Booster popped with smoke coming out

Tuning in

Hi,

I returned from hholiday and switched on all of my electrics.  When I switched one of the booster packs back on, it literally popped and started to release smoke, thankfully no fire and my plug socket still works with other appliances.

I've looked at the help section but it doesn't confirm if I need to return the boosters to Virgin, if they will send an engineer out to check the socket is safe (due to their appliance causing the issue) etc 

Cannot find the right number to ring and when I click on the message option, a code appears but nothing else.

Can I just throw them away without being charged?

Hi Steven, yes someone called me last Thursday.  I am now awaiting new wifi pods and a bag to send the faulty boxes back.  

Hi @reeree81, thank you for your response.
