A few weeks back I had a problem with my apex so I sent it off to get fixed. The v1 and v2 ports went bad. Now just FYI if you buy any apex from any store make sure it still has a warranty. I bought my apex from a lfs that had it on the shelf for 18 month new in the box. I bought it in the yearly part of this year I think Feb. After apex got the apex unit with a copy of the receipt I got a call from apex saying it was out of warranty and it would cost me $100 to fix it. I wasn't happy about it and ask why if I bought it new from my lfs why I'm getting charged to fix it I was told the warranty starts when apex send it of to lfs. So this is just a heads up to everyone looking to buy an apex make sure you call apex and ask how long you have left on the warranty. I'm not mad at anyone but myself for not double checking the info before I bought the unit.
