“Bought from Argos just as they came out - nearly 3...”

written by binfer on 24/05/2011

Bought from Argos just as they came out - nearly 3 years ago. Its suddenly decided not to boot up. after a bit of detective work trawling the net for answers I found there were quite a few people with the same problem.

Apparently some of the capacitors inside are cheap rubbish that are designed to fail after the 2 year warranty runs out. I seem to be one of the lucky ones that got nearly 3 years out of it.

Emailed tech support at Humax and its a chargeable repair - £84. I'm assuming the capacitors will be replaced with the same cheap ones so I'll not bother. £150 for the box and an £84 repair every 2-3 years is unacceptable. Another quality product ruined by skimping on the component costs - AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. Apparently Thompson do the same!
