Have you ever called technical service departments for advice and help in troubleshooting or choosing a product? Depending on the reason for the call, the experience can vary from positive and helpful all the way to torture for both people. Working in technical service can feel like a very unrewarding job as you are handling complaints most of the time. However, an experienced technical service scientist can not only help solve your problems but can also become a trusted resource and friend. As a technical service representative for almost 5 years at a major biotech company, it would amaze me what people can do wrong with a simple kit. (more…)

Manufacturer Tech SupportIf you have problems with a laptop system, you will often need to contact the manufacturer directly for support, spare parts, system-restoration discs, and more. Especially if you are traveling, it is a good idea to keep the phone number and contact information for your system manufacturer (or supplier) handy. This section lists contact information for some of the more popular manufacturers and suppliers IBMIBM offers perhaps the best overall support in the industry for laptop systems. The only criticism might be that the company is so large, there are almost too many resources for help and support. If you are unsure about where to call within IBM, you can use the main support contacts:IBM North America1133 Westchester AvenueWhite Plains, NY 10604Phone: 800-IBM-4YOU (800-426-4968)Email: askibm@vnet.ibm.comWeb site: www.ibm.comMany of IBM's support resources are international, including toll-free numbers.Primary service and support: 800-IBM-4YOU (800-426-4968)

This is one of those stories you expect to see on one of those shows they run in the middle of the night that feature dumb criminals getting stuck in chimneys or locking themselves inside of stores. A guy in Missouri stole a machine that’s used to make driver’s licenses. Problem is, the computer was actually locked with a key that he didn’t have. The guy then calls tech support asking if he can buy drivers for the printer and uses the same phone number he used previously in an identity theft case. The secret service was listening in on this for some reason and ended up catching him.

FROM: A TROUBLED USER To: Dear Tech Support:                 Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 . I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 , Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Racing 3.6 I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favor ite applications.

“Uh, huh. OK. Mmmm-Hmm. I’m going to stop you right here - did you put the disk in the tray? The tray. No, Ma’am, there’s no cup-holder on it, that’s where the CDs go. Uh huh, you’re welcome!” “Hello, Tech Support, How May I Help You? You say… no keys? There are no keys on your keyboard? You mean like somebody pried them off? Are you sure it’s your keyboard we’re talking about, not maybe a motherboard? You’re sure you don’t have it confused with something else? OK, is it right-side-up? That’s… yes, that’s… uh huh, well it’s always good to check these things. You’re welcome!” “Hello, Tech Support, How May I Help You? Nope, that’s a virus going around.

Have you ever had problems with your hardware/software that your “local” forum could not solve? Let me introduce you to Tech Support Guy - the site celebrating 10 years of free technical support service. You’ll actually get professional support for software, hardware, design, web development and tech for free there. I myself am very fond of this site because I have watched it as it grew into one of the best places for free support on the web. Let’s face it - it’s really annoying to pay for technical support and probably you’ll get the same result from our friends at Tech Support Guy. So, my everyday advice today is: want free support? Go to Tech Support Guy. Stay tuned for more everyday advice as it is the weekend. 

Furthering my articles on tech support; If you have ever called a tech support line, I’m sure you been frustrated to no end. Just getting to a live person seems to be a secret. You have to learn to navigate silicone sally’s virtual menus. Sounds like an adult movie title, ok, ok - don’t get excited. You can’t avoid the stress though. Press one for sales, 2 for support, 3 for support in English, then you’re in the support menu… press one for desktops, 2 for laptops, 3 for both… If you are a wearing a clown suit; press 4, if you are not, press 5. You get the picture. Eventually, you’ll get a live person. Step 1 – Did you write down all those menu choices you made to get here? Better do it now. You’re going to need to call back, and you might as well save yourself some time. By no fault of the technician on the other end (mostly) I have been known to – accidentally - hang up on some callers. Purely by accident… cough.. cough..You will either be cut

We continue the top callers tech support complains about, as an object lesson as to what *NOT* to do when you have to rely on them at all. That’s a rare occasion for the tech-savvy audience of this site, right? Anyway… Oblivious Users: Of course, there are people who just do not get computers and never will. It’s not a character flaw. But 15 minutes of phone call is no place to expect them to give you a complete computer science course. Tech support desk workers get very tired of users who interrupt them at every step: “Hey! I didn’t know you could get the menu that way, how long has it been like that?” “Why can’t the Internet just come up every time?” “Why does it need a driver for that? What does it do?” At some point, you will hear answers to the effect of “It’s magic, sir, little elves make it go.” This is to avoid having the call turn into a marathon explanation of how the Internet works. P

Now, nobody who is elite enough to be reading this blog would fall into that category, would we? No, of course not! But, just in case you want to pass these tips along to a friend, (ahem), here is a list of callers which tech support desk workers complain about the most. Clip and save as a handy little list of what *not* to do… Anxiety Cases: It’s OK if you feel nervous around whatever device is misbehaving. That’s what tech support is for, after all. But extensive groveling “I’m sorry, I’m such a dummy, I don’t know anything, please forgive me, I don’t know what I did but it just stopped working…” just gets on their nerves and doesn’t serve any purpose. Chances are, they don’t know anything, either, they just enter your problem into a database and it coughs up the steps to the solution. Detailed Explainers: There is a fine balance between not enough and too much information. For instance, if Windows crash

I think an important thing in life can be to make it easy for people to help you. There are people out there who want to help us, but sometimes we can just get in our own way even when we don’t intend it at all. One area we’re almost all sure to need help in sooner, and later and probably often is with technology on our computer. However, sometimes that person isn’t right available where you’re at. They’re in one spot and your computer is in another. Yet, you want to get the help right now. So, what can you do to make it easier for them to help you? Here’s what I’ve found to be helpful as a great resource. Sign up for a service that allows someone remote access to your computer. I used a service called Log Me In, which you can find at www.logmein.com. The service can be relatively inexpensive. It only costs $70 for a full year access. They have a good security system set up that will be particular to each machine. This has been helpful for me to use an outside tech advis
