Help needed with faulty phone.

I got a contract phone from the carphone warehouse in May this year. The phone has now broken for the fourth time. The previous three times I have had to take the phone into a shop in town too be fixed. This costs £8 each time to park and takes approximately 3 hours, I then have to go and collect the phone when it is fixed. I have contacted the carphone warehouse, by email, phone and letter to see if they can send a replacement phone as I do not want to have to go again to get this phone fixed. I have had no reply from them at all. What else can I do :confused:

    What phone?

    Do you know what the problem is?
  • It is a Samsung D840. You turn the phone on and the screen is just white, it has had this fault before which was fixed but now it's broken again :confused:

  • Sound like you need to go to a different shop to get it fixed - one that can replace the ribbon connector properly

  • I've been told in their shops that if they've tried and failed a repair 3 times they arrange a replacement (refurbished) - and they've done that even when it's only been repaired once or twice with minie. A sympathetic person in the right branch should be able to sort that out for you - you may also persuade them to have the replacement sent to your home rather than the shop, though you'll have to take the faulty one in there first.
