I tried that and no luck. I could disassemble the entire R side to see if there's random physical damage, but that's a huge stretch. The case wasn't opened before this, and the device has never been dropped or mishandled.
It's possible it just has a random defect like you said. My q3 had a battery failure and I didn't notice until it stopped working without the charger. RMA is really straightforward and nice about it.
I'm going to have to pay $150 and send it in to be fixed. :(
That's unfortunate. Better than buying a whole new unit though.
