I don't understand.

You bought it from Argos right?

Then which manufacturer you want to SE


RE: need some advice - zadam96 - 05-11-2018

yeah it was purchased through argos, but its a seagate external hard drive.


RE: need some advice - Scorpio - 05-11-2018

Well ou can try to contact Seagate directly:

https://www.seagate.com/support/warranty-and-replacements/ecommerce-terms/

But you'll need to box them I think


RE: need some advice - zadam96 - 05-11-2018

thanks i will contact them and see what they say ill try to get around boxing them as ive never done that before, ( any tips for boxing )

thanks for your help lad

Use an excuse then why you can't send the product back (avoid blood or something, doesn't work)

In the process of formulating your method, also use a sympathetic approach by saying you've lost Irreplaceable (sentimental) Images and critical credentials due to the corruption of the HDD.

Getting the company/representative to empathize with you, Increases the likely hood of a successful SE by a much greater margin.
