WHat a good idea!!! Yeah I did call and they told me that there was a record
of it so that proves it was before 21 days. I'm going to see if restoring it
did anything. I'll give it a few more day then I'm shipping it back. I
couldn't believe they hung up on my. I was boiling. But I didn't even think
to lie. SAying that all of these other problems are occurring is such a good
idea. How the hell would they know? They obviously don't know what they are
doing in the first place if they can't even tell me what the hell the screen
is. Thanks again
