Everyone's service sucks. HP used to have great service. I once sent them a printer that failed, it was the power supply, they not only paid for shipping both ways, (out of warranty), but sent me a new power supply gratis. I took up a full day of one of their engineers time trouble shooting why my mid range photo printer started printing images that exhibited banding, (the tech I started with on the phone realized he was simply out of his depth and passed me to a supervisor who passed me to the engineer). That was only six years ago. Today you can barely contact them and their agents are barely literate in English, though I expect that the speak Urdu or Hindi quite well...

I have a P3000 viewer that I have used a fair amount when traveling.

Recently it lost its ability to download files from SD or CF cards.  I can view 
the images on the cards, and I can view images already on the hard drive, but 
the download doesn't work.

Emailed Epson support; they told me to call an independent service center on 
Long Island.

Called them; all they do is send the units on to Epson, and charge $289.

$289 to re-flash a chip somewhere?  No way.

That is lousy, exploitative "service".  I was attracted by the R3000 printer, but I'm now 
thinking "Any brand but Epson!"

Don't lose heart!  They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a 
lengthily search.
