Thread: Argos Laptop table/workstation problem

Last saturday I bought a laptop workstation from argos, just what I had always been looking for. On Sunday, assembling was easy and took no more than 20 minutes, read all the instructions as well. I went out for a couple of hours and found my laptop on the floor (despite having rubber grips underneath). I thought this was a one-off.

When I got up for work this morning, the laptop had fallen on the floor once again. I tried to turn it on but it only displayed the blue screen of death and can not turn on anymore. I've had similar laptop problems in the past and know that this is the death of this machine. Most likely my data has also been wiped off.

I also purchased insurance with the table. I am not worried that much about the laptop table as it can be easily replaced.

Am I in my rights to ask Argos to fix/replace my laptop?

Here's what the tabl e looks like- Argos - www.argos.co.uk

Please advise. thanks in advance.

The table is tilted to help with posture. The laptop just slipped off, might be because of heat. I can confirm that my laptop is dead.

The table is meant to be tilted (have a look at the link above), there's no other way of assembling it.
Yes, the rubbers underneath are clean. I think the rubbers get slippery when the laptop is hot. I can't think of anything else. I foresee argos getting a lot of product returns on this product. Maybe they should have shaped the glass in a way that things won't slip off.

As for the BSOD, I am quite a computer geek and have done all that is possible to get it working again,safe-mode, booting from cd, etc......... now it wont even turn on.
I wanna get this sorted asap, as long as I don't lose out.
Please advise.
