If its not working now, he's been tucked up himself just as much as you have.
Crap situation, bit unfair on the seller if he bought and sold something in good faith and knew nothing about the issues and now is somehow considered to blame for the fact it doesnt work which he had no way on earth of knowing about? Not his fault at all is it?
I dont see how the seller can be expected to do anything about it other than refer you back to the person he got it from TBH?
Let me be the first to disagree!!!!
I know your only paying devils advocate cos your a good lad chip but the blame now lies solely with the last person to sell it as he's selling as good,the ad says "he" drove it 1000 miles in "his" car with no issues which was not the case.
The last person in line needs to refund whoever he sold it too then chase the boy HE bought it off to get his refund.
Same as of you buy something like a tv off a shop etc,you get your refund from the shop then they chase the manufacturer/their supplier for the difference.
Ok,it's second hand parts and you always take a gamble so it's obviously not quite that cut and dried,but leocos clearly sold this box on as good when as scoobyslayer stated should have been sold as untested albeit then at a far lower price.
