I don't f***ing believe it!
Those ba****ds at Sony have just sent me an invoice to the tune of £114.56 for the repair to the camera.
They are trying to tell me that it wasn't the same problem that is covered by the free repair service, it's a flexi-tube(?) that's come lose. Massive coincidence that a flexi-tube coming lose has the same impact on the camera as the LCD chip malfunctioning (free repair service) isn't it!
They have gone a head and done the work on the camera without even asking me if I wanted to proceed with the repairs at the cost.
I'm waiting for someone from their service department to get in touch as I got no sense out of the first muppet I spoke to!
Free repair service my a**e, I thought it was to good to be true!
