Default Is there a way to buy a USB Wireless Dongle?

Hello,

After a lot of efforts, I finally managed to get the Rockband bundle for my PS3. I just received it yesterday, but to my dismay, the usb wireless dongle for the guitar refused to work right out of the box. The receiver doesn't lights on and the guitar led flashes when i press the connect button on it.
I have tried everything but it seems that the receiver in plain dead.

I looked for a replacement receiver online, but to no avail... the only option I can find is to buy a new guitar, but after all the effort I gone through to get my rockband bundle, that option is impossible for me (I'n not in USA, so I dont have the money for the guitar PLUS the shipment to my country)

I'm from Colombia (South America), so I know I'm out of "reach" for EA warranty and replacement programs. I had to have my RB bundle shipped to me internationally, so its cost was MUCH more than the MSRP and the hassle to have it delivered here was a total pain.

I'm desperate to play the game properly, but without a receiver I just cant. I dont know what to do, as the receiver was dead out of the box and I dont "qualify" for EA warranty. Also, the receiver is nowhere to be found online so I canư buy a replacement for it.

If someone here was a spare wireless receiver I can buy it from you. I can pay for via paypal and you can send the receiver to me via letter mail...

Please, help me! I'm really desperate!

You can send it via USPS, in a padded mail envelope and I think it shouldn't cost more that 8-10 dollars... I have bought different things from USA, same size as the usb dongle and shipping has never been over 8 dollars (as long as it's sent as a letter).

How much for the receiver?

Depends on how much the dongle weighs, if its 5 ounces it will be around $4
You can email me more info and your shipping address at jrolson85@gmail.com
