Humminbird Flasher Knob Repair

[Portlis]

Hey guys, quick question that I can't find the answer to anywhere online.

I just bought a Humminbird Ice 35 from a dude on the popular auction site. The unit itself appears to be in great condition and it seems to function fine from what I can tell, but the dork I bought it from didn't pack it properly and stuffed it in a box that was way too small that didn't offer hardly any protection during shipping. Long story short, I received the unit and the top knob (the knob for adjusting everything and gain) is broken clean off with no way of re-attaching it.

I'm obviously covered by the auction site's buyer protection, so I'm not worried about getting my money back or anything... but I really do want this unit if I can fix it or have it fixed. Ideally, I'd come to some sort of agreement with the seller.

So the question, anyone have experience with this? How difficult and/or expensive is it to replace this? Do I need to send it in to get fixed, or is it something I can do on my own? Any insights appreciated, thanks!

Yep common problem. All bird repairs have to go to factory. 1 1/2 weeks and &180.
