Send to Sony or take to CompUSA?

If it is still under warranty take it to Sony.\n\nIf you got an extended warranty from the place you bought it then take it to them.\n\nCompUSA will most likely buy the part from Sony and charge you labor for it. That's what most computer repair places do.\n\nYou may want to take it in to a shop and have them back up your data and replace the motherboard, if you are in Houston I could do it, but I doubt you are. My shop would charge for the part plus $85 (not per hour just 85) for labor.\n\nUnless you want to order the part yourself and install it.\n\nThe sony parts site is: http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/\nThe number is: 1-800-488-SONY (7669)

It would probably be best to speak with a rep from this company:\nhttps://www.gotomypc.com/en_US/entry.tmpl?_sid=72172235%3A7726E37C7750514&Action=rgoto&_sf=2\nhttps://www.gotomypc.com/mm/g22dFeatures.tmpl?SessionInfo=72173061:0DBD507DF75CF9E

the best way is to send it back to sony via insured priority mail as they have the expertise and SPARE PARTS needed to fix it, any repair shop is going to first diagnose it and then order parts from sony, in the long run shipping it will take less time then a local shop

agreed, if you are un-able to locate a setting in the BIOS to 'auto detect' your hard drive, then you need to speak, (or e-mail,) to Sony customer support.....

You should go to a the store where u bought it or ask a specialists...  If you see the socet where a cable should go, it is probley transferable by usb cord..  If not, ask and see if you can buy the cable!

Nope, you need a wirless adaptor, USB adaptors are cheap, ($12 - 30 Bucks) try compusa, or tigerdirect.com

If you're copying to your hard drive, then it might be going bad.  You should probably run a chkdsk on it.

Try calling them first and stating your case. If that doesn't work and you know you are right, get in touch with the comsumer protection agency. They can a big help.

There are converters out there, though I've never had to look for one.  I'm sure of you search on pricewatch.com or google, you should find something.  I know they exist.\n\nHave you already purchased the drive?  Obviously if you haven't, I hope you know that you have nothing to gain by doing so.\n\nAlso, you could add a PCI SATA card to your system to save a spot on your IDE channels.  Realize that a PCI SATA card does not perform as well as a dedicated SATA port on a motherboard since it has to share bandwidth with other PCI devices.\n\nLots of options here.....need more info

There are multiple options, infrared, bluetooth, and direct connection (ie. serial, usb or parallel). I think usb is the easiest to set up and start transfering.

check the warranty. where did you buy it from? did you get an extended service plan? when i get stuff from best buy and it breaks, usually they will swap it out if you have an extended service plan. If its under warranty, just send it to sony.

It depends which format you are sending/receiving. Windows Media Player and iTunes more than suffice.
