Heq5 pro died!!!

Hi guys.

I have a skywatcher Heq5 pro goto mount that I purchased September 2012 from U-shop in Sydney CBD.

I was hoping to image tonight and when I plugged it in, it turned on for about 2 minutes then it died. It would simply not turn on. The power cable that feeds the mount went really hot and when ever I plugger the power jack into the socket sparks would form. I am assuming that there has been a short circuit which has fried the insides of the mount.
The hand controller still works though. the PSU is still fine too.

I don't know what to do. U-shop has closed down and I am not sure if this is still under warranty ......should I open the unit up and see what's happened?


John.
