I have a Sony VAIO 747 - I got it on December 3. On December 16 the
inverter board died, resulting in a *very* feint screen (you can only
bearly see bright white things).
Sony customer services took 3 weeks to get it fixed and refused to
replace it. I believe the only reason they got it fixed was that I
did the Mastercard / registered letter / termination of contract of
sale bit after the second week (I would have done it sooner, but I
couldn't send a registered letter over the Christmas period). I was
given neither compensation or an apology.
For a company the size of Sony, I find this disgusting and would
recommend that people don't buy Sony (I certainly never will again).
Their products are fine, the way they treat their customers stinks.
If anyone wants further details, I'll be glad to provide them.
