Tesco's would be a good place to buy from as my OH could get staff discount.

Ditto !



Good with returns too.

Sales of Goods still say that your laptop should last longer than 1 yr. So get Tosh to look at it. They will know whether is Coke or wine damage to it being substandard.

Somebody mentioned this to me in the other topic, thing is it was the first I had heard of it, and my Dad and OH have already been inside of it when we knew the warranty had run out.

Then you've invalidated the warranty anyway, not sure how that would affect any residual SOGA protection.

Opening a computer up does not magically void its warranty.

Anyhow, if the warranty already ran out, then surely it's not possible to invalidate it?

Yeah, the warranty had already ran out otherwise we wouldn't have touched it.

If you've had bad laptops in the past then please buy anywhere but PCW...

I'm now online on my phone as my laptops totally dead.

As a family we hate pc world, but it does seem a good deal, though I know nothing at all.

It may be a good deal when you buy it. It's a very bad deal when something goes wrong and you try and get even a modicum of after sales service.
