eel Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I was too quick off the mark in my desire for a component cable, and now I pay the price: the things crapping up on me. It's resulting in a bunch of flickering, mostly black, dots on the screen and when playing strikers or a similarly colorful game it's bleedin' horrible Anybody else got a probelm akin to mines, or could it possible be a bunch of dead pixels on my screen (unlikely as the dots are sporadic, appearing all over the screen, and flicker). I got the cable in Jan, but I doubt have the box or the recept, but I think it might be under game's 1 year warranty er sumthing, so what's the chances they'll allow me to exchange it? Urgent advice needed, as it's seriously busting my balls
Ashley Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 It is under a one year warranty but you'd either need to find a really laxed sales assistant or find your receipt (box isn't important). You pay by card or use a reward card? Because with those you can track your purchases back.
eel Posted June 24, 2007 Author Posted June 24, 2007 Oh yes! It's more than likely I payed using a card. Thanke Ashley
Ashley Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Yeah just dig out the statement for the component cable. Go on a quiet day (because they'll have to ring up head office to verify that the £20 you spent was on the component cable) and be polite. Best you'll get is an exchange though sans 'proper' receipt.
steggy Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 And with no box you'll only be able to exchange it for another Game cable. They'll just take the new one out of the box and stick your broken one in that so they can send it back to head office. I have the same cable, with no box or reciept either so no idea what i'd do if mine broke. I'd probably cut my losses and go for an official one as they're a lot easier to get hold of now.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 That black pixels problem you described sounds exacly like the Wii overheating problem. Does that happen when you use the composite cables that came with the console? You better check this thread: http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?p=483680
eel Posted June 25, 2007 Author Posted June 25, 2007 Oh God NO Wait, question for Ashley; I bought it from game and with a little looking, I should be able to find the receipt. Should I try taking it back to them?

eel Posted June 25, 2007 Author Posted June 25, 2007 Read the rest of the thread....it goes far worse
Ashley Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Oh God NO Wait, question for Ashley; I bought it from game and with a little looking, I should be able to find the receipt. Should I try taking it back to them? If you find a receipt they can do a refund but it depends on who serves you whether they will without a box. Depends what mood they're in really.
eel Posted June 25, 2007 Author Posted June 25, 2007 Ya, I have the box and I'm on quite good terms with the store manager: he was also the one who served me on release day and I had a little talk with him so
Ashley Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Ya, I have the box and I'm on quite good terms with the store manager: he was also the one who served me on release day and I had a little talk with him so You may be on good terms but just a little warning. He could be friendly towards you because he is paid to. But I dunno the whole sitch obviously. Good luck.
eel Posted June 25, 2007 Author Posted June 25, 2007 He's ginger: of course he's lurvely. Anywho, can't find the receipt for the wii but I've got the box and I used my card to pay for it and what-not. I'll be in town tomorrow so I'll just check be forehand in store to see if they'll be able to do anything. Yew make game out to be so seedy
