Hello,
My VSS3 has been working since September 2015, without problems.
But when we got up this morning there were no lights on it and the mobile phones don't work (Zero SIgnal without it)
I've tried the VSS3 in different sockets - still no lights. (Other things work in the original socket.)
Helpby "no lights" I mean none at all - not even the red power light.

Hi @damiant
First please unplug it now.
Second ring customer service on 191 and explain whats happened. A Sure Signal cones with a 24 month manufacturing warranty but they'll still help even if its past that as some v3 units have suffered issues.
Some useful information in > Suresignal-V3-Overheated-Blew-Up-Exploded-Hot-Burnt-out-amp-Dead.
Current Phone >
Samsung Galaxy s²³ Ultra 512gb Phantom Black.

My suresignal has stopped working with the same symptons. It has always worried me how hot it has operated at and periodcillay used to stop working and needed to be allowed to cool down and be reset. I have just spoken to Vodafone who told me it's out of warranty and they are not interested. I then rang the Citizens advice who told me that under the Limitations Act it should work for at least six years and so they are duty bound to replce or fix it. I will go back to Vodafone and see what they say.

I called 191 again and advised them what the Citizens Advice had told me. They then agreed to send me a replacement so it seems as though they are aware of a known fault and if you push them they will replace.

Why not wtite to Vodafone's CEO and let him know how abysmal this product and service has been.
You can Google "Vodafone CEO email address" and write him a stern but non offensive complaint.
More details can be found here: https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Vodafone-Sure-Signal/Suresignal-V3-Overheated-Blew-Up-Exploded-Hot-B...
Please read page one in respect to Vodafone agreement to replace failed devices.
I trust that these failures have also been reported to Trading Standards?
