    as suggested, do some searches

    try to do this before posting

    we have atleast 3-4 laptop broke blah blah blah help posts per day

    half of which are dsgi

    it helps if you searched these, pick up as much info on soga as possible then came back to this thread to finesse your understanding

    sorry if i seem rude, i dont mean it in a harsh way but imagine what its like writing out the same detailed info to everybody who posts this....


    consumer direct will be a good helper of yours:)

    mont likely 3000,6000 or 9000 series .......

    soga = Sale of goods act...perhaps?....google is your friend? 30 mins is not a lot of time to spend searching on here.

    i apologise "the sales of goods act" = soga

    as for searches "faulty laptop returns 300 reults" at least 4 on the first page are directly applicable to your situation ie you can take the advice and links as if it were given to you (obvs with the odd word and detail differentiating) all the rest may have bits applicable to you


    http://www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/consumers/fact-sheets/page38311.html


    that has most the stuff people will tell you


    just construct a letter (worth consumer directs help if you wish) stating you wish to reject your laptop as "not fit for purpose", not"of satisfactory quality" and not "durable"

    state that this act entitles you too repair/replacement/refund (you cannot decide) and that you feel the repair has been exhausted as the problem continues to persist, and so you are requesting another solution either replacement or refund which ever is more viable.

    be warned though

    the retailer is allowed to chose to give you a partial refund(deducting usage of laptop)

    My advice is to try to put together full sentences.
