Yours is actually the first, out of thousands, that I have heard of  
doing this. But its well beyond warranty, so if its a hardware issue,  
then thats the end of the story. After all, the way such devices are  
built affordably is by making them fixed units. There is no mechanism  
for repair. I've been carrying one around in my briefcase for years,  
and it still works as expected. So please do not assume your  
individual case is universal. Its also worth noting that your unit may  
still do fine for building color profiles, you are using for a  
different process.
