Venturer PS166W Portable.....Argos blah !

Ted bear (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Sunday, 9th November 2003, 06:56

I have just purchased the Venturer PS166W and I am very happy with it given the price.
But I would like to purchase a spare battery for the unit, the instruction book doesn`t show ANY contact information for the manufacturers and Argos where I bought the unit are being about as much help as a chocolate tea pot !
Can anyone point me in the right direction to be able to purchase a spare battery for this unit ?

Kind Regards......Ted

Hi ted, im thinking of purchasing a venturer, the one from argos and wanted to get yur opinion on if it was a good deal and if you think it`s value for money. Please anyone tell me what they think. And have u tried the hacker for the multi region. If so, does it work.

Thanks, Daniel

Daniel,

I bought the DVD portable last week at Argos.
It`s great - in fact one thing that the catalogue doesn`t tell you is that the carrying case converts to an in-car mount which hangs on the head rest in your car!

The spare batteries are available if you ring 01302 872207.
I think they are out of stock at the moment, but should be ready in a couple of weeks.
