So much luck :(
My MP3 player of 5 months is pronounced DEAD. I'm not really upset over the $69 I spent, but more so, very frustrated with the brand and its distributor. Ok, just in case, you need to know the brand before buying something similar, it's Luxpro (Ez-tangent). Not at all lasting like it has been bragged to be. Bragger!
3 months into the purchase, the battery's life span made a turn for the worse. So I brought it in for an exchange since it is covered under a year's warranty. The new replacement gave me hope and renewed my faith in the brand. The battery life easily doubled that of the previous. My, was I happy...
But good things never seem to last. One day... something went really wrong! My battery didn't manage to take me through my train journey from Tampines to City Hall (which is namely only 24mins). "Christ, not again," I thought. I left it alone for some days.
Wanting to take it out on another train journey, I took it out again yesterday. To my horror, something within has swelled up so huge that it forced open the back of the MP3 player. As far as I know, lithium battery can cause explosion! I decided not to dump it at home, in event that it ignites suddenly... I packed it into the box and decided to bring it back to the distributor (wanting to refund it or lodge a complaint). Isn't that life endangering...!
The whole time I felt like carrying a time-bomb in my bag... to make things worse, I had a 2 hours interview that day. Fortunately I made it through the day after overcoming quite a few obstacles, and quite unfortunately I searched 4 storeys of Harbourfront Centre before I was informed that the Co. (the distributor) has recently moved out (or worse, closed down)!!!
I just suddenly felt a sense of relief, at least things have come to an end.
Dumped the swollen MP3 player in the bin, and more importantly I would like share this with others whom have also purchased the product... please beware!
p.s: It is really really really x 1 zillion times NOT A GADGET YEAR for me!
