v3 suresignal not working

No lights on my sure signal, power appears to be gone but can still plug items into it and they run fine. When it stopped working it tripped the power in the house but this was during the night so not because of anything that was done to it. There were no other electrical items plugged into it at the time.

Hi

REMOVE THIS DEVICE FROM THE MAINS IMMEDIATELY. IF IT HAS FAILED WITH THE LIGHTS OUT THEN THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE INTERNAL COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY HEAT AND LEAVING IT CONNECTED IS A FIRE RISK !!

Please read my post here

https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Vodafone-Sure-Signal/Suresignal-V3-Overheated-Hot-Burnt-out-amp-Dead...

Report the failure to Consumer Direct on 0345 4040506 who will register it with Trading Standards who are currently collecting information on these devices and the way they are failing.

Contact me if you have any problems and if possible I would like to have a report carried out on your unit if you'd be willing to send it to me?

Private message me for details...

The pass through socket will still work as it is hard wired internally but even so the the circuit board will be heat damaged and is not safe.

It is important to report all failed SureSignal V3 using the links below to:

Thanks for your message, I had already removed it but good to know more info about how dangerous it is...

Hi

 

Would you be willing to let us do a report on this unit?

 

It will be done at our test & quality facilty and then I can send you a report as to why it has failed?

 

This report can them be used to back up any out of warranty claim for a refund or replacement. You may have gathered that I am in contact with Trading Standards over this product and currently passing details of failed units to them in order to add to the profile of the product.

 

Please send me a private message if you are happy to do this.

I would be happy to send it to you I'm waiting for Vodafone to reply first and then am happy to take it into a store for them to see as you suggested but after that I will send it to you. Be in touch again soon

Hi

 

Thanks for your reply...

 

Whatever you do, don't let them ask you to post it or hand it in at a shop. Let them know you are happy to open it up and take pictures or take it into a shop for inspection.

 

HAVE YOU CONTACTED TRADING STANDARDS on 03454 040506?

 

Please ensure you do as only when enough have complained will they consider a FULL RECALL.

 

I am currently awaiting a reply as to where failed units should be sent and will let you know when I have an answer as it appears that TS are working with Vodafone and I have already sent some to thier Product Assurance Technical Specialist so it may be that all the others will be sent there.

Hello All...

 

Have Vodafone contacted you or have you had a chat online and been told that the only way you can obtain a replacement is buy one up front, then later claim a refund?

 

This, is totally wrong as they have sold you a dud product, so why should you have to pay again on promise of a refund.

 

If Vodafone have told you this, phone Trading Standards back on 03454 040506 and tell them that you have now been offered a replacement on your burnt out device but only if you purchase a new one and claim the money back.

 

Vodafone have already admitted on the phone to me that units prior to August 2015 are affected, so why should you have to pay up front when all you should be doing is sending the unit back or drop into a shop to prove your existing unit is faulty.

 

I have emailed  Vodafone's CEO and passed this on to Trading Standards this end, but if this is the deal Vodafone are offering then you must inform your local Trading Standards office.

 

Also, you can legally claim 8% interest per day that you are waiting for your refund if you have already purchased one and awaiting a refund. This is classed incurred remidial cost in order to obtain your rightful replacement which should be at NO FURTHER COST to you.

 

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!
