where does he live? where do you live? pay him an unexpected visit.
I'd be ****ed about the opus 120. but who cares about the dust...
sucks about the lcd too.
Some of you remember my sad story few month ago. Just in short. It will be 1 year since I have ordered few things from user "Cartunes" from this forum. I was waiting for the package for months, after half year I decided to make whole thing public to warn other users when making an aggrements with that user. Of course people were shocked and I have also received some disaggrements on what I did (made it public). But this was the only way. After few hours (hours! not days or months as before) I have received the feedback from user and he sent the package immediately to my friend in California.
In the meantime I have already bought whole CarPC setup, inclusive brand new Xenarc 10" widescreen, I've also posted my project in "Show off your project", and I decided to wait sending the package to me, because I had a friend with plan to go to US in the following months. And today was the day when my friend had come back and bring me all the stuff...
...and I am really disappointed again! If I decribe you in few words. In package should be:
1. LCD screen 10.4" 4:3 800 NITS
It is, but it is not working - I connected VGA input - nothing, I connected composite input - nothing, WTF? Backlight is working, but there is no picture and there is a RED led on controller. Buttons like Menu etc.. doesn't work at all (it shows nothing):
2. brand new 10.4 touch screen panel kit from DigitalWW
Cartunes was waiting for it for 2 times to get it in one piece (he received it broken for 2 times!), but don't worry, it is in one piece, but it is used! DigitalWW have sent him the used one? I payed him for the brand new panel as we had an agreement. And I don't want to mention that it was packaged so bad, that connector was "begging" to be broken - fortunate it wasn't:
3. brand new OPUS 150W power supply 12V from DigitalWW
Where the hell is the brand new Opus 150W as expented? What I have here is some unknown brand 70 or 120W 10-30V power supply and it is also used!? I remember that he was waiting for 14 days for Opus 150W to be avaiable in stock at DigitalWW store. I payed him for the brand new Opus 150W.
4. D-Link USB DSB-R100 FM radio
Where the hell is it? He forgot to put it in a package?
5. adaptor IDE to slim DVD
This thing is missing too.
I have sent him PM immediately, and confirmation status was readed after few minutes, I warned him I will make it public again if he will not reply immediately, becase I am tired of this s***, that's where I am right now...
And just for remind, I have every single PM sent to him and every PM received from him (almost 100 PM-s!), collected - just for sure, that he will remember, what he promised me and what I was expecting in the package.
What would you do in my case?
Uros
Pictures:
LCD is showing nothing, only backlight and RED led...
Package of brand new touchkit...
The connector was "begging" to be broken during shipping...
Who gets fingerprints, small scratches on brand new touchkit...
...and "glue" on connector...
...
Coffee or dust?...
Brand new OPUS 150W... yeah right...
...dust on the brand new power supply?...
Specifications of OPUS 150W?...
Missing picture, because there was no D-Link USB FM to picture
Missing picture, because there was no IDE - slim DVD adapter![]()

Ou, I forgot to mention that 5 things costed me:
$550 in total (transfered year ago to cheater's bank account)
$50 (Western union transfer)
147 EUR (=$172) customs and taxes when importing to my country (but that cost is not part of this problem - it's our stupid laws)
I am from Europe, and he is from America, but nowadays, this is not such a problem, isn't it![]()

did you use a credit card, paypal, or direct Xfer of money?? Either Credit card or paypal would have did a small investigation and refunded your money.... that wouldnt have fully fixed the prob thou because he would have still gotten his $$

IIRC this wasn't the first time that europeans have had problems with cartunes.
Post his City, too. I'm sure someone on this board would be willing to pay him a visit on your behalf.
Anytime you buy something that is fairly expensive its a good idea to use a service like www.iescrow.com to protect yourself.
