Just want to say i've experienced similar problems with sony products. I've had a few sony products break on me in the last few years. Sony used to be known for being great quality and long lasting, but I think that's no longer the case. Maybe it's just their low-end stuff like hand-held music players, etc.
It's like levi's jeans, my parents still have pairs from when they were my age but i doubt mine will last that long. It guess it doesn't make economic sense for levi's to sell me 1 pair that lasts 30 years, makes more sense to sell me 6 pairs every 5 years? So they don't make them to last as long. Planned obsolescence i suppose.
