Seems to have poor quality control on ir illuminator - Armasight Orion 5x Gen 1+ Night Vision Rifle Scope

I purchased this on November 6th, and as of yet, I have not gotten the defective IR illuminator issue taken care of. the IR 810 would flicker then go off, I received a new illuminator from the MFG on the 18th of December installed the battery and it won't even turn on. This makes me concerned about the scope itself, will it crap out shortly too?
Pros: Scope seems okay
Cons: IR 810 illuminator issues
