Strange question you might think, but here's the deal.
My brand new X5 arrived just 2 weeks ago, and has quite simply performed fabulously until yesterday when it was dropped from waist height onto a kitchen lino covered floor.
There was a flicker then fade out... after much fiddling with removing cap, small knocks, I got it back alight but very dim only just viewable which is how it stayed for the rest of the night. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
While in shock that it could break so easily, I put it on the side carefully intending to send it back today.. but on waking up and turning the cap, it seems fine again..
So, is my X5 broken or not.. I can't have it failing at the smallest knock, not even for 12 hours, I spent fairly serious money for a reason - should I accept this as just one of those things until it happens again, or should I be sending it back and try to convince them its faulty when it clearly lights up ok at the moment.
Being within 30 days of purchase in the uk, a item would normally be replaced if proved to be faulty but after 30 days we are into repair..
Any thoughts?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
