I'd send it back. There is no reason a 100 mod from any where should shit out on you. If you go filling stuff and taking it apart that will most likely void the warranty.
Also, IMO you paid 100 and there great mods. They shouldn't make you pay because the item is factory defective. Make sure you put that in bold letters. Factory defective. Not wear and tear.
If that slipped passed quality checks, I would worry that that batch is having problems, and other problems not so obvious.
Hope it all works out for you. Your a super good person you deserve a top notch squonker that works and isn't defective.
