Again, try to see how other ppl took care of this issue, like draining the bat down to the end using the WSOD and then charge it to the fullest. Doing this a couple of times may solve the problem.

Well, it partly depends on where you live. In the USA the warranty is, unless they've changed it, one year.

I have had it for four months but is there any way to fix the WSOD? The powerdown/recharge doesn't work for me.
