warranties—Compaq, for instance, placed numerous stickers on boxes of their refurbished hardware indicating this status. Attorneys general across 12 states launched investigations into Packard Bell in June 1995; the following month, Packard Bell settled nine class-action suits in three states, including California, providing reimbursement in the form of $ 50 worth of repairs for free in the short term, establishing a $ 1-million fund for monetary reimbursement in the long term, and changing its warranty policy. Packard Bell eventually paid $ 5 million to 22 states to settle the issue in September 1996. Packard Bell countersued Compaq in October 1995, citing "unfair competition and defamation". They settled out of court in February 1996, after Compaq themselves were facing heat from multiple states for their own refurbishment practices.
441:, sales representatives, or specialized computer stores. While the established name-brand PC vendors were reluctant to sell their systems at these types of retailers in favor of cultivating lucrative service contracts with their customers, the percentage of PCs sold through mass market retailers rose threefold between 1987 and 1992—from 4 percent to 12 percent—with Packard Bell dominating within this niche. Within less than three years of the company's incorporation, Packard Bell saw an annual sales figure of US$ 600 million in 1989. Even amid the early 1990s recession, annual sales in 1991 grew to US$ 700 million. Sales were helped along by Packard Bell's penetration into new markets—such as 584:—the epicenter of which was located just a few blocks from their six-building complex—grinding operations to a halt and putting 1,500 employees temporarily out of work. Buckling racks destroyed factory equipment and inventory, while the reactivation of municipal water activated sprinklers and caused substantial water damage, destroying much of the company's paperwork. A week after the earthquake, its sales offices and part of its production operations were moved to a 160,000-square-foot complex in Westlake Village, California, on an interim basis. The company later relocated its operations to a new headquarter complex in Sacramento (the former property of the 605:. Packard Bell's reliance on retail also imparted a large rate of return on their products, due to the unqualified return and exchange policies most of Packard Bell's retail partners afforded their customers. In 1991 alone, the company deducted $ 143 million in customer returns on $ 819 million in gross sales that year. By the end of 1995, Packard Bell saw their profit drop, and they dropped to the number two spot in American PC market share, behind Compaq. The company's reputation around this time was also beginning to be marred by quality control issues and subpar customer service. 522:
make inroads. After netting $ 100 million in sales to Europe in 1992 (10 percent of the company's global sales), Packard Bell constructed a 75,000-square-foot building in the Netherlands and hired 250 workers in the country, including a diverse remote customer service team providing technical support in 12 different languages. By 1993, Packard Bell's products were stocked in 1,500 retail locations across 13 countries, and by 1994, the company was selling 2.1 million product units per year, doubling their previous year's output.
396:, while providing novices basic software to get a running start on the PC paradigm. The hard drives of Packard Bell's low-end line-up of computers were larger than the competition's hard-drive-equipped offerings, at 40 MB, while sold at a lower price. Packard Bell was one of the first PC vendors to offer systems with both 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch floppy disk drives, providing a bridge to the newer 3.5-inch floppy format—the use of which in the PC world was being accelerated by 629:
computer systems under both NEC and Packard Bell faceplates. For a brief period, Packard Bell NEC was the largest PC manufacturer, in terms of units shipped, in the United States, with 15 percent of market share; it was also the third largest PC vendor in the world in terms of sales at the end of 1996. However, Compaq overtook the number one spot from Packard Bell NEC in early 1997, at which point the latter fell behind Apple in retail sales to the number three spot.

Alagem, fascinated by Packard Bell's history as a once-beloved consumer electronics brand, bartered Teledyne for the rights to the trademark for just under $ 100,000. Alagem later found that brand recognition for Packard Bell was at 70 percent, among a random sampling of adults in the United States. 293: 265: 45: 2840: 2358: 636:, along with continued poor showings in consumer satisfaction surveys made it difficult for the company to remain profitable and led to Alagem's departure in 1998. In 1999, NEC began withdrawing the Packard Bell name from the American market, while keeping it in Europe, where the brand was untainted by allegations of substandard quality. By 2003, Packard Bell had offices in 24 countries—none in the United States. 385:
tag for the system, as well as the founders' shared knowledge of marketing and merchandising learned from their electronics vending businesses. In selling the computer they developed three core strategies: equipping their computer systems with various value-adds while selling the complete bundle at a low cost, leaning on the history of the Packard Bell name, and vending the computers at mass retailers.
364:, the three businessmen decided they wanted in and reincorporated Cal Circuit Abco as Packard Bell Electronics in 1986, after Alagem had bought the Packard Bell name from Teledyne. The three leveraged their business connections with Asian electronics companies formed through Cal Circuit Abco to contract the production of an IBM PC clone. They settled on several companies, most prominently 352:. Together, they founded a semiconductor distribution company. In 1983, they merged with another electronics supplier owned by Sandel to form Cal Circuit Abco, Inc., in Woodland Hills, California. Cal Circuit Abco sold computer peripherals on top of semiconductor and had generated over $ 500 million in annual revenues by 1985. Seeing the increasing commodification of the 279: 2852: 2530: 665:

Acer later arranged their marketing strategy so that Gateway products were sold in the Americas and Asia, while Packard Bell products were sold in Africa, Europe and the Middle East; Acer-branded products meanwhile were sold worldwide.
