they would refuse to fix it and for the priviledge of looking at it they would charge you a 'service charge' and of course double the return shipping rates too. its at this point your cheaper buying a new one from a shop. sony, like all major companies, will not entertain you if you have done the slightest thing to viod the warranty. the problem i have with sony is that the firmware may, or may not, be the cause of the problem. i think sony should consider revising there warranty because they know people will install custom firmware - and they have the ability to remove it anyway. not to mention that if the fault is hardware the custom firmware installed may not even matter.
