Or in a jurisdiction with decent consumer protection laws, take it back to the
shop you bought it from and demand a refund.
The warranty period is irrelevant. UK law says a device should function
"for a reasonable time" and I can't imagine Trading Standards being
happy that *any* length of time is "reasonable" when the cause of
failure is the manufacturer bricking it.

... and post it on the Internet. Along with why you did this.
I don't have a link handy and my memory is getting a bit hazy. But it seems to
me that Ken Starks shamed a recalcitrant computer manufacturer into doing the
right thing simply by *threatening* to do something similar with a donated
laptop which they couldn't get access to for want of a password.
Viral video, or in this case the threat of one, can sometimes work wonders.
