QA/QC? Obviously very poor.
Take it back and get another one (within 28 days as otherwise you'll have to send it back to TT) |

Take it back and swap it. Simple.
Think yourself lucky it's not a computer monitor. For those there is some ridiculous "acceptible dead pixel rate" where you have to start really threatening them to get things swapped. ![Evil or Very Mad](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_evil.gif) |
