Hello Hamousger, Well, 83C isn't too bad, I have seen much worse. The problem is that as long as your laptop is working then it is impossible to check for the defect. Your laptop needs to have failed in order for me to be able to test and then to be able to definitively state that your laptop is inh...

Hello Hamousher and welcome to our forum. The customer service person then said that someone would call me next week. That ended the first contact with curry's, which did not seem very helpful. Will post again if they ring next week. Well, to be fair, they haven't continued to push the offer of a re...

Hello, Well, only you can decide whether it is worth pursuing for £180. At the end of the day you currently have a broken laptop that is worth only what you can get for it for scrap. I personally would pursue it but this is a decision that only you can make. Best wishes Paul The Admin Team

Well, I sent the first letter last Wednesday and, so far, no response. The letter was delivered on 18th August and, if I count working days, the seven days runs out on Friday. It's even disappointing that the retailers can't be bothered to write back and try to fob me off! I'm not sure what to do ab...

Hello Jordan, It would be good to know the serial number of the three laptops to see if they ran sequentially. The chances are these laptops were all made at the same time and if the serial numbers are pretty similar then that could point to a whole production run being affected. I know for a fact t...

Hello Knguyen and welcome to our forum. Sorry to hear of the problems you have been experiencing with your laptop. I would contact Ebuyer and tell them that you believe that your laptop has a manufacturing defect and that you want either a refund or a replacement laptop. They may tell you that you a...
