I would return it as defect, but I know the store where I got it from. I've dealt with them before. Their customer service absolutely sucks. They have a strict : "sold goods are non-refundable/tradable" policy, and it says so on a big sign above the exit. I only go there because they are 20% cheaper than the next competing shop.
Actually I'm beginning to become more and more interrested to find a way to break this protection. Sorta like showing them the finger
If anyone could point me towards some related sites I would be grateful!

Thanks!
