I talked to CS just to be sure and they said I need to go ahead and send it off to be repaired. But to be honest, I'm not sure if that kind of thing can be repaired-- and if it can't, they have no more of these in stock and can't give me a replacement
File the ebay and paypal claim and see where that takes you. Stop communicating with the seller. You told her, she didn't offer a refund, so your options now are to file a papal and ebay dispute.
