That's tough. Waiting ~4 months to send in a product for warranty work is pretty unreasonable... however, you do have a good argument that not only did the product break within the warranty period, but you notified them of that fact at the time, so they can't argue that you're trying to pull a fast one on them.

That's a good point. If you're outside of the warranty period when you send the product in, you should be barred from receiving the benefit of the warranty (as of the date of postage, not receipt). At a certain point, the onus has to be on the consumer for acting reasonably quickly.
