Sorry to hear about your troubles, Bernie.
The good news is that you're covered by warranty, as it's an expensive repair otherwise.
They told me my replacement unit would take weeks to arrive too, and it arrived 5 days later (despite the dealer "forgetting" to order it after we agreed the repair).

Good luck!
