Have been in contact with bo-vida via email.

Generic response.


Hi,
Thank you for your email. I am really sorry to hear that you have had an issue with your product.
We have dispatched over 10,000 of these items and we have discovered a small fault rate with these, approx 50 have discovered different faults.
If you could return the item to us we will be able to run a test on the keys and dispatch new keys to you. However we will of course run tests on these first to ensure that they are working fine.
Please return to
Bo-Vida

Once again I do apologise for this inconveince and hope to have your issue resolved promptly.
Thanks
Kate


Then to check if they'll cover postage I emailed back. Reply

Hi XXXX,

Yes we will cover the cost of the postage if you could forward this receipt to us.

Thanks

Kate

I'll be posting mine including a copy of the receipt either later today or tomorrow.

Have you actually run a proper test on it though? I filled mine and it seemed to be working fine too until I ran a test and discovered that 80% of the stuff I had put on it was gone.

I still haven't received mine at all
Living Social promise they'll chase it with Bovida- who aren't answering their phones or responding to e-mails.......

Have to say that I got an email back from bo-vida less than 4 hours after sending it, and a further reply at around 10pm GMT. My bet is that **** has hit the fan over there.

50 faults out of 1000 my arse!

I've tried ringing them several times too- it rings and rings (I left it on speaker phone- it eventually goes dead after about 20 minutes........)
Apparently Living Social are able to contact them- mind you, you have a 15 minute call queue with LivingSocial (though they do eventually answer).

Does anyone know if you can partition the drive and just use the first ~7.9 gigs? Will that portion work as normal or will there still be corrupted files?

[sweetie]

As I said previously, we have since copied over the videos and run them. All fine. Late last night I also moved about 15Gb of family photos from my Mac to my brother's PC. Everything fine.

Thanks. I got a '16 gig' memory key about a year ago and only found out why it didn't work thanks to this thread. Only the first 4 gigs exist.
