Unhappy Sigh

Hey guys,

I had a problem (got hit by a car) and the display of my A818 is broken (screen still intact). I was wondering if anyone knows how much Sony will charge for repairs or should I be hunting for a new one to buy?

Thanks

I can't help you there, but it's good to hear that your top priority is the screen

Man, be glad you're alright.

You could try calling Sony up and ask them them for a quote I think.

Sony would know what they might charge - why ask here when you could contact them directly. Sorry if that doesn't sound like an appropriate answer. Hey, depending upon your wallet - just buy something else (or the same thing if you liked it enough), fix the old one up and keep it as a BU or sell it.

Glad you're OK
