You say your goods may be in warranty? then you shouldn't consider trying to repair it yourself.
You are generally covered by a 12 month warranty from whoever you originally bought your goods from, your initial contract is with them so you should take the fault up with them, not everybody is aware that your goods can be covered for upto 6 years.
Depending on how far into the warranty period your goods are then the Sale Of Goods Act will advise you of how you approach the matter.
