Hi there, I'm a newbie to this site and would like some advise please. A Dell Inspiron laptop was purchased from Tesco.com in November 2011 for my mother and was put onto my nan's credit card. It was bought to give my disabled mother a link to the outside world and a way of making new friends and interests. Approximately 3 weeks ago it refused to come on and emitted a certain number of beeps - in this case, 7 which indicates processor failure. Sadly, the warranty expired in November 2012 so the laptop is not covered by either Tesco or Dell. I intend to contact Dell and raise issue with the fact that an expensive laptop has gone fatally wrong after 18 months of very light use and as such was not fit for purpose. I am aware that goods have a certain 'reasonable time' in which to go wrong and am unsure of how long a laptop is meant to last but I think 18 months for a well-known brand laptop is rather poor. Can anyone give me any advise on how to proceed? Failure is not an option, I will hound them until they give in but need to know the correct information to quote at them. Many thanks in advance, Kat -
Looking for a bit of advice... Our £430 dishwasher has developed a fault after 1 day less than 2 years old. I contacted Comet and agreed to have the machine inspected at a cost to us of £69 (£59 callout + £10 SoGA fee). The engineer called today and said the machine was faulty and requires a new pump at a cost of £115.22. Due to the age of the machine they have offered to discount the part to £34.58 (70%) which would bring the total cost of repair to £103.58 (call out + parts) The standard repair charge for items out of waranty is £125 which includes a parts allowance of up to £150. Am I being unreasoanble to to expect that I should not have to pay anything toward the cost of repair? I dont think I am as surely (IMO) a dishwasher should be reasonably expected to last longer than 2 years especially as theres only 2 of us in the house and its only been on, on average 3-4 times a week. What can I do from here? thanks for reading.
