Ship it to Tentec, pay the repair price and chalk it up to "education
expense". I know it was an accident and we all are subject to making
mistakes. Some are just more expensive than others.
Trouble shooting an issue like this can be very time consuming. Unless
specific components are initially found to be defective, I've observed that
just wholesale replacement of parts would likely induce more problems that
originally existed from the initial event. This is much like finding faults
where a lightning strike has caused a failure. That translates to $0.30
worth of parts and 10 to 15 hours of diagnostic time.
