ds lite broke does any1 work in argos???

[bargainsneeded]

ds lite has stopped working in a fashion, turns on etc but top screen started with a blob in corner 2 days ago and slowly has progresses to full top screen covered by lines and blobby type, was bought on boxing day and am guted, do have reciept what can i do if anything? will they change it will they repair it? is it a common fault, ds has been well cared for so am totally gutted.:(

If bought on Boxing Day just gone and you've got the receipt then you don't have anything to worry about!! Please just return it to Argos and ask for a replacement. As it is only 2 months old you don't have to accept a repair as the DS was not fit for the purpose you bought it for. They might tell you to send it to Nintendo but you don't have to - your contract under Sale of Goods Act is with the store - not the supplier so stand your ground. However I think/hope this warning is un-necessary as Argos are usually really good with faulty items.

well im bothered really cos the reciept states 30 day guarentee etc and this isnt under th 30 day guarentee blah blah, but on the internet it says i must of cracked it dropped it etc but i really havent so they may or can they demand it get sent off for repair and is their anywhere it states bout they have to replace etc im not too good at arguing i get hot and bothered am totally gutted:(

Just an idea but do you know someone who would be willing to take it back for you as you feel flustered? I've had to take numerous things back to Argos for myself and others and must say they've always been fine.
One of these was an MP3 player which should have had lots of memory and didnt.Got someone more techy to try it and still faulty.By then 30 days guar had well lapsed.No problem to Argos-explained and they exchanged for the nearest available model (£5 dearer one but not charged it:D)New one still works perfectly:)

i rang argos to see how the land lies they said with ds they send off for repair only wont replace unless nintendo write back and say cant be repaired, gutted abit as will always feel got a dodgy item but i said well under the sale of goods act 1979 you have to repair within reasonable time scale yes h said we will i said how long he didnt answer at first and then said 16 working days, soon pass i spose.
