I ended up sending it to J.A. Air Center in Illinios.
They said 2 or three days turn time before I shipped it and then about a week ago I contacted them and they said the technician working it was on vacation "till early next week"
They have had it since the 5th of December (2 full weeks) with no expected return date yet or diagnosis etc.
Supposedly the tech was back yesterday, still no word.
