Camera arrived back on Thursday.
All fixed and seems to be working fine. Haven't had a chance to remote it with the scope yet, but will do so as soon as the skies clear.
Even though it was repaired under warranty, it still cost me $28 for excessive freight (box was too big) and $86 for lens clean (not covered under warranty).
According to the paper work they replaced:
"C/O REF DIG PWB W/REMOTE SET UP" 
Clear skies
Rod
