This may be stupid, but is it not possible to replace the broken component? It seems kind of wasteful to simply toss the entire gerber because a single part.

It may not be worth the momey or time. If need special tools to replace the part, so after shipping and paying someone hourly to fix it, its just cheaper for a new one.

I'd say that a special tool that needs to be replaced, or if you need to send it back, that seems like a bit of a miss. Just was curious.

Sorry for the bad grammar. I keep responding on this sub right after I get off work. But what I meant was is after you ship a new part and even a tool to fix the part it will probably cost more then just replacing it. Or if I where to ship it to gerber, they pay for that, the new part, pay someone to fix it and then oay for them to ship it back to me. Youve probably already exceeded the cost of an off the shelf Dime by like 5 times.
