Warranty FAQs
What warranty options are available for products?
Warranty options depend on the product category and the brand. Sri Computers offers warranty support for laptops, desktops, servers, networking equipment, projectors and displays. We also provide extended warranty and warranty management services to help customers protect their investments beyond the standard manufacturer warranty.
How do I claim a product warranty?
To claim a product warranty, contact Sri Computers with the product details, purchase proof and serial number. We guide you through the warranty process, coordinate with the manufacturer or supplier, and arrange repair or replacement services as needed under the warranty terms.
Does Sri Computers provide warranty support for refurbished products?
Yes, we provide warranty support for refurbished products purchased from Sri Computers. Our refurbished devices come with defined warranty terms and service support to ensure reliable use after purchase.
What is covered under a standard hardware warranty?
A standard hardware warranty typically covers manufacturing defects, component failures and hardware malfunctions that happen under normal use. It does not usually cover accidental damage, liquid spills or unauthorised repairs. Warranty conditions vary by manufacturer and product category.
Can I extend a product warranty?
Many products allow a warranty extension through the manufacturer or the vendor. Sri Computers can help you arrange extended warranty coverage for eligible laptops, desktops and business equipment so you maintain support for a longer period.
How do I know if my product is still under warranty?
You can check warranty status using the product serial number on the manufacturer’s warranty portal or by contacting Sri Computers. We can verify your warranty status and help you understand the available support options based on the product’s purchase date and warranty coverage.
Data Recovery FAQs
Can Sri Computers recover data from a failed hard drive?
Yes, Sri Computers offers data recovery services for failed hard drives, SSDs and other storage devices. We assess the drive condition, determine the cause of failure, and attempt to recover data using industry-standard tools and techniques. Success depends on the type and severity of the failure.
How much does data recovery cost?
Data recovery costs vary by device type, failure mode and complexity. Simple recoveries from logically damaged drives may cost less, while physical damage or severe corruption can be more expensive. We provide an initial assessment and cost estimate before beginning the recovery process.
Can you recover data from encrypted drives?
Data recovery from encrypted drives is possible if the encryption key or password is available. Without the correct decryption credentials, recovery is typically not feasible. If you have the encryption information, our team can attempt recovery while maintaining data confidentiality.
How quickly can you recover lost data?
Recovery timelines depend on the device condition and the extent of the damage. Simple recoveries may be completed in a few days, while complex physical repairs or deep data reconstruction can take longer. We prioritise urgent business recoveries and keep customers updated on progress.
Can you recover files after accidental deletion?
Yes, accidental deletion from a hard drive or SSD can often be recovered if the storage sectors have not been overwritten. Avoid using the device until recovery is attempted, and contact us promptly for the best chance of retrieving deleted files.
Do you provide data recovery for RAID systems?
Yes, we provide data recovery for RAID systems including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10 configurations. RAID recovery can be complex, and we perform careful analysis to reconstruct the array and recover data while minimising risk.
Networking FAQs
What networking services does Sri Computers offer?
Sri Computers offers networking services including wired and wireless network design, router and switch installation, Wi-Fi optimisation, firewall configuration, VLAN segmentation, network security and structured cabling. We also support network monitoring, troubleshooting and upgrades for business, education and healthcare environments.
How do you improve Wi-Fi coverage in offices?
We improve office Wi-Fi coverage by performing a site assessment, identifying dead zones, and deploying access points in optimal locations. We also configure SSIDs, channel planning and power levels to reduce interference. This results in more stable wireless connectivity for staff and guests.
What is VLAN and why is it important?
A VLAN, or virtual LAN, segments network traffic logically to improve security and performance. It allows businesses to separate guest access from internal systems, isolate IoT devices, and protect sensitive data. VLANs are important for corporate and healthcare networks because they reduce exposure and simplify access control.
Do you configure secure VPN access?
Yes, we configure secure VPN access for remote staff and branch offices. VPNs provide encrypted tunnels for secure data transmission, enabling remote access to corporate resources while protecting sensitive communications from interception.
How often should I upgrade networking equipment?
Networking equipment should be evaluated every 3-5 years or when performance no longer meets business needs. Factors such as user growth, bandwidth demands, security standards and new wireless technologies influence upgrade timing. We help clients assess whether incremental upgrades or full refreshes make the most sense.
What brands do you recommend for business networking?
For business networking, we recommend trusted brands like Cisco, Ubiquiti, TP-Link, MikroTik and Netgear. These brands offer reliable switches, routers and access points suitable for different budgets and deployment sizes. Our team chooses products that align with your network requirements and support expectations.
