HTC (Hates Their Customers) Vive Support

Bought a vive about 3 months ago. (Had it for about a week) I am playing a game and the right eye starts flickering. Eventually goes out. I think"oh ill just contact Customer Service" I go to their website some dude makes me reinstall adapters and turn my computer on and off for about 3 hours. He finally gets it through his head that something is broken. He send me an address to send the broken headset to. I send it off about a day later and it arrives a couple days later at their office. Well I wait about a month and I decide to check up on it. I go on and look at the status on their website. It just says "Received" so I decide to open a live chat to see a more in depth description on how the repair is going. They say " Just wait it will be done in a week or so!" "It will be sent back like new!" I'm like "Okay ill check back later". I forget about it for about a month and come back and they say the exact thing. So I just wait another month and finally check back and I get an answer! It's gonna cost me $270 to repair the headset that doesn't even cost $200! I ask about the warranty and they said they found liquid in the headset. WTF? Did I pour a glass of water in it without noticing? What do they mean by liquid? And now I'm here. No money. Low in-come job. Viveless. Thanks. What a scam.

​

TL:DR Headset broke the first few days I had it and sent it in and 3 months later they finally decide to tell me its gonna cost more than half of what the entire system cost.

EDIT: after ranting to them about the over pricing, they told me to call tomorrow for more information and a discount. Is this real?

EDIT 2: Got in contact with an Indian dude he basically told me the same thing text based was telling me. I asked about the discount I was told to ask about. Doesn't exist. He also tried to sell me the Vive pro, which was "a lot better"than my broken one. I've lost hope in this company.

EDIT 3: After staying in contact with support they keep offering a "discount". So I asked if i could maybe redeem it. Then they say "Nevermind there's not a discount". I've tried everything. I give up. Is there anyway to fix it myself? Any parts online?
