acer S277HK monitor warranty issue - warning to others

A couple of months ago my monitor developed  an intermitent fault in that it wouldn't always start when i turned it on via the on/off button. The problem got worse and worse until eventualy the only way to start the monitor was by unplugging the transformer from the power lead, wait 3 seconds and plug it back in and if you were lucky it would start. During this time my monitor on/off button became dislodged as i frequently tried to turn it on. The button then pushed half way inside the case of the monitor but was still functional. I returned my monitor to ACER, explaining that it wouldn't turn on unless i unplug/plug in the transformer and now i have just recieved a phone call from them telling me that i need to pay £92 to get the power button repaired other wise they will send it back unrepaired. I explained to the woman who called me that the power button would not have broken if i didn't have to repeatedly firmly press it several times each time i wanted to use it. She wouldn't take this into consideration though and insisted that i pay the money or have it returned unrepaired. I guess the moral of the story is as soon as something doesn't function 100% as it should, send it back immediately and don't try to persevere with it as i did.

          I must say im rather disapointed with the issues i`ve had with my 9 month old monitor and after dealing with there aftersales care i won't be buying from them again.
