Seagate Warrenty on OEM HDDs

[BLIXEMPIE]

I have a failing 500GB SATAIII HDD at home. Upon checking it's warranty info online I am greeted with a message stating the HDD is OEM and I have to contact the supplier. Now I bought this via someone, so I don't know who the supplier is. What options do I have? It's a brand new HDD, hardly used.

You contact the various suppliers in the country and ask them if the serial shows up on their system.

Take it to Rectron, they are supposedly the official distributors for SA on behalf of Seagate.
