Not only that, but you have to pick up the computer and read those numbers from the underside…

What – he reached some one whose native language is English?? Must be a very well to do company.

After you recite the 52 digit serial# and a five minute hold – you get an 18 yr old Maylasian who’s english language skills are right on par with a 4 yr old american child!

Clearly he already had the optical microscope in his hand when he was hearing the instruction to use an electron microscope.

No one else is bothered by the drawing of this guy? What the heck is up with his legs? What is he trying to do … or what is happening to him? Is that a giant tube or something?

It’s even harder for him because he only has the one giant blue-clad leg. He’s more of a land shrimp than a man.

I had that issue when I needed warranty service on a plantronics Bluetooth head set. Very tiny S/N printed in black on a black surface. It took a magnifying glass,a flashlight, and moving it back and forth to catch the contrast between the ink and the surface. The replacement they sent had the S/N almost twice the size and in white ink. I guess I wasn’t the only one to have problems reading the S/N. That said their warranty service was quite quick and easy.

Maybe it’s English, but with a thick accent?
