>>944677>take them back to walmart I'm a major proponent of this. They specifically request that manufacturers make products with early failure rates. They do this, not only because it forces the customer to need to purchase a replacement product sooner, but because when people begin to rely on these cheap products, the constant replacements force them further into poverty, reinforcing the customers' inabilities to buy more expensive quality products. Basically, shopping at WM is like getting addicted to cocaine, the more you do it, the more reliant you become on it.
