how is that relevant to his situation?..he is asking for opinions as to what to do now, not what he should have done..
joe, my advice would be to send it to the warranty company with the list of repairs provided by GCG. Then, upon its return, ask GCG to inspect it again to see if it is A ok. Of course, these costs involved in shipping, re inspection will need to be forked out by somebody. Maybe you need to make some arrangment with SP here.
Cheers
