New 580EXII stopped working

About 3-4 weeks old, stopped working yesterday. Working fine one minute, then refused to fire even when pressing the discharge button/light. Tried new batteries, still the same. All the other functions worked, it just wouldn't fire. Tried it on someone elses Canon, still wouldn't work so we knew the flash was the problem. Brought it back to the camera shop this morning and they gave me another new one without any hassle. That's why I prefer to buy most of my stuff from the same shop as they look after me in times of need like this.
