laptop power supply not working after 22 days

I've tried ringing Argos all day but my local store do not seem to bother answering the phone - GRRR

On 6th April I bought a 10" Zoostorm mini laptop for £200.

The laptop itself is fine, but now the plug-in power supply cable thingie is broken and doesn't work.

Do you think Argos will give me a power supply from another laptop (if they have any in stock) or would I have to return the whole laptop (I'd rather not have to)

Thanks if anyone can help

    I'd doubt it. What they'll probably try and do is return the power supply back to the manufacturer and wait for a new one to be sent out. However, you could try claiming that you are still withing a reasonable period to reject the laptop outright under the Sale of Goods Act for either a full refund or alternatively a complete replacement, but I'd do so quickly as time is running out for that.
