I'm going to DESTROY my logitech z-5500 digital

[mudkip]

hey,

My logitech z-5500 was acting weird and gave me this ''Mute on over temperature error'' so I decided to call logitech. I had to wait a few minutes but then I got this guy and I told him about my case. He asked if i had a coupon of the purchase ,but i told him that I lost it , then he said that he had to discuss something with his colleagues and after a min he came back . He told me that i had to make three photo's.

1) A photo of the whole set + a paper with the reference number he gave me
2) a photo of the control pod + the PID number + paper with the reference number
3))a photo of the whole set completely destroyed and unusable + paper with reference number

if i could send him these photo's he'd send me a new one. I was like , wtf? why destroy the whole thing? He said that this was the only way to make sure customers wouldn't abuse the whole replacement thing.

So guys, I'm going to hack and slash this thing down with and burn it afterwards. lol

I keep you updated


I need idea's how to destroy the set, so reply if you know something. Everything will be filmed and put on youtube!

 

[Ahhzz]

Wow... I'd almost be tempted to try some of the photoshop filters and destroy it digitally but, a free new one is a free new one, right?

Always keep your invoices.

Always keep your invoices.

I bought it from a guy but he said he lost the invoice when he moved from his parents house to his own

yep , the funny this is, when i let the sub laying on his side, the error dissapears , so somehow i think there's something not right in the sub

Logitech is awesome, I had bought my MX Rev mouse refurbished and I lost my USB receiver. I bought a new one and it wasn't working, so I emailed them told them the story. They then had me send mine in and they sent me a brand new one, even though I had bought mine as a refurb, I will always buy Logitech after that!

I suppose they aren't having you ship it in because of shipping costs, so they just have you destroy it.

Well since your going to smash it up you may aswelll carefully open the sub instead and see if you can fix the problem : ]

Although this seems a bit iffy, if you hurt yourself destroying it you could sue as they told you to do it ha ha.

 

[DrPepper]

Make sure they are still identifyable after they are destroyed.

My reccomendation, axe the crap out of the housing etc, but try and keep the drivers intact ( aswell as the internal electricals etc)
That way you can build your own set of speakers later XD

they told you to destroy it

wow . . . . .

I would take out everything electric, get a logitech sticker and put in drivers that looks like the other ones, get one from a junk yard or something and start hacking the crap out of that stuff and send the picture

Snap, to destroy a perfectly good set of speakers is insane!

Especially if you only need to turn it on its side to work!

Obviously just a tempreture sensors come loose or something.

Logitech is INSANE

They told me to destroy that it wouldn't work anymore afterwards.

Yeah they told my friend to do it to his G15 when it broke. It's so you can't scam them out of products.

 

[aximbigfan]

I had to do this with an RC helicopter that broke. Not as unusual as it might sound...

 

[MohawkAngel]

So I suppose i made a good move buying the Logitech WAVE wireless lazer mouse and keyboard combo ??

 

[Solaris17]

i wouldnt axe it etc ya know? i mean that just seems over the top idk....blow every speaker the system has and then idk cross wire one of the radio speakers and like watch it catch on fire.

If you do this a video must be made.

oh good, i was waiting on this thread.

i suggest guns. or explosives. how about thermite?

 

[mudkip]

We can't use guns here in the netherlands , no explosives unless i'd make a home made one. So that's unfortunately not possible

Any access to a blow torch?

Any access to a blow torch?

nope,

 

[freaksavior]

gasoline and Styrofoam.

but logitech is awesome. I had a G5 die on me about 8 months after i bought it. i told logitech and they sent me a bnib mouse. didn't ask to send in the old one or prove it didn't work. just asked for receipt and sent a new one.

 

[DrPepper]

gasoline and Styrofoam.

Sounds suspiciously like napalm

I wonder how powerful a magnet it would take to rip it to pieces.
