Very true, however I'm a bit luckier. My ignitors work successfully up to 10,000 feet before they crap out.

I didn't even think to ask- At what altitude are you trying to use it? If you're above 8000ft, that could also be the problem.

Try lighting the stove with a pot/pan on top. This creates more concentration of gases around the electrode.

Sometimes the tip or mount of the igniter gets a little tweaked or twisted and ends up too far away from the burner head to arc properly. Try gently moving it a bit closer and hit the switch. If that doesn't do it, it's going to be a warranty issue and you should get it replaced.
