    Buy a new one, they are cheap enough nowadays & not worth getting repaired unless you're able to DIY.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    I found this forum helpful - search for specific advice using the make and model number. In my case it wasn't worth bothering the fix as the was a manufacturer's fault (without a permanent solution) they weren't admitting liability to.
