No, it doesn't make the same sound NUC'ing. I think it is probably like Kevinfarmer suggested and the NUC shutter is stuck. I tried a suggestion that he sent to me by PM, but it didn't work.
Sellmark has sent me an RA # and also a prepaid shipping label for FedEx. I have it boxed and will carry it into town to the FedEx facility if the remnants of this hurricane aren't too bad here.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and help. I'll post back how long the turnaround time is and what they send me back. Gonna be tough going without it.
