[QUOTE="Maniac_au, post: 94459, member: 17154"] Hi, from Brisbane, have you used the serial number checker to see when the Spark was made? That will give you a better idea of its age. But not when it was originally purchased. My 1st Spark was built March 2019, also bought 2nd hand but less than 12 hrs from original purchase, which was 26 April it failed within 2 weeks, was replaced by a unit built in May 2019. Bought another one yesterday that was bought new December 2018, so still under warranty, but by Serial Number age sat around for a year before being sold as it was built August 2017. Sending the faulty Spark to Melbourne wasn’t too bad took just over a week I think. But if no warranty cheaper to repair it yourself if you have the skills. I bench diagnosed mine for days with multiple factory resets before finally shipping it in. But knew it would be covered as a faulty unit. A complete Core Board is half the cost on eBay compared to local repair charges. As I was sent an Invoice of parts + labour prices that was waived. The address you mention was where mine went to, they obviously have the means to diagnose faults, but as you say I doubt they will actually be repaired there. The other option may be a paid repair through a closer D1store. Brisbane may be the closest ones. [/QUOTE]
