Don't replace it until you've had it checked out. May not be much wrong. Where do you live? Get it to the service agent and ask them to check it out.

Is it still under warranty?
I know that Watersnake have a free pick up and delivery service for warranty repairs.
Or else try talking to mob that you purchased it from quite often they have fixed price deals with couriers which would be cheaper than having to take it to brisbane.

Forgot to mention, you can call the service guys there on 1300 252 725 > then 2

They can organize a courier collect via dealer network. Give them a call and have the serial number of the unit handy.

Or get it back to the store of purchase & they will sort it all out for you. :tick
