Now that I've read the first story on what happened I think he probably was so busy that he by accident sent somebody else your machine and sent you that guy's. But, like you said, yours had the remote PP mod so you would think he'd notice that. I bet he just mailed somebody yours by mistake and then sent you the one he should have sent to them without knowing what he did. That would explain why there was no explaination (he didn't realize what he did). If that's the case then he should find out who he sent it to and get it back, switching them. If it was a problem with your machine not being able to be fixed then in that case he should have called you and asked if he could send you a beat up one that at least works. I really think he switched machines with out knowing it because he was doing several repairs at one time. Either he should track down your machine and get it back or offer you money to make up the difference in condition, or he should send you a machine that is in as good of condition as yours was. He could have made an honest mistake by sending you the wrong machine and didn't realize it, but a mistake like that is still his responsibility in so he should fix it if that happened. He might very well have done this by accident and not on purpose or anything so we should all give him the benefit of doubt in that respect. I doubt he purposely tried to switch machines on you, but like I said it's still his problem to fix.

there's more emails to be posted later about this on my original post.please read and please tell me if I'm at fault here??I'm sure he could have made a mistake but when you read his emails back to me you ll see why I'm thinking differently now about same thing.....he took my monies and my machine and knowingly did switch out my machine as he has admitted in an email he sent to me last night....he admits to switching out the main PC board...but still contends he sent me back same pod....which i tell you he didn't, IMHO he switched what he needed out and sent me back what he wanted....as noted in his own email....now he threatens to sue me for defamation of character????oh my god...this guy is a real piece..ill post these after while and please read and let me know what Ive done wrong here??
thanks

John - I don't see how you are at fault at all. Whether he made a mistake or not, the ball was totally in Bill's court to resolve the issue without incident. He certainly didn't take that route. As far as him threatening to sue you, if you have everthing documented (and it appears that you do), he may be trying to scare you. And for those who have utilized him in the past with good results, that's great, but put yourself in John's shoes. Would you be satisfied?
You aren't at fault and this is a good example of what someone havine a bad attitude (not you John) can lead to. If he had been civil to you and tried, I bet this could all have been worked out... I have lived long enough and seen enough to know that if it quacks and waddles... it is a duck. Everything is obvious except whether he did it with malice or whether he made a mistake and then tried to cover it up.. or both. An honest person whould have shown concern and would have immediately looked into it and tried to make it right.

Just look at all the slander on the net people throw up about others. Suing for deflamation of character for what's said on the net is like spitting in the wind. I doubt he'd get anywhere with that even if he had a good case and even if you aren't telling us the truth (I'm sure you are telling us just the facts, so I'm not implying that you aren't) about not getting the same machine back, it would still be very hard to do IMO. But, like I said, I would give him a benefit of the doubt. More than likely he by mistake sent you the wrong machine, but it's still up to him to make things right. It was his responsibility since he didn't ask you if he could do that. Assuming it was an honest mistake (I'm sure it was), he still should try to find your machine for you or offer money to make up the difference in condition. Just my opinion though. With all the good reports on him with prior repairs for people it sure does sound like he just sent out the wrong machine by mistake to me. It's up to him to settle things and make it right if that's the case IMO.
