I know how you feel. Dealing with hardware issues can be _extremely_ frustrating. It's very easy to dig yourself in a hole wherein you stop thinking clearly. In this situation, if you haven't completely given up on it yet, maybe take a day or two off and work on something else? I find that helps. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer or post to their forums.

Feel free to email me if you want a second pair of eyes. sean at [myusername].com

Thanks! I already posted on upwork and took up one other person's offer in this thread. If neither pan out, I'll ask you next :)
