I used not to hate it but... when It started not to boot (2 months after warranty had expired ) I decided to look on the Internet for a solution of my problem. Look what I found

The problem is that the memory slot soldering is faulty, so it will stop working after a random amount of time. People is using the strangest workarounds, like pieces of wood or paper under the memory cover, in such a way that the memory slot is pressed on the motherboard. But this is just temporary...

Now, considering the amount of people with this problem, considering the fact that there is a petition on line and that also a Class Action is under consideration, maybe it would be wise for Sony to recognize that this is a systematic fabrication issue, not just a bunch of unlucky products.

I talked with the assistance and they don't recognize it as a fabrication problem, so they want around 80 ¿ JUST to tell me how much the reparation will cost! The solution is naturally the motherboard substitution that I estimate between 700 and 900 ¿. Does anyone think this is worth the money?

It would be just nice to be proposed something like a substitution at the bare price of the motherboard ... I don't think it's a good idea for Sony to try to make money on their own defect of fabrication!!!

Let me know your opinion about this. Bye
