Dd1 rarely uses it. DH is always on it. He always leaves it rested on the sofa, he never puts it away. Dd2 also likes to use it and leaves it rested on the sofa.
On the rare occasions I have seen dd1 with it she puts it back in the netbook bag I bought her or puts it on top of my xbox under the TV. I have never seen dd1 leave it on the sofa. I have known for her to hide it from DH and dd2, but generally only in places I myself would keep it.
It has been dropped, the hinge and power button have broken. It will turn on but frequently switches itself off. No one is taking responsibility for it. Dd1 is a bad liar. I firmly believe her when she tells me she knew nothing about it being broken until this evening and that it was working fine when she used it last week. DH and dd2 are better liars and both insistent that it was working yesterday, when they used it. I saw it working yesterday when dd2 was last on it. I also saw dd2 close it and put it down, still working. Somewhere between that afternoon and the evening it has been broken. I did not see anyone using it after dd2, when it was still working but I went out to work. It must have happened while I was at work. No one is admitting to using it in this time.
I think it should be repaired or replaced asap because it was dd1's birthday gift last year and she should not have to suffer because other people cannot look after things they borrow. DH is denying any responsibility and saying she should not have a new one if this one cannot be repaired cheaply.
