| yinyin's Full Review: Sony VAIO V505BX PC Notebook |
I bought my sony vaio pcg v505bx 2 years ago, and paid almost 2000 dollars. Last week, It just died on me, no power getting in at all. I had a service center check it for me, and they told me the motherboard had some problems. Because sony had everything combined in motherboard, there is no way to fix it but to replace the whole motherboard. Sony asks for $525 for a motherboard, plus labor fee required by the service center, it will be over $700.
Of course, my warranty has expired. Normally, they only give 1 year warranty.
Additionally, the guy from service center said he had seen a lot of sony vaio computers have this problem with motherboard, and there is no way to deal with it.
so, buy sony computer only if you have too much money to burn.
