Crapple

[NozSpark]

My daughter has been on a school trip to a north Midlands theme park.... Her iPod has got wet and isn't currently working correctly and her iPhone 5 is stuck in the boot loader...well it's just got past that after going on charge but has gone extremely laggy to an extent that it no longer works

:slap

sorry,

but the only constructive input I would have is she has got them almost fixed,,,,,,,,,,,

SWMBO's ipod has broken down (again)

She was talking about paying megga bucks for a new one, as for some reason she thinks it's the dogs danglies.

That was until I pointed out to her that her smart phone has a music player, so now her music is on that. 

Fantastic.  No need to pay £££ for another crapple product, and even more fantastic, it's not crippled to a silly itunes program. you can just drag and drop your musing into the music folder using any file manager program and organise your stuff in albums etc, and of course copy it back again should you want to.  Nice and simple, how it should be.

Apparently the phone is now working... However the iPod (3rd gen) "wheel" isn't working quite correctly and there is moisture behind the screen..

Hopefully a day or two in the airing cupboard will sort it out... Also a couple of days of not being able to use it will teach my daughter the need to look after things better. Apparently she had it in her bag that got soaked on the log flume... Ziploc bags next time me thinks

Try the old trick of placing the phone in a bag with a cup of rice. Rice absorbs the water apparently:

I can vouch for the rice method after my sister had an incident involving my 18 month old nephew, her iPhone 5 and a bath.

A couple of days in rice and all is working nicely

My wife's Iphone 5 stopped working 6 days after the warranty ran out. Apple want stupid money to look at it.

 

[NozSpark]

It all seems to be working fine now

The thing is though that if she had anything other than a grapple phone then we would get a next working day replacement phone, but because it a grapple we'd have to go through them for any warranty issues.... No matter what she will not be getting another crapple phone while I'm paying for it

Wait for,our resident legal beaver to be on....been busy with some Australian beardy bloke apparently!

I am sure there is some legal precedent regarding sale of goods/fit for purpose/reasonable use/expected life or some such litigious twaddle, that means that you still have some comeback after the warranty ends, or summat like that

 

[NozSpark]

That would be the sale of goods act,,, but can they weedle out of it by saying that the handset was free so long as you take this particular contract out?
