Laptop Developed a Fault.

mark.jordan@box.co.uk this is the managing director, email him directly explaining everything. Don't forget to state to attach a copy a copy of invoice and the engineer report. Hopefully he should be able to resolve your issue. Had the same issue with PC World , this is how I got it sorted.

was in contact with him already. It is looking like i will have to got to the small claims court

Throw it out the window.

Have a read... seems asus had an issue with a few models which have now been fixed causing overheating somewhat which in turn can damage the motherboard. Do a bit more research as I have read a few things about causes of motherboard failure then put it to Asus. Good luck.

When the warranty has expired it seems to be normal practice for retailers to simply shrug their shoulders and say they cannot do anything. There is no mention of your statutory rights! In these circumstances you need to stand firm and state that the laptop is not of satisfactory quality and you are making a claim for a repair under the Sale of Goods Act and this is nothing to do with the warranty. At this stage, you will probably be talking to the manager or head office. They are likely to ask for an engineers report to prove that the item is faulty, which is reasonably and to be expected. All you need to do is find a local reputable computer repair shop and ask them for a report. Don’t worry they should reimburse you for this. If the laptop is found to be faulty then the retailer should agree to a repair. If they cannot repair the laptop they can offer a replacement or a cash refund taking into account your usage.

If they don’t agree to repair your laptop and it is less than five years since purchase then you will have to take them to the Small Claims Court. This is easier and cheaper than you may think and can be done online.

You were correct to initially contact the retailer. (it is their responsibility not the manufacturer's - they can take it up with the manufacturers.)

This might help:

Contact the retailer's head office: You won't get any joy from youthful shop staff or call centres. Be firm and explain you think your product hasn't lasted a reasonable amount time. You want it to be investigated and repaired, or replaced if it turns out to be faulty.

Personally I would forward them that link when asking for money back, repair or replacement, to let them know I was aware of my rights and making them aware of their responsibilities before commencing legal proceedings.
