If you've physically damaged the unit (and it's obvious) I suspect that the vendor isn't going to buy the explaination that it beat itself up. Warranties don't cover dropping things - that's the job of insurance

I'd say it's fairly obvious, so my first ever insurance claim coming up. Before I do, is it worth taking it apart? The power button doesn't work and some of the RioStick functions are messed up, I have to push right to pause. The case isn't cracked or anything just a couple of digs in it.
