Regarding the glare, I'm not sure of the cause this time.
I will have to take it all apart and check for sources. I though I had a bit of a light leak but once fixed it still had a lot of glare, so back to the drawing board.

Reach out to ZWO...they are usually good about repairs but may vary depending on the age of the camera. Worth a try, and if you get another camera you might have a backup if they help you out.
