Consumer Guarantees Act info regarding faulty ipod

I was thinking worldwide! I'm not going to go in to specifics but I did think carefully before sending the "Submit Reply" button ya know

Well,If I'm wrong I'm quite happy to be smoted.(well, I'd probably carry on regardless, But everyone else will notice)

Linux has had massive exposure and effort put into getting into the domestic desktop market, and failed miserably.Its still used only for specific work applications and by Linux fans. There may be slightly more linux fans due to the efforts over the last couple of years but not enough to make any significant ground swell.

Mac's greatest strength is also its biggest weakness, The package they supply is the package you get, If you want something specific (Like a video editing machine) then you better be prepared to pay, and you better be happy with the "mac difference".

Windows can be used in any and every application anyone can think of, for any budget. Sure it fails miserably in some cases but that's the cost of being everything for everybody. The options aren't infinite but they are insurmountable for the other two platforms.

Just a side thought on the CGA, does it cover motorcycles once the warranty has expired? Cheers

BiK3RChiK - yes it does. If you buy a brand new bike you can expect it to last a reasonable period.

But again - it comes down to what a reasonable person would expect. It is actually covered by a different disputes tribunal - but this one has far greater rights than the normal DT. Well worth it if you have a problem.

No offence Headbanger but you ignorance is really showing through! You obviously don't work in IT.

In my experience - anyone that comes out with a comment like that is almost always a helpdesk or other low end IT bod.

Iv'e had my Ipod for 4 years now its a 40GB second generation Ipod and its still going strong I just leave it going all the time its got about 340 albums on it and just keeps pumping music out through some Logitec speakers in my office at work. so not all Ipods crap out.

Where did ya nik it fro ya scally.... I went Creative 6 years ago, 20GB portable brick, fell out of my pocket doing 50, stamped on, kids have abused it to death, been though the washing machine... and works almost flawlessly...

Like the man says, get a different brand...

Unless they class the parts in question as wear and tear items!!!!

Somehow I don't think the clutch housing case counts as parts wear and tear after just 18 months and 10,000k's... Will be looking into it if they don't come to the party.

How long is a reasonable amount of time for a tv to last? Ours just caught fire, only 5 years old.
Edit. It's broken previously too, but the store refused to fix it. Had to call in insurance.

There has been a precedent set in regards to a lot of consumer electronics... it is not unreasonable to expect a TV to last 5 years... have at em.

Lol at expecting Noel Leeming to *ever* honour the CGA without a fight. I had a two month battle with them trying to get Rock Band replaced after one day of owning it. They even quoted 'water damage' too....pack of wankers.

On the Ipod front, I've had 3 ipods, and 2 have failed (2nd and 3rd generation). The gf has had two as well, 5th generation video, that failed and now she has an itouch. To be fair, most of the time it's a hard drive failure, and hopefully the SSD tech will reduce failures a bit.

At the end of the day it's all Chinese crap - still, if something failed a few months out of warranty (that is, if the warranty is only a year for A $500+ product) I'd expect the manufacturer to come to the party. You don't buy a piece of equipment for that price and expect it to last only a year...

CAn you post them up here Tank? Might be of interest to others too.

We also found out that the warranty is over by about 7 weeks, so our first recourse will be the bike shop.
