Hi Stephen,
Sorry to hear of the failure of your "abacus", not a pleasant thing to happen.
You use the word "maximum" repair price, so what is the repair price for your fault; have you had a repair "estimate"??
If it's actually £400, then you may consider what it's S/H (sorry, preowned) value is, when it has been repaired and you wish to sell it.
You say it is 18 months old, which means it is probably 3 years old in technology terms, so if it was mine I would do one of the following:
1. See a mate who knows "all about nothing" and get him to check it out, , can sort it for £75 no probs.
2. Buy new , bigger and better, faster and more beads on the abacus.
I would NOT go with a £400 repair on a replacement £550 model, I would buy new.
regards Subzero
