CBWills, sorry to hear about that, but I would return it too. Thats a bummer that you have to wait longer, but its better than having a half broken one. Who knows if this one will even keep working? Once you get one thats working 100%, it should last you for a long, long time judging by other peoples experiences with the mx-500/700.
