Okay, all right. Not a problem. Now, sir, I was able to create a record for you in the system. However, based on the record here, the warranty of your product has already expired. And just to set proper expectations, that we no longer provide free technical assistance for out of warranty devices. However, if you insist, we can still provide you one-time phone support lasting only for six to 70 minutes, but there would be a fee for that, and that's $15. Now, if you don't want to pay $15, it's still okay, sir.
