My second monitor is broken - Are My Human Rights Violated

[minestrone]

It's an old dell 2001fp, good for its time but thinking about upgrading anyway.

Considered going for 3 of them and buying a second hand one from ebay but might just head off into new monitors land and give the surviving one to the pegs.

WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS I ask.

If its Sony and its still under warranty then they will claim that you caused it by physical damage even if it just sat there well looked after and you didn't do what they claim. Sony/Teleplan in Colchester uk are rubbish and blame you and charge you even when the item is under warranty.

But given that its a monitor it probably won't be Sony, I hear that Dell are quite good for getting their stuff replaced under warranty which has failed.

WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS I ask.

Happened to me a few months ago... literally felt as if a limb had been surgically removed from my body.

Finally got around to having a look at it and took the monitor through to the dinning table, set it down and plugged it in.
It switched on instantly.
Must have been a lose power cable as it's been fine ever since
