Tablet maker Pandigital no longer offering warranty replacements, reminds us it's now out of business

To be completely fair, Pandigital officially called it quits back in July of this year, when it handed the remaining of its assets to a liquidator in order to comply with the don’t-call-it-a-bankruptcy process. Now, however, the creator of that 7-inch Novel slate has been contacting former customers — that are experiencing tablet woes — to let them know it will no longer be able to offer such customer service, noting that “due to this liquidation process any further requests for warranty replacements cannot be honored.” Given its earlier filing with the Credit Management Association, the notice doesn’t exactly strike us a surprise, but it does tell us not to expect the Supernova maker to splash a comeback any time soon. You’ll find the original email sent to troubled customers right after the break.

Due to this liquidation process any further requests for warranty replacements cannot be honored.

Please be advised that Pandigital, Inc (the ‘Company’), executed a General Assignment for the benefit of its creditors in favor of Credit Management Association on July 13, 2012 (the ‘General Assignment’). A general assignment is a common law means of concluding the affairs of an insolvent debtor as an alternative to the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process. Pandigital is currently in the process of liquidation by the Assignee.

Pandigital shuts down, will not honor existing warranties

Budget tablet maker Pandigital has officially been shut down, and the company’s products are being sold off by liquidators trying to get a fraction of the original value from Pandigital’s remaining assets. Pandigital initially started the sell off over the summer, and are now officially calling it quits.

Current Pandigital tablet owners are a bit out of luck, though, as well. The company has sent out notices to its customers that all warranties on their products are now cancelled. Pandigital has been offering Android tablets and eReaders for a few years now. While Pandigital isn’t a household name, their products tended to be priced much lower than the competition, which made them stand out to some customers.

Pandigital has gained some recognition, though, after they started launching tablets. The company’s product lineup, however, is pretty extensive. Pandigital manufacturered media tablets, eReaders, digital photo frames, digital cameras, internet radios, photo scanners, zero ink printers, digital photo greeting cards, and various accessories.

Pandigital’s products also saw wide distribution. They were available on Amazon, B&H Photo, at Costco, Electronics Expo, Kmart, and RadioShack, just to name a few. While most of the world won’t miss Pandigital, some of its customers will surely be upset when they find out warranties to their devices are no longer valid.

Pandigital Stripped Via Dirt Cheap Tablets

The tablet market is certainly an interesting one, especially when you consider how there are so many players in it right now, especially those who are part of the Android ecosystem. We do have high end models that branch off to mid-range as well as entry level devices, and one can safely say that Pandigital certainly resides somewhere at the bottom of the food chain where tablets and eReaders are concerned. Well, recently, we have seen Pandigital devices make their way onto eBay as well as at other stores with prices that were set to sell under the “impulse purchase” segment – in fact, new and refurbished eReaders were going for less than $50, while there were tablets that retailed for under $70.

This could be because Pandigital declared bankruptcy this summer, and the company’s inventory is currently being sold off by liquidators who intend to recover whatever they can of the original value from Pandigital’s remaining assets, and among these include Android-powered tablets and eReaders. Who do you think in this particular market are right now own on a similar, slippery path that Pandigital is on?
