Brad,
On the Kobo website, there is a customer service number: 1-866-204-4714. Also on their website are the warranty terms that state within the 1 year warranty period, if your unit is deemed defective through a manufacturing fault (and not user fault, of course), you have the option of replacing your unit with one of equal or lesser value; or having your unit repaired with new or refurbished parts. I'd give that customer service number a call, if you can, and see what they can do for you.
Good luck
