The question is why is he always buying tv up and down?? He should recheck the wiring of his inverter or better still save up money and get brand new TV.

fbtowner:
Hello bro. I noticed you said you are an installer for inverter.

Please what would be the cost of setting up one for theses appliances

One lg flat screen tv
2 standing fans
One MacBook laptop 85w
One inverter A/C 1.5hp
4 corner lights. Those that use to have 3 colors

For a duration of 12hrs


I’m sorry about your TV ordeal. I guess you were just unlucky. I bought my TV at Alaba too. Had a few issues but I fixed them myself as I’m technologically inclined and it’s fine up till now. I hope you can find a resolution.

Betnomore:
I wanted to message you privately before I saw this your comment. I only support the full refund if the there is a mismatch in the model number but now you have said it’s for the first TV and not the second one. I believe we can all come to a just decision but the truth is that you will have to bear the loss the most. It’s unfavorable but that’s just business. You win most and lose some.

This is not about saving money, I went through all the store that I know today I did not see that jinko, saw this choice, vip and sunflex or something like that,

GloriousGbola:
I have two LG TVs. They are on ups but the ups battery has not been replaced. No stabiliser, no surge arrester. And they have had no issues for the past 4 years.

I am always wary of buying TVs from alaba first and foremost because the TV will not be moved in original Styrofoam packaging that absorbs shocks. You cannot guarantee that vibrations or bumps will not rattle components in the TV when you drive it. Those selling it know this.

Also some TVs come with faults that are inexpertly fixed. Whether this is deliberate or laziness, I can't say. I know for instance that most issues with TVs seem to come down to blown capacitors that can be replaced. But what quality of capacitor is the seller using? One that will blow at the smallest power issue, prompting additional charges?

Abbeyb1ack:
The model number of the TV is diffrent from the physical set ?

odimbannamdi:
Bro, i dont think this is fair on the buyer at all at all.

Take the time out to search for and read the fraud thread about Sommydisaster (another seller of tokunbo TVs), also read the testimonies from other people there, you will see that there is clearly a pattern and probable intent to these issues.

Again, there are inconsistencies with the software version written of the TV and manufacturer website (49" ) and what it is sold as (50" ), strongly suggesting a rework, follow-come defect or persistent underlining issue. We all know the kind of underhanded manipulations that go on at Alaba International. This is not a coincidence.

Also, if you understand the working mechanism of an inverter, you will understand that a pure sinewave delivers a very clean electricity wave and a 3kva inverter is large enough to carry normal home appliances without having to trip off while working or being connected. I use an inverter too so I speak out of direct experience. I am more at ease using my TV on my inverter than using it on Nepa light.

If Alabaconnect is not forthcoming with refunding the buyer's money in full, then he should replace the screen at his own full cost and give warranty on the screen. It is very wrong for him to compel the buyer to contribute money to repair the screen of a TV he has gotten zero value for money from. Would you agree to same if it was you?

Sumerians:
Personally, Anything Tokunbo TV from Alaba, Same thing with Tokunbo Phones from Computer Village. Too many Evils going on in those two Places. I have had Horrible Experiences most especially at that Computer Village. Some people are very Heartless.

I won't Near these two Places with a long feet Pole no matter how sweet the deal Is. Except I am directly shipping It myself or through a very trusted relative. Some of those TVs have been Opened and Worked on at Alaba, Same thing goes with the Phones. It's just like all those Tokunbo Motors where you will hear Non-Accidented, Clean Title etc.

Then What sometimes surprises me Is that, As an Individual, If you can afford to buy a Used Tv for 200k+. Why don't you Close eyes to buy a New One even If it cost X2. Doing that will make you have Peace of mind. I understand the Tokunbo TVs are High Standard Grade TVs. But does one know the History of the TV?

I can buy Tokunbo of other Appliances like Fridge, AC etc without getting too worried but TV? Nah. To each its own.

The story is getting too long. He should Refund you without delay.

Compliant:
Sir, please can you share with us any information as regard your use of a TV set with this inverter?

The reason I am asking is that, the image attached shows different holes, which means you had previously used other TV set before now sir if I am right, was there are issue or it was just an upgrade.

Thank you

theenchanter:
I'm not judging but if I'm to go by ur write-up and what I could get from the internet regarding this issue, I'll say the fault is actually from his end.

The truth is that, even if u repair the tv and the underlying problem is still there ( from his end ), then he'll surely come back with the same complain.

I'll suggest the buyer should calm down ( if he's seeing this ). He should take ur option and call his technicians to figure where the problem is coming from.

theenchanter:
thank u sir. I'll wait for Alabaconnect to answer some questions too.

theenchanter:
looks like electromagnetic interference.

Are some electrical appliances close to the tv? If yes, what type of appliances. If no, then it's not EMI.

But I need to know, how long did it take for u to notice the lines? Was the tv tested by u at all in the beginning?

Sorry for my questions.

theenchanter:
ok sir.

How long did u used the first tv before u noticed it? How long did u used the second tv before u noticed too?

Finally, did the second tv shared the same problem with the first before getting the horizontal lines or it had the horizontal lines from the beginning?

theenchanter:
Normally, TVs flicker at a fast rate than our eyes can see, when the flicker is apparent, it could be a connection problem, but when the flickering leads to a broken part of the TV, then it's surely a power problem. This, I'm very sure of.

@Alabaconnect, could u shed more light on the TV u sold to trippledots? Was it really a tampered set cos u said it's an open box.

@Trippledots, I don't want to believe two different TVs will have the same problem, and if Alabaconnect is truthful about the first TV working fine right now, I want to believe the fault is from ur end, especially if many appliances are on the inverter.

TVs are delicate appliance that needs constant flow of power and if the flow is unstable, it'll affect the tv.

ALABACONNECT:
When I say a set is Open-box, it means it was either barely used and not used at all. Though they don't always come in their factory cartons, they are shipped with or without their accessories. What we take most into consideration during container selection are the model and the series. NU is 2018 while RU is 2019. A model with RU7300 is 2019 series 7. The only time we take the other numbers into consideration is when it starts with 4 like RU7400 which indicates it can allow for some QLED functions. Honestly, the number has nothing to do with this current situation at hand.

Trippledots:
ALABACONNECT you are a twisted human being.
You sold a set to me that the next day it started having issues, you replaced it with another set and in less than 2 weeks or so the replaced unit started ANOTHER type of screen issues.! All this within two months oh....the same socket where this tv is plugged i have a surge connected,i have a mini LED projector and my DStv connected all working fine to this minute.

And to think I dropped an unsolicited review about you that you were atleast trustworthy, not knowing you are a dubious person.

Since you have brought this to the open, I will respond to other Nairanlanders to judge.

Firstly the set you claim is open box, I later found out when all the issues started that the model number in the TV was even for a 49in curved TV online of which you sold as a flat screen 50in telling me it's not a big deal. How is a 49in curve manifesting as a 50in flat screen and you claim the set hasn't been tampered with

ALABACONNECT:
Well, I'll start from the last statement. I'll take that one with my full chest. I know smart tv sets have energy saver but I have never at any point felt the need to do any settings on it. Thanks for explaining that

I didn't at any point avoid your calls Chief.

Trippledots:
After that call, which was inconclusive because I couldn't wrapy mind about what you just said, I called a TV seller ( who I should have bought from anyway if I knew that you sell scrap) and he told me that from experience that kind of tv flickering is something that must have beeb but was likely repaired before the set was sold to me. And he even advised that even replacing the screen can never be like a direct one from the manufacturer... It was at this point I said I can't be sharing cost with you for something that is clearly bot from my end and I told you that as agreed earlier, you should send a good working tv with atleast 3months warranty or fully refund me money.

Your response was that YOU CAN NOT REFUND ME ANY MONEY, AND WE MUST SHARE THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT.

Trippledots:
I got the TV for #190k, in the course of our discussion after you sent me that message of sharing cost you mentioned that to change screen is #150k!!! So what is not the essence of getting a UK used TV if it is worse than a seemingly fragile nigerian made but new set from major distributors like fouani?

Trippledots:
Well, I said I even have a surge connected aswell but no problem help me get the smart surge you said I need to connect it to. Later you came back after some days of one excuse or the other and said that the repairer said the chip he put in the TV didn't work, that the only solution now is to replace the whole screen and for that we will have to share the cost. For a TV that I have barely used, the screen lights up but dances crazy??

Trippledots:
The replacement unit you came to pick up, I even offered to pay for the delivery and pickup of which you sent a sienna to pick it up meanwhile when you were doing the pick up of the initial TV you semt a guy that carried the set on his shoulder. Thats btw.

I will try to be brief and pick points because this thing is long. After you picked up the set, you started delaying in replying my messages while still advertising your items on whatsapp status, and I'll have to reply your status before you will respond saying you have been busy blablabla.

After you picked the second set, you said you were going to send it to a samsun repairer that you don't know what may have caused it, i said ok. Later you came back that the repairer and some other persons you spoke to said they are not sure what may have caused it but that MAYBE it's the power that was not enough... I told you that I use an inverter in this TV and my whole house, my supply is fine. You said ok, that I should get a smart surge. This is you who claimed not to even know what energy saving and eco mode on a TV is when I visited your shop, na me de teach you that day!

ALABACONNECT:
Yes, I think it is him.

SolarEngr:
He made payment last Friday (17/3/2023) for a 2KVA system, the materials for installation was sent on Tuesday, luckily, one of our Team member was also in Enugu for a 10KVA System Installation, so the materials arrived Enugu this morning, he picked it up and contacted our Engr who quickly started the installation and successfully finished it single handedly.

The End cable melted and short due to fire incident. It was like that for that like as the person didn't separate the end cable.
