Confirmed with NewMP3Technology, although it is out of warrantee (just), they will repair it and send it back to the UK for $89 - At current rates that is about £54 which is not too bad. I also have to post it to them, which is estimated at about $25 (£14.50) Hope it don't take too long to get back - And I really hope UK customes don't try to charge import duty on it (again!)
