Thanks I gave up on the ticket in the end and called the toll free support number instead and they advised me to talk to the company I bought it from first.
They were very helpful and are replacing it with a new unit. They even said they will test it first to make sure there are no problems.
Fingers crossed I should be back in business by next week!!!
Just as an aside the Corsair support guy was really good and my call was answered straight away.
If you are in the UK like me simply set up a VPN, use US as location and you can use Skype to make the call for free.
