What ever the case, I stepped out of my norm of buying expensive and went cheap with the Firestorm. Get what you pay for still holds true.
Just got a call from Canadian Tire. At first, the rep didn't recognize who I was. I did a bunch of tech work for the Service Manager a while back. The rep said he's looking into my problem a little further. They may have a charging unit hangin' around in the back somewhere. Crossing my fingers as I may get it free!
Cheers!
