"What happened?!" | |
Getting service | Support Files |
Micro International closed sometime around March 1999. I was an employee of the company between the years of 1992-1997. When I left, I started a network consulting and web design company which has grown and expanded into Dynamis. Eventually, Micro International became one of my web design customers. As a result, I have a [somewhat out of date] copy of their support pages which I have posted here in hopes that it will help someone.
Note: I was never an officer of the company, nor can I help you locate anyone who was, nor do I have any idea why they closed. I was under the impression that they had effectively downsized and were doing fine.
Got a minute? Read this to discover the meaning of life.
I have managed to determine some of Micro International's U.S. sources for the notebook models they sold between 1990 and 1999, which may help some of you obtain warranty service:

If you have one of these notebooks and need service, I suggest calling
the source company where possible and attempting to obtain warranty
service from them based on your serial #. Several of my friends who purchased
notebooks from Micro International have successfully obtained warranty
service in that manner.
What I was able to dig up from my Micro International
tech support website archives.
