trade desciptions act... 'not fit for purpose'

However the shop will probably ask that you give it to them to check, in whch case be sure you know the serial number before you let them test it..

I would start by talking to sitecoms tech support service first and see what they recommend... make notes of what they say and if you go back to maplins you will be armed with the info they may try and bluff you off with. Not had to take anyhitng back to them myself so I am not sure of how they handle returns... But you can say that you are not satisfied with it and demand a refund... Remember the law states that your contract is with the seller and not the manufacturer... but never be fobbed off by any seller...

Read the trading standards website mate, google is your friend...
