Thanks everyone. Surprised that the overwhelming response is to repair the camera. The guy at the camera shop I spoke to said no way would he spend $300 repairing a camera. In hindsight, perhaps I'm too trusting! I guess that is what he would say to sell me a new camera. I will start a more serious communication with Olympus over my expectations being convincingly unmet.

Anyway I don't like the EP-L8 and I guess the next step up is a PEN-F. Or is there one in between? I will research the EM10 mkii. I know nothing about it.

I never suggested the Pen F as it is much more money but if you like the Pen styling you will love the F and get a bonus EVF (but lose the flash) over the EP5. The EM10ii will do everything better than your EP5 but it is a DSLR styled camera. For me I enjoy a retro Pen style for one lens and social out and about photos but an OMD for "serious" work. Good luck!

Credit to whoever said that first and my wife for saying it to me. Make the best you can of every day!
