Contact your local Trading Standards and ask them what applies to you in this case.  Then detail everything in a letter to Dabs and send it recorded delivery to them.  TS will advise you to do this and what to put in the letter.  Dont stick it in with the monitor.  That way if Dabs continue to mess you around you have a paper record of what happened when.

You may be best writing to the CEO or MD of Dabs, he wont see it but unless Dabs are now a really dodgy place there will be someone dealing with written complaints.  If they do nothing and deny receiving the letter, you have proof of delivery to prove they had it delivered.  Its their problem, not yours.

Quote from: MustangGTbut funnily enough i discovered yet another ridiclous sign of previous usage, when i lifted the rear panel to have a look at the connections, written across the underside in HUGE text was some sort of date 16/02/06 in bloody wax crayon or yellow pencil, along with a cheaply printed sticker labelled Feb 2006 stuck dead in the center...

Photograph it as evidence too if you have a camera, just in case.

TBH I haventdealt with Dabs but was stung by ebuyer before the law changed on returns, had some difficulty sorting that out so havent done any business with them since.

Thanks for that information Deaths and Serious.

Im going to photo it all now before it gets picked up. Will take some time to write the letter too and contact TS. Didnt think this would be needed, but when you think about it whats stopping them for kippering me further? Id rather it ended immediately.!

Thanks alot guys

Just thought id let you guys know, dabs refunded the Ã,£207 this morning. And id like to thank you all for gving me the courage to stick it through without crumbling, like i would have done normally

Im now back to where i started, and deciding where to buy from next, as i want the same lcd.

Dabs again? lol

tbh ive had no problems with Aria.   After i got an Aspire X-Pack with a faulty PSU i got in contact with them, they got back to me straight away.  Swapped out the case with no hassle and questions.  

Ive bought quite a few of the cheapy LCDs fomr them, and while they arent the best ive come accross, they are better than many others ive used.
