I was reading up on some of the terms in the CC's that I have, one of them has a benefit that it automatically extends the warranty for an item purchased for up to a year; i.e., if the company won't fix it, they will replace it. Another term was somewhat like a lemon-clause; in other words, if the item breaks within the first three months, accidental, stolen, vandalized, they would replace this as well. Of course each CC is different and there was a clause stating that the entire purchase price for the item must be made using the card.
So, what am I getting at? If you paid for your Reader with a CC you might want to do a little research and see if the card you used has this same type of protection. It would only take a few minutes to research, but might save you some money in the long-run. Good luck and sorry to hear about your predicament!
