However i got impatient and tried to hard wire it in by choping off then end of the lead and attaching the two terminals to the correct terminals of the cigarette lighter, however when i went to switch it on i got nothing, now it wont work even on batteries? have i killed it? is it fixable?
And to top it all off i got lost on my way to work this morning!!

Just to update you chaps, i took my dead I3 to PC World and pleaded ignorance to the girl in the help desk, must have worked, as she replaced it for me there and then, no questions asked, also as ithe unit was "pre-owned" (meaning some one had bought it and not liked it) she also refunded me £40?

So at £159.99 does that make my I3 the cheapest on the block?

A narrow escape for me!

You may consider your actions to be a "narrow escape" - I see it plain and simple theft! you are no better than a shoplifter - you had no entitlement to a replacement having been negligent with the original unit you voided your warranty and should have taken it on the chin instead of defrauding the store....shame on you

it will be interesting when they open the box and see it blatently damaged. most stores when you return items ask for name, address etc etc so they could quite easily trace you...

it may not be theft but it could easily be classed as fraud.

thank you for that dictionary definition - it goes to reinforce my point - you did not pay for the second I3 - you paid for the first one which you negligently wrecked. As you had done this the warranty was voided so you fraudulently obtained another from the supplier. You do not intend to give it back to them so therefore you fullfill the deifinition of theft exactly.

ZOGMAN - well done; - I am in law enforcement hence the username...you don't miss much do you??

So newbie - having dug yourself another hole by laying out the definition of theft for everyone to see I dont see how you can deny your actions..as I said you are no better than a shoplifter...end of story.....

Theft is not a small insignificant problem - you have a strange point of view??

I am still fuzzy about how you aportion it as theft? the item was broken, i asked for a replacement, job done! I am simply infoming the other members of this forum about the exchange policy practised within PC World. I dont see it as theft at all

You are just renforcing the public misconception (although not in your case it would seem) that the Police Force just go about blindly enforcing rules that criminalise the vast majority of average joes, with a name like Plod999 (thats says it all!!) you should be trying to enhance the public image of the force, or are you one of these desk jockeys who has "lost touch" with reality?

Now i suggest you go and take a cool shower!

you really don't see it do you...the item wasn't broken..you broke it!! it just goes to show your mentality doesn't it - you break something through your own stupidness and then expect that the supplier should replace it..as you can't go into the shop and be honest you resort to fraudulent behaviour resulting in theft...no matter how you dress this up and no matter how many times you try to justify it - in the eyes of the law you are wrong very wrong...this isnt a case of you opening the box and it not working - you fully admit to blowing the thing up YOURSELF - I haven't got anymore to say on this subject as its going in circles with you trying to justify your wrongful, shameful behaviour...based on what you have said in this forum you are a thief.
