Computer Dealers' Mafia in Unity Plaza, Sri Lanka
Recently I had a problem with my VGA card. At first I was not sure whether it was a VGA card problem or some other hardware problem. So I had to check the VGA card first. Hence I went to the dealer I bought my PC - "PC Partners" (Its an under cover for "PC House Technologies") First I went to the shop which I bought the computer, and the sales boys were simply told me to goto the repair center which is located about 500m away, which I comply. Then there is a queue for inquires, and I was able to make my request after about 30 minutes. I made my request and handed-over my VGA card just for check whether its working fine or not. then I was asked to sit and I was told it will take about 30-40 minutes. Anyway..finally it took good TWO HOURS to tell me that the card is not working and the warranty is lapsed :(. During my two hour stay I witnessed the dealer's stubbornness few times. One customer has bought his Printer for Rs. 4000.00 and he is having a problem with that, the dealer asked him to pay Rs. 3800.00 for just to replace a Data cable an amount close enough the cost of a Brand new Printer. He went cursing. The Other occasion was, one client came with defected hard drive, He was simply told that they were not providing warranty for burnt hard drives. At that moment what I felt was what do they mean by warranty and how we know it is a 'burnt' or 'some other thing' or simply the dealer evading the warranty by telling the item is burnt...NO ONE TO CARE..
The other incident is, I bought a new VGA card from NEAT (or is it CHEAT) Technologies..when I try to install the VGA card, it was apparent that the dealer has changed the driver CD, hence I couldnt install the card. I had to go again to the CHEAT TECHNOLOGIES to get changed the wrong Driver CD. When I go there they simply told me to goto Wellawatte, totally ignoring my difficulties and it was their total negligence. what they had to do is simply provide me with the Correct Driver CD. But They Simply turned down the request and told me to goto Wellawatte for any after sales requests. If this is not a mafia what it is???
This is Sri Lanka..anything is possible when you have money..

I will tell you something about ASUS Center.
I bought a 2.1 JBL sound system from there with one year warranty. after six months i notised that its speaker of right sat is damaged and i went to Asus center at Wellavatthe and they asked me to go to there repair center at Kollpety.
Then I went their and a girl at their, told me that last week another customer went with the same problem and they didn't accept it because it is a physical damage. how ever she told me that she will try to do something. After a while she came and told me that it is a physical damage and they cant repair it.
Then i asked them to repair it for a payment. answer is "No parts available".
Then i asked for advise for a place to buy the whole part(right sat). Answer is "No where".
Wheres the damn after sales service????
What the hell is going on in Sri Lanka????
Sep 9, 2008, 10:11:00 PM
Yes, they'll never do any after sales services. PC House, NEAT, or any other, they all are same. But the thing is u should have some knowledge about those parts, then u can get the better out of it.
if they see that u r new to the field and know nothing about computers, sorry to say mates u are finished.
Sep 10, 2008, 3:55:00 AM
Indika's comments are total correct.
Sep 13, 2008, 12:46:00 AM

I bought a new HP dv5-1104tx notebook pc from The Technocity (Private) Ltd, No - 303, First Floor, Unity Plaza, Colombo 04, Sri Lanka. (www.laptop.lk) on the 6th(Wed) of November. It is a blue screen error piece of shit. First it gave the error on 8th(Sat) Nov. I had it fixed on the 10th(Mon) Nov. It gave the error again on 11th(Tue) Nov. I took it to them for repairing and they told me that they will replace a new pc as soon as they find the error. I even video recorded the error to my phone and showed it to them. But they said they need to see it them selves. So i had to leave my new pc with them on the 17th(Mon) Nov. Now it is the 20th of Nov still they are trying to fix it. FIX it those M****r F*****s told me that they will replace my pc with a new one. It has been 14 days since i bought it from them but the so called HP business partner had my notebook pc more than i had it for myself. i Still didn't get my pc.
If anyone can provide me any legal actions I could take against them please inform me at dokoja@gmail.com

I bought a PC from PC House Nugegoda. The RAM was not working and they asked me to go to Unity Plaza stores and said they will immediately replace it. So I went all the way to Bambalapitiya and the guy at the stores said you have to bring the PC if you need the RAM to be replaced. After I took the PC ( I had to spend for transportation from Nugegoda to bambalapitiya ) this guy said come in another 3 days. I visited this place after 3 days and this guy asked me whether I gave a call before I went there. He said it is not ready and come in another two days and give a call before go there again. After two days he gave me a another memory card which when brought to Nugegoda branch was not working again. They then said it is a mother board problem. Then I had to go to bambalapitiya and wait another three days to get a new one. They then said they don't have this type of mother boards in the stores (Gigabyte) and they were trying to give me a cheaper mother board with less features. When I asked if they give me the balance they said according to their rules they cannot return money. Then I had to go with a lawyer and got my money (5000/=) back after informing that we were going to report this to consumer affairs authority. I am executive and I had to get many leaves due to this. These people never think that they waste other people's time and money. They only talk to people very well until they make the payment.

Hello friends,
I need to bring your attention about HDD, main boards, optical drivers ( DVDR/ CDROm etc).
You are buying used products in Sri Lanka as new . All HDD , main boards in Antistatic cover (all kind of polythese pouchers) are tested / used and cleaned. THEY ARE NOT NEW.
I am a exporter of Computer hardware items to international market and I deal with this stuff hourly basis. I have more details , images regarding the topic.
As I have a IT whole sale company in Srilanka ( Colombo) , i cannot point out my finger to sales companies as its un ethical. But i wanted to show the the truth.
DONT BUY HDD ; MAIN BOARS and Products in Antistatic cover (all kind of polythese pouchers).
And assembled computers have made with such parts for sure. Do not buy assembled products in Unity plaza as they are purchasing 5000 HDD and 7500 Main boards per year.
Its a muslim mafia in Unity plaza.
Best regards,

i got a 22" Samsung (2243BWX) LCD monitor. After two month backlight problem occured(Back light burned). So i go to PC Partner for warranty claim. They didn't replaced me that monitor. they told me they have no stock and try to give me another brand lcd(market price is very lower than my one). i reject it. I told them i don't need the monitor anymore and give me my money. After 4 days i go with my friend and after blamed they give my money. But they less 2850/- for one month usage. What a F***? No customer care No good service. Don't buy anything at PC house, PC partners, Sri Computers etc. They all are F*****s.

I agree with your comments as indicating "Mafia in Unity Plaza"... But absolutely disagree for the Comment saying its "Muslim Mafia"... since dont try to create a conflict between Muslim Brothers and Sis with other Religion.... But i feel absolutely sorry for the Incocent guys who are being kicked on their back when they go for after sales service...
Absolutely in Sri Lanka the word Warrenty and Gurentee is a simple written document for the purpose of marketing the products (Increase the sales).... Since these burgers known that no body is going to take legal actions against them "Since they have the Power and Authority"... But as an individual its hard to fight with them... its better adviced to form as a team (group of people). and than go for legal actions....
These Guys shouldnt be kicked out of Unity Plaza "But should be kicked out of Sri Lanka"...orinto the beloved home Central Jail for misleading the Innocent people, its totally fraudulent....... We should join hands to know the actually meaning for the word after sales service, Guraenty and warrenty..... at present no f***ing company knows the meaning for the above.... since i have faced so many problems in difficulties in this aspect.......
Jan 27, 2009, 4:13:00 AM
Yep totally agree about these freaking idiots in Unity Plaza. Even I got a pc which i bought from unity plaza (I won't mention the name of the shop but it's the shop next to the escalator) and initially its vga wasnt working properly. And the whole computer started giving trouble after sometime. Even after few trips to that stupid shop they couldn't fix it properly. Totally screwed up F*****s. If you want to assemble a pc just DONT BUY STUFF FROM UNITY PLAZA OR ANY OF THESE LOW LEVEL FREAKS. Try to get down the parts and then build it with yourselves. Thats the best way mates. Cheers

yes, Im agree with you Mr.Indika.
'CHEAT Technologies' GO TO HELL
Feb 25, 2009, 11:23:00 PM
This has been happening since last 10 years.I agreed totaly with Indika.
Unfortunately people not complain to the relevent authorities in writing.
Most of Unity Paza outlets handleing by the PC house and very less amount of companies.They are cheating customers.Don't go to Unity Plaza to purchase computers.You can buy a computer at little less amount.But after it get some trouble you have to expend lot of money & waste your valuble time for repairing it by this people.Finaly they are not ready to offer your warrentry fault come on your head and you have to bear the cost of failure.
There are lot of shops out side the unity plaza available to purchase computers.Pl write all your complains to authorities like
Consumer Protection Authority,Ombustment to the Parliament,Ministry of Consumer Affairs-Compains Div.

Apr 6, 2009, 3:26:00 AM
I am totally agreed with your comments. We need some kind of authority investigate this matters.
Also I think it best to have a good blog like this or something else to report publicly.
I recond we need to promote something like following website to sell product in sri lanka to avoid those monopoly.
Have look at this web site

I had a same kind of a problem with my Combo drive. I purchased it from Kobian Technologies. The problem was reading some DVDs. Some read properly and some don't. I went there with my Combo and those DVDs whih are not working. They checked those DVDs in front me, I was correct. But they put another dvd and it worked. Then they told me that it's working and no replacement can be done. Then I went home. After a week or 10 days I went there with it again but I smoothly burnt it. Now the device is not working 100%. They had to replace that, no arguments made. That's a way to treat cheaters as cheaters

99% of the computer shops in unity plaza are owned by pc house or its subsidiaries. There is a muslim business mafia there. Those people are real frauds. dont trust them. always argue and complain to the mangaemnet. PC house sucks.
barclays is some what better

Regarding, Multimedia shop at 3rd floor,
They were trying to sell me Kaspersky Virus guard for 2500/= while the original price remains 1750/= even by removing the price tag.later I found out they are not register dealers to sell that product even.
Jun 29, 2009, 1:16:00 AM
Absolutely this all are tru. Those all shope only want money. after sale they didin,t care coustomers.
All computer shops in Unity plaza Go to hell.
Jul 27, 2009, 2:05:00 AM
This happens most of the places. But when similar situation happened don't wast your time by simply talking with sales persons at the shop. If they don't help you, just ask that you want to talk to the management. Then they will tell that you can talk to their repair center or some bullshit. Ignore all these funny things and directly talk to their higher managment and immediately your problem will solve. Please not that laws are strong more than enough to beat these buggers. But problem is you don't use them. Don't be affaid and tell that you need to talk to higger management and never mind the designation clearly explain your problem with fact. This method is equally applicable to insurance clamis as well.
Jul 29, 2009, 3:04:00 AM
yaa totally agree . i got laptop combo it burnt after 3 months. it had 6 mounths warranty. but what that fucking dealers said is physical damage.wont able to replace ar repair free

I do had that same problem with those shit hole places. now i do it by my self. Just get a branded compatible PC from Japan Soft IT lanka etc and try working with it. I got my self a samsung and a dell it works fine till this moment. I know that dell has very limited spares in sri lanka. but its like a BMW car. Runs great till problem starts. If you can learn a lil bit of computer hardware. you will just leave those shit hole places to them selfs and start building and repair you own PC. I started as a amature in PC hardware. Now I can teach those guys nd show them that they are bull shitters. Thanks to the net. Good luck.
Oct 29, 2009, 10:00:00 AM
yea you are totally correct there is a huge mafioso in unity plaza they always try to screw upped customers and filled up their pockets.
PC House used to be good but now it is going on a wrong way because PC House has lot of sub shops and they think they are like Hitler(rule the computer market)
so we need to ignore to buy computer parts from PC Hell because there parts are too much expansive I saw most of computer parts are selling cheaply on online but they sell them double (I know taxes are added but even exclude the taxes then you can buy them for good price)
I guess Unity Plaza rules the computer market.
so try another place to buy your computer parts if you know like that places then Email me.!
Oct 30, 2009, 4:42:00 AM
Are there any other places to by pc's (Other than unity plaza) ?
Oct 30, 2009, 6:35:00 AM
i read oll cmnts and like to agree.
oll these or most of them are handled by muslim people.so for their peoples, warranty claims are pretty fast.i know this for sure.dont say NO.i am a COMPTIA certified computer lecturer in colombo for three years.dealing with those fuckers from time to time.i am interested in learning tamil an other languages to unserdtand their communications infront of us.if you have money and want to work freely with your pc ,just buy a DELL or whatever branded pc from agents out of unity.less troubles than assembled.
or you need to care your pc yourself.to do this you must have a good communication skill and computer knowladge.
even with these if you deal with oll the shops in the unity ,you can get any benifits.
just find a suitable shop and deal with them continuously and let them know that you are a big customer.
claming procees is normally above 2 weeks.because some people are claiming for their hobby after damage their devices themself.
it is better to start a web regarding this.ithink INDIKA is the correct guy to do this.
indika pls start this and publish your link here.we all can right the same thing again in your web.no matter how long it take.
unity is selling the pc parts for very low cost thats why the market is pointing on it.
but money is money.low or high.it depend on the hands that hold the money.not the hand that going to have it.
FUCK YOU (if i can) unity.
Nov 14, 2009, 7:50:00 PM
can we do somting for this cheaters????
Dec 8, 2009, 12:15:00 AM
It's 100% correct.these dam cheaters act like angels till your purchase.But when you ask for after sales services or warrenty claims they will become devils.
I'm personally having two fucking experience.We must do somethig to finish the Mafia of PC HOuse
Dec 8, 2009, 9:46:00 PM
I accepted with you.. If you dont have any one of pc house (Pc master, Pc technologies, thats all of pc house )you will dont get any satisfied after sale service... If you cant understant muslim language you will confused.. because they communicate with that language and you cant understand any thing.. they give us to warranty (that mean 1to1 replace)but you want change mother board every time they gave used one (This is my experience since 1998 if you have big mouth you will win) after all I think if you face this problem you should complain to "paribogika arakshana adhikariya" they will solve your problem. they have more island wide branches and government sector. if you make a complain they ready to start and in the several time I won... its useless thing we scold to PC house.
Dec 10, 2009, 10:05:00 PM
Yes these bloody dealers dont knw hw d treat customers.
Jan 8, 2010, 2:23:00 AM

Hey nice place this is! wanna here my story... i bought a desktop for ma cousin from Neat just as they opened in Kandy and u know what guys... it started giving the blue screen from the first day so had to take it back to repair. And after they have checked the pc they said they couldn't find any problem! so anyway i took it back to my cousin then after a couple of days my cousin called and said the problem is back and i had to take it back again. Then they changed the Mother board battery and said now it's good. Ok i took back then after a couple of months the problem is back again back to NEAT SHIT!! then i had to explain the problem is with the mother board and because of my forcing they changed the Mother board. Again back to my cousin place. Anyway i took the thing back and fourth about 10 times during one year. That is about 120km of petrol and the distance to Colombo from Kandy. OK first year has ended then again the problem is back so we both went and gave the pc and the old technical fucker wasn't there that idiot i don't know why the hell they call him a technician!! anyway the new guy was good and he found out the problem but for our bad luck it was too... late. The problem is with the processor and it's totally fucked up now after one year... and they said we have to buy a new one because the warranty is over... "what the fuck it's not our problem that your technician is and brainless piece of shit" but know one would listen... and you know what guys the processor is out of production... and they were going to give a second hand, lesser speed one for 6000.00 RS!!! the new one i bought an year ago was 10,000.00 RS. Anyways i found a processor from some other dealer. But now I'm So... FUCKIN' glad to say that they have closed there shop in Kandy and has gone...

Not only the partner shops of PC house, All shops are Sucks , Mitech computers ( some people say that this one is better than Pc house stuffs)
Actually is no true ..... To get a repair for my VGA in warranty period i had to wait 3 moths go to hell unity plaza
Jun 29, 2010, 6:32:00 AM
I dont know whether its too late to post a comment here but I have to say something.
Be careful when you are buying things specially like VGA cards from local shops. Recently I bought a VGA card(ATI HD4870) from ebay.com for 135$ (nearly Rs 16000). But same card are sold for Rs 35000(minimum price) in shops in Unity Plaza (or anywhere in sri lanka).
Be careful when buying VGA cards, processors (core i5, core i7, quad core) from here. OVERPRICED!!!
In addition they will mislead you to buy a worthless VGA card for higher price. Remember 1GB or 512MB means nothing. Before you buy a VGA cards or processor look at some benchmarks which help you to compare products.
Before buy compare the prices !!!
Jul 13, 2010, 9:05:00 AM
even im a muslim and i hate these fuckers!! they are like this to all, sri lankan muslims - notice that i specified "sri lankan muslims" are fucked up. not at all ethical. deceiving lying bastards!!
u all should take a class law action against them, also known as group law suite.
good luck. its a ashame. i dont blame u all for discriminating these sons of a bitches!

Dear Friends,
Today I negotiate with a computer dealer in Unity Plaza for a laptop for Rs 65000/= and promised them will purchase the same on Monday as the bank closed today.But after reading your comments,I never purchase a even a power cord from Unity Plaza.
Thanks for yours information for saving Rs 65000/= from the M***F***. --NB, 24th July 2010.
Aug 17, 2010, 10:06:00 AM
How many of you still go to Unity ?. Why did u want 2 go 2 Unity ? since its the price. So where ever the price is lower you go, do not use the top before buying or do not ask the top if i should buy. Its after that u shout at the shop.
What a lauging stock ? When the other shop outside unity charge a higher price u think they r robbing. What a sad situ.
The Unity share value too has gone up thanks to u guys.

I purchased a Toshiba Laptop from TECH Information Solutions (Pvt) Ltd in Unity Plaza (Colombo). It is the shop that you can see when you enter the first floor from the escalator (with an InkTec sign board at the entrance to the shop). The person there told me that if he sells a Toshiba Laptop he would not have any problem for five (5) years. He told that to me with a straight face and I believed in him. Now just barely 1 ½ years later the laptop is malfunctioning and everybody that I am showing the laptop is telling me that I have to change the laptop’s main board, which is very expensive. My advice is that do not buy anything from Unity Plaza. What is at Unity Plaza is a computer mafia that is collectively run by an organized bunch of crooked vendors.

Dear All,
Don't go PC House Shops ( Most of those are starting with PC) as well as techo City.( Laptop.lk) Those places are char....
IF u purchase something on Laptop.lk Surely it should be used one or it should not work very soon.

I also thought I must write something new cause everyone writing about sad or horrible experience which they have experience while purchasing PC heardwear, any way my advice is for everyone pl learn about what you are going to purchase and if you are not aware get some help.
I have very positive experience regarding buying new Pc system, I bought all component and I assembled PC by my self then system starts and there was a problem and then I took system back to Vendor known as TechZone in Kandy. First they have inspect and said problem in VGA card and they can replace it and at that day their senior technician was not available.Then I took rest of the system and try to work with that but still VGA driver problem was there then next day I took it back. At that day their senior technician was available and he ask me to keep system and go next day I went there and they have fix that but replace two ram cards. Nice service and very rare in Sri Lankan set up so I recommend TECZONE as good customer care vendor and I wish them to maintain it forever.

I have faced to a same kind of issue.
I bought my HP pavilion laptop from TechnoCity in unity plaza. Before 3 days to exceed the warranty my laptop came up with a problem. Display was totally unstable and i couldn't see a thing out of it.
I went to the aforementioned shop and asked them to repair. They took my laptop but next day was a holiday.
They said that they were going to send my laptop to the repair place day after the holiday. As i asked about the warranty period which was so near to expire, they said that will be totally oki, because i handed over it to repair before exceeding the warranty.
I called them several times to get to know about the repair and what they have always said was it has not been back yet from the repair.
I was in a middle of my exam and i was managing very hard without it. (My studies are related to IT)
After 3 months i have got a call from them and i felt like bit my a truck.
"Your laptop has a VGA triuble.Hence you have exceeded your warranty you have to pay 1 lakh and 15 thousand to repair it.(The entire motherboard needed to be replaced as they said)" Actually i even haven't spent that much to bought the laptop.
What actually has happened was they sent my laptop to the HP dealers after expiring my warranty. HP dealers do repairs for them and they refused to claim warranty as they received my laptop with expired warranty.
Space won't be enough to write what happened after that. But after lots of fights i was able to claim warrant and it repaired.
Repair center(HP dealers)were the only people who acted genuinely. Thanks to them i was able to got it repaired.
Anyhow it broken again last week. (1 and 1/2 years after the repair)Same Vga trouble came up!

Every one still like to buy stuff fm that Plaza even though they talk much about the shops in that place.
To have credibility you need to maintain what you say. No one can tell a electronic product can work without any defects for years. It all depends on how you use it.
Therefore before commenting pl make sure you are also correct.
