not at all the soga covers you for 6 yrs and i proved in was a manfac issue by providing report no luck involved

Yes it covers you but not for a refund, it covers you for the retailer to repair or replace or refund at whichever is cheapest for them.

99.9999999999% of the times a refund is not given because it is the most expensive thing that the retailer can do.

Or bake it in a solder "oven" for half an hour?

Besides YLOD is a generic fault code that relates to ANY (or most) hardware faults bar the HDD so people say its a common issue but its really not, its any and every issue with one light (as opposed to RROD always relating to the same specific issue)

Bottom line - something costing a couple of hundred quid, used normally but fails within the first few years is not fit for purpose

Nail them!

Nail them how? The OP can just get an independant report stating what was wrong with it and get it fixed.

I had an meile washing machine that developed a very expensive fault around 16 months after I had bought it , I was advised that the soga required goods to be guarenteed for a ''reasonable'' amount of time , and when I quoted this to meile they fixed the machine foc
