Carvin BX500

Has anyone had any problems with there Carvin BX500? I'm on number 2! I bought one last summer and about six months into it I was using it as the front end in my studio to do bass tracks. I took a break for about 10 minutes...left it on and when I came back it smelled like something plastic was burning and then saw smoke coming out of the vents. Called Carvin and they took care of it: no questions ask which was very cool! I love the size and power for a little guy.
Now about 3 or 4 months after have the second one....from one week to the next the D.I. has taken a crap. ***? I'm calling them in the morning to see what they are going to say and do about it. Anyone else having similar problems?
