No diss taken -

I never stated I was going to do the work myself - however I'm not entirely comfortable sending my Rio off in a box anywhere to anyone - unless it's broken and I had no choice. It strictly comes down to my lack of trust in shipping companies as a whole - I have had more than a few problems in the past, and avoid them like the plague.

I have a great electronics store in town that do all warranty work for notebooks, stereos, etc, etc - my plan was to get them to do it.

From my understanding - and correct me if I am wrong, I am soley basing my assumption upon the many posts on this forum - that Brian can takes weeks, sometime months to get back to clients due to demand and only running the button mod as a hobby business at the moment?

As per Brian's site:
