Hi, wonder if anyone can helpme? I've bought a ex-demo samsung galaxy tab3 and I cannot deactivate the demo mode. Has anyone done this, and if so, could they help me? Many thanks.

Apparently I've been sold a demo mode model which cannot be unlocked! Sainsbury's (where I bought it) say they will give me a refund, but as it was bought on such a good offer, I just hope I get the full amount back in order to buy one elsewhere! It was on sale for £135 (reduced from £199), and I used the double up points offer (£40) and because it was the display model I got another 10% off, bring the amount paid down to £85. A bargain - or perhaps not! We shall have to wait and see. :cool:

I've seen one on Amazon for £135, which I may go for if I can get the whole of my money back, which hopefully will include the £40 points offer.

Sometimes the money saving I work on can go awry!!!:(:(

Well, full marks for Sainsbury's. I took the tablet back yesterday, they refunded the £85 I paid for it, gave me the £40 from the double up points I used, plus £5 for any inconvenience caused. I didn't get the 10% discount, but all in all I'm pretty pleased with how that turned out.

I've now ordered a new one so will luck, we'll have no problems with that. Fingers crossed!!
