I'll never understand this guy :/, it doesn't appear to be second hand from what he is saying so where's the harm in sending it back under warranty... rather than believing the oh so smart guy who fitted it that broke the effing fan off it (god knows how, was he fitting it with a hammer?)
I guess some are happy to be walked all over and lied to, and there's plenty of people out there who will do that to you.
