OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

i have had a terrible week peoples!
my second love of my life has crashed and burned!

my 2 year old singer 7422 after putting 4 rows of my pineapple blossom quilt top together decided the light was going to die, so i emailed singer to find out how much it was going to cost me for a new blub , the man there informed me that i cant just replace it myself as it is a LED with a circuit board on it has to be replaced by a techinican :( i thought to myself this morning i will plug it in and see if it really has just blown or just playing up. when i plugged her in all the lights on the left side of the machine beeped at me and now will not sew or anything.
i rang the shop that sold it to me and he said no it isnt under warranty anymore and they no longer have their shop his wife now works for LINCRAFT and he still does servicing from home, i told him what it was doing or rather say NOT DOING, and he said he has never seen a singer with out a normal bulb in it before, needless to say he said if it is in the wiring it is going to cost me a fortune to get it fixed .
but never the less i am dropping it off to him in the morning to see what he says.
do i get it fixed ???? considering the machine cost me $400 brand new or do i just save up and buy a new machine? if so what brand of machine do i try next as the one i had before my singer was a janome and i burned it out in 12 months. so i wont try a janome again and i dont really want to go computerized again as they seem to be more expensive to fix.

on a nicer note it was my babys 4th birthday today so we had cake and sang songs all day , and i let her run amuck all day, she is so tired from it all she went to sleep at 5pm this afternoon.
