The Gigaworks G550W I bought has suddenly stopped working. I switch it on and theres a click from inside the subwoofer and the power dies. Sometimes it'll stay on for a few seconds, other times it won't come on at all. I bought this back in June, about the 16th.. Do I RMA this back to Overclockers or has it been too long and I have to send it off to Creative? Or.. what?

Jeez, its quiet. I never realised how much I depended on sound. CDs, DVDs, Games..
 
I did check the fuses, both the one in the plug and the one in the subwoofer, but both are fine. Reading the Creative forums, it seems to be a common problem for a lot of people, usually on the G500's and the S750's. It seems to be triggered by overheating, a cutout switch to stop damage to the system, but it doesn't seem happy about coming back on after the switch is flicked.

If I return it to Overclockers, would I be able to get a refund or would it be a repair job? I don't think I want to stick with these speakers, I'd rather go with my original thought of the Logitech 5.1's.
