Just received an update, the charge went from $98 to $00 and they have shipped me a 710 replacing the 280 I sent in.

This alleged workaround also leaves you with no ability to tell when your battery is going to run out. You may have 1 shot or 100 left, and you'll never know until the camera just shots down on you. There's no fix for that, no matter what anyone tells you.
It's not an alleged work around, it's a fact. I don't think anyone is claiming this is a fix but at least I can use the camera. When the battery runs out the camera stops working and I put in my spare. I'm living with it because I don't trust Canon to actually fix it based on past experience.

That's good news for some but I don't want the 710. I want the higher zoom the 280 has. So Canon is saying they are unable to fix the 280's problem? They send a substitute instead? Did you get the unfixable 280 back?

OK for some but I want the longer zoom of the 280. So is Canon saying they can't fix the 280? Did you get your 280 back from Canon?
