I'm nice to them pay the £5 post and I get a super replacement and they throw in a nice cleaning cloth and cleaning pen also and I'm very happy but I suppose this seems all wrong to you and it's somebody else's fault or they don't understand your predicament or whatever.I'm speaking for the seller here because I'm sure they wouldn't be allowed to put it in blunt terms.No-one I'm sure on here likes to see a bad outcome but you seem to be the obstacle. You wanted advice on here so there, you got it.That's £219 for my time please plus £16 stress damages<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
