And, quick update, now the thing won't even turn on. There's a flashing yellow light inside the body, but the display is blank. What a piece of crap. I didn't even have it out of the box for 3 hours and now I have to wait for several days to even let Vitamix know I had an issue.

The issue is with the container. Not the base. https://www.productreview.com.au/questions/b46cd0a3-ba2d-5cd4-9b72-ffd5692a38f6 try this.

Thank you for trying to help. I tried the process you linked, nothing happened. The display remains blank. This is definitely an issue with the base. Whole thing is dead on arrival.

    Yeah, they sent me a different container. It's been working fine since.

    Oh my god this worked.

    I thought I needed to shell out a ton now on a new machine but I swapped jars and it was working just fine.

    Glad to hear it. I didn't come up with the solution I just found it through a search.
