Sansa Connect 4Gb

Does anyone know how long the unit is warranted?  My son received one for his birthday in September 2007.  He is very careful with his electronics…it appears the teeth in the unit have loosened/detached and now it can no longer be charged.  I wrote the company and am hoping they will exchange the unit.  Anyone with similar problems?

Thanks much!
