Who told you that since it was OEM that Seagate would not honor the
warranty?
We've had a number of distributors go bust on us over the years that we have
had drives from, Seagate have always picked up and honoured warranty issues.
Contact Seagate directly, forgetting about Cobalt or any distributors - they
work directly on the serial number and will be able to tell you if it is
still in warranty or not and if so what to do and where to send it.
