Usually, Rob, if there's something like that going on there is a hardware
issue which we can't resolve. There might be a loose connection, and
attempting to open the case might invalidate your warranty. I would tell
them the behavior is unacceptable, and send the unit back for their repair
techs to examine and fix.
