Thanks for the reply. Considering what else could potentially be wrong from reading other posts, I am thinking of keeping the VF, just using it and being happy with it. Other than that dot, it is absolutely perfect. I love this thing. I have a lot of other devices (SX Mini M, Radius, multiple rDNA 40's and dna 30's), but this is already my favorite by far. Merry Christmas to you, as well.
