K without ANY CPY card.

Its a sad situation.

Hello!

Nice to see that people are starting to get cards back. I have a cyberstorm 604/060 which has only worked a few times the last year.

I'm planning to send it for repairs, thought I'd send it to Timothy/Hyperion. Anyone had their card repaired there?

Someone said they send it to AMIGA CENTER in france, anyone had any experience with them?

I was also told I could contact ron or palpatine here for repairs, is that true?

strife:
I sent mine to Hyperion but they just can manage to fix 680x0 or some other chips but not the PPC, so Timothy returned it.
Then i emailed Bill and Raquel and they forwarded me to Ron. He kindly got my card and it seems it is going by the right way to DCE.
Amiga France, mr Boulet firstly told me he couldn't fix it but later, he told me he could. I think he referred to 68k and resistors and so on ... He fixed me my A4000T and was very kind and communicative.
I do know 2 bussiness in Madrid, that do BGA works, they cost 150 € but they don't get micros. One of both uses security for poerforming operations, but is more expensive.

Hi Dudes

I was asking myself how many broken PPC cards are DCE or Phase 5.

Mine is a Phase 5 CSPPC 060. It was so cute :-(

What company made yours?

Nothing at all came back to me when I wrote him. I expect we will hear nothing all we have become used to these days. I have set a date of March first. After that I have talked to a lawer about what I can do. He told me if we all get together and tell the story, show this thread and the other as proof we have a good chance at winning a case against DCE. His services will not be to bad, and no fee will be charged if we loose.

as already said, we (or better me, as VirtualWorks "ambassador") agree with your idea.

Ron has done all what he could make but . .  . noone is still reacheable at DCE. (by phone, by mail and on place too)

Acill, tell us what we can do.

More people, less money to spend with the lawyer.

The best choise, should be to find a lawyer in Germany or if your lawyer is a friend of yours, ask him to contact one in Germany.

We can collect:

- how much boards (SN-Model-receipt)

- shipment date and ticket

Guys . . . soon or someday, we will see our board on EBay ;-)

Let we know.

Cheers

Well I got word back from my lawer friend. He was all for the case and was going to do it for free if we didnt win and take 10% if we won. He ran into a problem and from here nothing can be done. Since the case would involve so many clients from so many countries its a legal nightmare he said. A Class action case would have to be filed in each country that someone is living in thats involved. This would cost thousands of dollars alone. I dont have that to spend on a $850 card myself.

The other solution is to get a lawer in Germany to sue on our behalf in a German court. This will be much more simple of a case and would not require anything filed in any other place but Germany! I dont know anyone in  Germany so I can so nothing other then ask for some gelp here. I know a few Germans are on this site. Any of you want to look into it?

[Framiga]

Hi Acill,

exactly the same situation here (even if in EU).

The lawsuit (yes a lawsuit, because a simple letter from the lawyer, will be used by Dellert, like toilette paper) MUST start from Germany.

Is there an involved user who lives in Germany?

Cheers

[Acill]

I've contacted a few law firms in Germany and I am waiting for a reply. I would ask that a person in Germany do the same. It would be nice if they could print this thread and the other one out and take it to them. Most should look at it for free and decide if its a good case or not. I dont see how we could loose with all the proof. Maybe even Genesee will get in so they can make sure the production of the Pegasos isnt held up because of it?

[Framiga]

Hi Acill,

ok welldone.

Anyway, forget Genesi . . . .they have other "problems" ATM.

Can you post the layout of the mail sent to the German police for reference?

Cheers

[Acill]

got a reply from the German police. Here it is in german:

RE: Problem with a company there in Germany named DCE
Sehr geehrter Herr Rezendes ,

From the German I know it looks like they have forwarded my email to the Police in Oberhausen and asked them to follow up on it quicky. The subject I used is at the top too Framiga.

I'm not too sure if law enforcement agencies like it when you paste their emails on a public forum.....:-).

[Acill]

I got that email off a public web portal they have so its okay I am sure.
