    NOT WITH MY PC BUT HAD A WASHING MACHINE FROM COMET THAT WENT WRONG SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DOOR LATCH HAD TO WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR A "PART"
    WHEN THE REPAIR GUY TURNED UP ONLT CARRYING A BRIEFCASE I THOUGHT THIS MUST BE A SMALL "PART" HE THEN GOT OUT A TUBE OF BOSTIC AND GLUED THE THING BACK TOGETHER PHONED TO COMPLAIN WHEN HE WAS STILL THERE WAS TOLD AS LONG AS IT WORKED WHEN THE GUY LEFT IT WAS AN EFFECTIVE REPAIR. IT LASTED FOR ANOUTHER 3 WEEKS JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR THE YEARS GUARANTEE TO RUN OUT. WHEN ANOUTHER ENGINEER CAN OUT AND PUT ON A NEW DOOR AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME £70. 
    TOLD THEM NO CHANCE QUOTED CONSUMER RIGHTS EXCETRA AND SURPRISE SURPRISE THEY DECIDED NOT TO CHARGE ME AS A "GOODWILL GESTURE" LOL
    IVE WORKED IN HIGH STREET RETAIL FOR 20 YEARS, DONT KEEP ACEPTING REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS THESE ARE USUALLY FAULTY GOOD THAT HAVE BEEN "REFURBISHED" IF YOUR NOT HAPPY, CONTACT TRADING STANDARDS ESPECIALLY THE LEGISLATION ONFIT FOR PURPOSE AND REASONABLE PRODUCT LIFE EXPECTANCY .

    GOOD LUCK AND DONT TAKE ANY C***

    Insist on a replacement with a different but similarly priced model.

    We got our laptop from PCplanet ;) running fine so far. But I don't put games on it etc... so pretty much as new still.
