Hello
To be honest it is not easy to say what to do.
...the connection between the AC charger and the computer got damaged from overheating issues
I really don’t know how something like this can happen. I mean if the temperature was so high to damage this connection what is with other notebook parts and components. Following my logic your notebook should be more damaged than that.
Please don’t understand me wrong now but somehow it is strange issue. You are also the first one who reports about this so I’m pretty sure it is nothing but isolated case.
Any ideas on how to proceed apart from making a formal complaint to customer defense...
Be cool and try to clarify this with service. They have own rules like any other serous company.
...and not reccomending Toshiba to anyone?
I don’t know what to say about that. For me it sounds pretty childish. When I read this it sounds like some kind of revenge and way to get some satisfaction. Don’t waste your time with something that will not help at all. Would you do the same if you will have problems with TV, video player, mobile phone, car....and and and .... I don’t think so. Where is the end?
In the past I had several problems with different products in my home or with my car. That’s the life my friend. Sometimes everything is OK but sometimes we have simply ....bad luck.
