my sony tv model no xa85m80 had developed a problem on 23 - 10 - 07. I called ur service centre at plasma vision borivili mumbai. They had sent thier engineer he checked and told that he had to take the circuit board along with to replace the str parts. he came on 27. 10. 07 and fixed the board and the tv starting working within few hours it developed the same problem. I called them the eng. came and switched it on it started working again after two it developed the same problem i have called them.
I have only a request that a brand name SONY should not have such problems within 4 years and if so, the same problem should not reapeat again. I request u to do the needful.

Playstation is not working. Both USB ports will not charge the controller, and the system freezes every time I play it.. Consistant problem since I purchased the PS3.

6ave.com is a scam company. Customer service non existeance after payment is made, absolutely ignorant, lying crooks. So called managers are more crooks. Avoid this. I had not one but two bad experiences regarding sony camcorder DCRSX41 and a pioneer receiver.

AVOID THEM. DONT FALL FOR THEIR PRICES.

I am furious with the customer service provided by Sony. My Sony Cybershot DSC-T200 was purchased for over $452 in December of 2007 and given to me for Christmas. I purchased and additional $60 worth of accessories. In January of 2009 as I was about to take pictures, the camera showed a black screen with multicolored lines on the screen. I went to the Sony help site to see what could be done to fix the problem. Nothing there was a help. I then spent some weeks trying to find a camera shop to see what could be done. No one could help and I was told that only a Sony repair facility could repair the camera. By this time it was April. I don't have the time to spend hours and days at a time to deal with a camera repair. I finally got information from the Sony site and filled out all the forms following the instructions to pay for insurance and shipping to a facility in Texas. In addition I sent a check for $141. How could I throw away a camera that cost more than $500? I had to pay the $141 and the cost of shipping and insuring the camera. The person behind the desk said they do about 12-15 ships to Sony a week! Outrageous! My camera now is soaring in cost to the $700 mark. I surely do not have a camera worth $700. We do not have that kind of money, by choice, to spend on a camera! The Cyber-Shot is not a $700.00 camera. I contacted
Mr. Mike Ehlers
Vice President for Service Operations
Sony Electronics
San Diego, Ca 92128
An assistant named Barry phoned me to say he appreciated my feedback, but too bad it took me too long to figure out what to do about the camera repair, so thanks for writing to Sony and he disconnected from me while I was talking to him. So much for customer service from Sony. It seems clear that Mike Ehlers' objective is profit for Sony at the expense of the customer.
No fair treatment for a Sony customer.

I purchased the PSP for my son. He borrows a friends game and his PSP states he needs to download a new version to run the game. He starts the download and his battery runs low and shuts down. This in turn places the PSP in a mode called BRICK. You are now unable to use the PSP. I contacted Sony and they want at least $90 to fix it. A very common problem with the PSP's and they are making money just to fix a product they know will screw up.

Just got off the phone with U.S. Sony Corp. about my PS3 issues. The second in three months mind you. I've been having problems with the system overheating. The first time around the PS3 never recovered, it simply burned up and died. After a month of waiting and an additional 150 bucks I received my system back and from what I could tell Sony replaced a few parts which included a HIGH INDUSTRIAL POWERED snow blower of a fan. This thing was so loud I couldn't hear the gameplay and it didn't help with the overheating. Two months into receiving my PS3 back from repairs the system continued to overheat and shut down. Gameplay is impossible! So, I called Sony to let them know and their answer was yes we can fix it, just pay us another 150 bucks. I've been a Sony guy since the first Playstation but no more. Goodbye Sony, hello X-BOX and Wii.

I may have just been lucky, but a few years ago my son's PSP was damaged -- totally his fault -- and the warranty had expired. We called to find out how much it would be to repair vs just buy a new one. Not only did they pay to have it shipped to them and back to us again, but they also repaired it at no cost to us!

I bought my sony SB100 from curry and after 15 months they discontinue the home theatre line. my system needs optical assembly require but they are not simply bothered and 350 quid worth of system is going waste.

sony employes doesnt solve my problem of digital cameras ...as i gone to repair my sony digital cam they doesnt understand the problem ...they dont even know what is the problem ..its so bad about sony that they doesnt know about their own products

The Sony Handy Cam has been nothing but problems for us. We have sent if off to get repaired on three different occasions. On one occasion, it was returned to us inoperable. On the other occasions, it broke within a few months. The company now refuses to offer any assistance to fix the camera or even give us a discount on the repairs. We will never purchase another Sony product because of the poor quality and poor customer service.

i lost my mobile model no:-sony k 790i on 3/05/2010 i register my complain in police station but no result till date my mobile imei no :-

sony ps 3 died after only 2 months sent in for repair to sony and it took 8 weeks to get back and 2 days later same crap power went out and did not come back on stay away from sony playstation 3 overpriced incompetent repairs and it is all a game to sony to get you to spend more freaking money on new consoles

my laptop is e series vpcea23en. inspite of a 3gb ram and 320 gb hard disk, its slow.. copying a 3gb file takes fifteen minutes. am so dissapointed with the software support on my system. too many background threads and processes running. please help me solve this. i trust the brand so i bought it even if its so costly. so please respond

Sony Service is the worsty ever. The people in Manila should be out of a job and the jobs should be brought back to the US where we know the meaning of customer service. I WILL NEVER BUY another Sony product becuase they wont even stand behind their replacement lamps. There is no way to reach an executive to voice your complaint. So once you spend your money they are done with you.

DONT BUY SONY PRODUCTS!

I bought a 2000 dollar television w/ 5 yr extended warranty and can't get hold of the company. I'm in need of repair service under warranty . Doing a little research I came up with the parent company. Accoona corporation .Was wandering if there is any thing I Can do?

Purchased a Sony 42 inch lcd tv 2 years ago, it has a blue line on the left side of the screen, I talked to sa sony customer service and was told no warrenty, I can send it out for repair. I did not expect to have to purchase another tv in just 2 years.

This is ###!, All of my information was leaked and now i cant even play online or watch netflix that i pay for !?

This is not right, And i would like some sort of compensation from sony.

Reported a line going down my TV and customer service tried trouble shooting it, but it never worked. They told me to get a new cable box and it still didnt fix line. When i called to get fixed again my warrenty was up and they would do nothing even though I reported the problem before the warrenty expired. They had me call someone out to look at it for 1oo bucks and they took one look at it(didnt even open up tv) and told me it was a 700 dollar part. Sony solution was to sell me another tv at an "extreme discount" (tv still cost 12oo - some discount LOL). They told me since no one looked at tv before warrenty expired that they could do nothing. to diagnose the problem they had me call someone out to look at it and I had to pay an extra amount of money to have someone look at it. they repair man knew what was wrong just by looking at it and i feel sony should have known from the beginning that the LCD panel was bad through my decsriptions. i spent a lot of time with customer service and the only thing they could say was "i see sir" and "try reprogramming your tv . not to mention everytime they sent an update my tv wouldnt even read it. Totally unacceptable!

How was that Sony's fault? PSN was hacked, Sony took PSN offline in order to fix the security breech, if anything you should be thanking Sony for protecting your personal information, if you think Sony caused the leak themselves, then you are mistaken

I completely loath Sony myself, but I still don't think Sony is to blame, though it could be due to insecure software to start with, in which case, yes that would be Sony's fault

I have been given the run away for more than a month on a repair to my older Sony camera. I called initially and asked if it could be fixed, they said yes within 10 days. I was told I would receive information via email on how to send them my camera. After another 2 calls and 2 days still no email after being told a second time to wait another 24 hours, I finally got a person on the phone and they said no need for the emailed form just write the information down and place in the box. On the initial call I was told the max cost of the repair and if they couldn't fix it they would return it at no cost. I followed the delivery and knew they had received it so I called after a week or so and asked about the camera. They said it was being looked at. I waited another week and called again, same story. I am also emailing too. After 4 weeks they tell me they don't have the parts at this time and don't know when they will get them... not even a clue. I wait another week. I email, call, etc. and getting finally get an email from a Carlos Keyes offering another camera for the cost of the repair to my old one. I purchased a similar camera just prior to this Christmas and have developed a few issues with it, so I sure don't want another one. I called today and this person said he was Charlie Keyes (no relation, right) said he couldn't guarantee when I can get this replacement camera. I asked to speak to a supervisor and of course... there was not one available and I asked to leave a message and the "Charlie" said he couldn't guarantee if his supervisor would call me back. I am going out west in 6 days... I need a camera. I believe these people are not telling me the truth. I have more to this story but not enough time to cover it. I have lost all respect for Sony and will NEVER buy another Sony product ever.

Sony's Skype Camera/Mic product. CMU-BR100, under compatibility list of televisions, NX500 is not shown. I have purchased NX500 just about 18months back. NX500 has a USB port. You need to ensure that all your future products become compatible at least for 5years. Do you expect us to keep buying new models every year? What is the resale value for NX500 if I want to buy the new NX720?

I too am having terrible problems with Sony Customer service and the people who I have been speaking to have been less than helpful.
Despite my issue being an error on Sony's part they seem still unwilling to help.

Is there a complaints department for UK customers?

Thank you,

On 7/9/13 I attempted to purchase a Sony experia Z tablet from the Sony Store.com. I wanted to get the Sony card in order to get the $100.00 credit on your first purchase from Sony. I applied, received an immediate approval from the Sony Card from Capital One, however, when I attempted the guest checkout, my account number dosen't appear automatically as it stats on the payment option at checkout. To get the bonus, you need to check out within 1 hour. I SPENT 2 HOURS ON THE PHONE trying to get this resolved. Sony could have cared less if I wanted to make a purchase and Capital One was no help what-so-ever. What sort of scam is this? Now I have applied for thiscard and can't make a purchase through Sony unless I use another credit card then I don't receive the $100.00 credit. I am throughly disgusted with the Sony experience. I have printed everything out and plan to persue this further.
