Thank you David for the contact info, I sent them an email to see if there was a cdn repair shop b/c it's ridiculously expensive shipping between our countries... also mentioned what was wrong with it & asked what return postage might be from my area code. Wait to see what their reply is...
I bought a new one last night from a cdn rc site for $265 shipped... compared to, sevocity for example @$209usd, after currency exchange it's $280 +shipping.
