Anonymous: #coby_mp705 My Coby had a one year warranty, it lasted almost 355 days and
due to the holidays and long wait times i was not able to get support
do address my dead Coby. Once I got someone on the line on
January 2, I was told I was out of luck with my warranty.
I would never buy another Coby product or recommend it
It will not last you much longer than the warranty period. Jan 3, 11
