I've good tech support from them, did you call and ask for an RMA? Even if you have to pay to ship it to them. They take a look at it and see what part needs replaced. That's what they did when I bricked my SSD. I told them what I did, they said no problem it shouldn't of bricked. They fixed it and sent it back, cost me $12 to fix. Better than $150 for a new one.
