V-Class Dialogue



Dialogue between a clerk and a client complaining about computer problem that was bought in a store

Store Clerk: Good morning, how can I help you?

Customer: Hi, I’d like to make a complaint about a defective laptop I bought here last month.

Store Clerk: Do you have your store receipt with you?

Customer: Yes, I do. Here you go.

Store Clerk: There’s a one-year store warranty on this computer. We’ll be able to take a look at it today at no charge to you. If we can’t find the problem. We will exchange it for a new one.

Customer: Thank you. I’d appreciate that.

Store clerk: What seems to be the problem?

Customer: I think it’s overheating.It gets so hot whenever I use it and also the computer it’s not that credible.

Store Clerk: That is strange for such a new computer. Perhaps there’s something wrong with the cooling fan. Could I take a look?

Customer: Sure, here it is.

Store clerk: Everything looks good on the outside.Could I ask a few questions?

Customer: Yes, of course.

Store clerk: How long to you use it for before it overheats?

Customer: It usually feels very hot after one or two hours.

Store clerk: When it overheats, do you notice any loss of function? Does Windows run slower? Or something fortuitous that you did not know?

Customer: I have noticed that the touchpad becomes less sensitive to my touch, actually.

Store Clerk: What do you usually do on the laptop?

Customer: I use it to check my emails and write articles for my blog.

Store clerk: That shouldn’t cause it to overheat. The internal fan should be able to handle that.

Customer: Can you tell me what’s wrong with it then?

Store clerk: There could be something wrong with one of the components. Perhaps the battery, or the hard drive. Let me have a look.

Customer: Ok.

Store clerk: I’ve just finished running hardware diagnostics on the laptop. Everything looks fine. The good news is that the memory processor, BIOS, mainboard, and battery are all working properly. There doesn’t seem to be any damage or defects with any of the hardware.

Customer: So, what could the problem be?

Store clerk: That depends. Is the area where you use the laptop exposed to direct sunlight or heat?

Customer: Not at all. I use it in the bedroom at night.

Store clerk: Do you sit on the bed when using the laptop?

Customer: Yes, It’s usually on top of the covers on my lap. Why?

Store clerk: That’s probably why it’s overheating. The covers prevent the ventilation system from working properly. The cloth blocks the bottom and side vents.

Customer: That makes sense. So, if I don’t use the laptop on my bed, will it be ok? What do you advise me to do?

Store clerk: It should be perfectly fine. Just remember wherever you use it to allow air flow freely through those vents.

Customer: Thank you, I will.
