Hello guys. Just got my fx5 yesterday and tried to set it up this morning. My problem is that I got all but one of my lid fasteners off. The other one got loose from the orange part that holds the screw tight. All it took was one turn and I heard a click. Now whenever I turn the fastener, the screw turns with it. Any suggestions before I call customer support? I don't really think they would give me a replacement because they'll say it was my fault and not a product malfunction.
 
If it's brand new they should be able to do something and if anything you say "I opened it this morning and that crap happened, thus leaving me unable to set up the product" Just make a fuss if they arn't helpful and ask for supervisors and names ect... You just really have to haggle them to the point where you get what you want IMO.
 
can you post a pic? sounds like it would just pop back in no?
 
sounds like you can pop it back in. if you cant fix it send it over to me so that you wont have to deal with it. hehe
 
Well, now I got the lid off. I turned the screw sideways and the top came off. Now my question is, will water leak out if I have all but one screw tight? And Joey I would but shipping is too much...:)
