It's official, but surely I have some warranty, or at least a customer support number to call?
Anyone?

I did, try, at least, I don't have a gamebit screwdriver though, so I can't open it. Damn thing.

And I forgot to phone the helpline today. Darn.

Last time I checked, www.nintendo.co.uk had the addresses and contact numbers somewhere.

So, I phoned the technical queries line, they told me to try playing without a memory card (which is pointless, as I can't save), but my games still crash.
I'll phone again tommorrow, they said I'd have to send it to them, but I don't have an address.

...the answer is, "Boot Sale"! The amount of dodgy consoles floating around at my local one is not funny - people will be silly enough to buy them and of course with a boot sale its not like you can track them down once you plug it in and find out some benny has sold you a duffer =(

(happened to me once with an Amiga 500 - I was fuming, and unfortunately they weren't back there the next week when I went to lay the smackdown on them =P)

Unfortunately, I appear to have binned it, and it doesn't give you a number with any of the games (that I'm aware of).

And they will know, eventually, and they'll stab me.
