I would like some advice please.
I purchased a HP all in one PC in October 2012 and it was perfect and did everything I needed it to do.
However in the beginning of October 2013 (whilst it was still under the manufacturers warranty) the screen was accidently chipped by one of my children. (this was not covered by the manufacturers guarantee as it was accidental damage).
I took it into the Store and I was told it would cost about £200 at the most to repair it so I sent it away to be repaired with the Knowhow team and said to them if it was going to cost anymore to phone me and advise me of this BEFORE they did any of the repairs and to ONLY REPAIR THE SCREEN AND NOT TO TOUCH ANY OF THE HARD/SOFTWARE ON THE COMPUTER. I was told this would not be a problem and they would call me when it was ready to be collected.
When I did not hear from them about my PC being returned to me I Phoned the Knowhow team and asked them what had happened with it:
Whilst it was there the engineer looked at the screen and knew it would cost : Screen £547, Connector cable £48 and the hard drive £31 with a total of £616. to repair it and did not phone me to tell me of this So my screen was taken off my PC and "tossed in the trash" and a new one was put on without my consent not only this they was going to replace a connector cable and hard drive that when the left my possession had nothing wrong with them and they was told not to touch.
I told them I wanted MY screen put back on and the PC returned to the store immediately for collection.
When it arrived back to the store and I went to collect it I and the Colleague that booked in the PC for repair (Sam) noticed that the screen had 2 large cracks down the front of it that was not there when it left.
Sam then phoned the Knowhow service centre and asked them what they was going to do about it and they Verbally told him that they was liable for the damage and they would repair it FREE OF CHARGE. And whilst it was there the connector cable and the hard drive would be replaced because they were still under the warranty).
So it was packaged back up and sent back off to the repair centre.
A week later i got a call from the guy (Sam) in the store to say the PC was back but it had not been repaired as the damage had happened in transit and if I wanted it repaired I would have to pay for it.
Since the beginning of November 2013 my PC has been at the store damaged and nobody will repair or replace it when I was told they would (I have not collected it because I know if I remove it from the store I will be told the damage happened in my care after it left the store).
Please can someone help me with what to do as I want my PC repaired by Knowhow free of charge like they said they would or a replacement one because they damaged it.
This has been going on for over 9 months and I do not know where to turn next.
