The number one rule of companies is not to admit liability unless absolutely necessary - ie air bag recalls and stuff - its the same with everyone, inc the issue I have with a computer manufacturer.
Anyone paying 2k or such for a unit is bonkers - please dont and give it to someone to look at as above comment - repairing these is entirely possible if you have skills, time and patience but all that is lacking now and the easiest route is swap in a brand new unit - its like this for all main components - fancy headlights etc -
