i am soooo annoyed.
I have had 4 dvd players from richersounds they keep going faulty.
the first i had worked okay for about a week, then started skipping.
I got a replacement which was water damaged and skipped bigtime.
they gave me a loan machine, or i could keep it. a lg logix 3000
Huge ugly and has macrovision on. I got another himage only to find that damaged aswell , it skips and sqeaks. But I want a himage , I cant afford anything that does what the himage does.
on top of that I had to get 3 replacement vcrs.
and on top of that, my nokia 7110 broke i sent it off to be repaired, than it broke again and My dreamcast broke.

can it get any worse.

Only thing you can to mate is complain to the people you purchased it from.. or go to trading standards...

Did you purchase your goods on the VISA card.... because this gives you some guarantee on goods purchases....

Some people snuff the scan sc-2000 dvd player.. but its only £175 and plays MP3 DVD VCD SVCD CD-RW CD-R and is firmware upgradable.

Can disable macrovision on scan.. latest firmware version is 2.14

P.S. Do you have a stable power supply in your house ? i.e. No Spikes or surges which pop the chips out of your equipment. ?

No its just very bad luck.
Richer sounds have been very helpful but I am young And i am starting to get fed up of paying £3.50 every time I need to take something back.
trading standards are useless anyway, I bought a gameboy game mail order over a year ago and I still havent got any kind of compensation for the money I spent(they took the game away)

Listen mate why not get your money back from richer sounds....i did i had probs with the himage too!....They will give you a full refund after so many problems.
Then take your money to Tescos and purchase a Wharfedale 750s for £99
hope this helps!
