Computer
Hardware vendors
[ top ]
-
There are so many vendors
in Sri Lanka for computer hardware. But be very careful when buying
expensive computer peripherals (e.g. Monitors, Hard disk,
Main boards, etc......) since some of them never replace the peripherals
when they are damaged with in the warranty period. When buying
such products be sure they provide a valid warranty card which is
signed by authorized personal.
On such case you can
write to the
Department
of Internal trade.
