    Not fully read that, but from what I remember, you get a 12 month warranty in UK. If, it can be prooven that a defective part or material etc caused your product to fail within 24 months, then you would have a case. However, in this case, it has been stated that you would need to remove the battery itself for the item to become defective. If you do this, then you will be the person who caused the fault, and so it is your problem...

    just a few keypoints from that the title to start with

    Code:
    A little-known EU directive is making shoppers feel like they have extra ammunition to return faulty goods for up to two years. It's not quite that simple. Read our guide to see if it can help you.
    then the third paragraph

    Code:
    However, as this is a directive is only partially adopted by the UK, its use is a grey area.

    Hi everybody, any solution to this annoying issue? I have the new Xtrend ET9200 with the glue, however it has been running for the past 3 years, so I was wondering when should I risk the replacement with the above mentioned method, or even better is there a software solution for this annoying issue?

    Many thanks to all and happy holidays to everybody.

    Bought my ET9000 back in 2011 and never got around to using it. 4 years later I just plugged it in and it works fine. Pretty good battery then ;-)

    Nothing you can do, it will kill the receiver.

    So 2016 now & no solution to this still i see.. Surprise surprise, xtrend fobbed us all off with B.S.. and we fell for it

    My Extrend 9000 PSu failed this week (sat dead wouldnt boot) which was luckily an easy fix, this now makes me think it will down to us owners to also come up with a solution for the battery change.
    Im changing my battery shortly before it dies & the box is dead. Ill connect an external 3v supply to the board & then change the cell, but this obviously isnt an ideal solution for Etrend owners.

    Well the et9000 has certainly been around since 2010 which in todays world is pretty good going, and although I certainly think my old ET9200 was one of my best receivers, they are really old technology compared to todays boxes.
    When I look in my loft at some of the latest greatest brands that are now,junk, the older Xtrend ET9x00 boxes have done pretty well

    You could have bought a VU+ Duo and died from red light issue by now. Or Duo2 with white light issue, any other brand of receiver with some other failure.... its done damn well, 5-6 years old!

    Too bad if technology can only last so short
    Pretty sure this is all premeditated, forcing to buy new stuff.
    Good, dearly bought devices, full of rare materials: suddenly it's all waste.....

    I got a Panasonic plasma, cost approx £1200.00, just got to approx 6 years old and IR receiver on it is virtually stuffed. Not worth the repair bill to have it repaired, will be in the junk yard next.

    Well, no ...... There some well documented articles where companies like Apple are stripping out the rare elements. My wife runs a trade association for some of the mining and fabrication companies and they now work really hard to reclaim these metals.
    In fact I can remember (in the days I still worked ) phone calls from companies who had picked up some of our old technology modules asking how they extracted the gold off the chips (and Yes, it was worth doing )
