[dorkbotpdx-blabber] musician with an emergency!

[Wm Leler]

The advice so far is good. One thing I would add is that if you used a  
credit card to purchase the device, many credit cards have "purchase  
protection" for new purchases.  This would only be important if the  
place where you purchased it refuses to exchange it, or the  
manufacturer refuses to repair it (if they somehow figure out that it  
was dropped).

good luck!
