I get an error using quick format.
Something like "this drive cannot be formatted"

I'd agree with what's already been said, take it back.
it might even be that an any action you take to fix it (e.g. format) could invalidate your warranty...

My warrant is still covered by Dell SB so I gave them a call today and they are sending a replacement. Thanks for the help people.

You might try to get debugging info from within your device in X-Terminal. But for some of the commands to work you need rootsh from extras repository installed.
If you have questions regarding the output, feel free to ask, but attach or copy'n'paste the full output of all commands.
Code:
mount df -h ls -al /home sudo gainroot sfdisk -l

Try this:
you might be able to fix it but use it at your own risk:
reboot afterward and tell us the resultCode:sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 sudo fsck.vfat -f /dev/mmcblk0p1
