broken usb port

Does anyone know where to send a sony xperia x10a for repair The usb port is broken Its rooted reckon be safe to send to SE
Where you bought it?
The same thing happened to me, i just contacted the ones who sold it to me and said that it wouldnt charge, and they fixed it. (That is actually a problem with the Xperia)
So my advice is: Contact the people who sold it to you, and say it wont charge

Hi,
I have the same problem. But when I sent back my x10 mi-December to SE, I got it back 2 weeks later without repair. The said that the usb connector is broken and it's not covered by the warranty. Now, I have contacted my vendor directly and I am waiting for their answer.
The usb problems seems very common with the x10. If the vendor won't repair the phone, I will try to take legal action against them and SE. I have already contacted a government service here in France and they told me that they should repair it.
Is there some else who managed to get his phone repaired?

International Warranties?

Hi there
I bought my Atrix online, I live in Australia.
Now I have problem with the phone I took to the moto repair shop they said they can't fix it as it does not have an Australian label on the back! and it's not a OZ stock!
I'm still 6 months warranty according to me IEMI number but it's based on US!
What do u guys suggests? can I post it to US motorola? possible?
Advice needed
IMO, you should call up Motorola customer service during their normal business hours.
what is wrong with your phone though? it might be cheaper just to do the repairs yourself.
It's not loading/starting up.

Report of an unhappy customer in Brazil

I'm having some troubles with my SE X10 Mini: sim card not been recognized and device turns off and doesn't turn on again. I've sent my device to an authorized technical assistant (GlobalExpress - don´t go there) and the attendent said that in two days I could call to approve or not the service. I tried to call many times and just after ten days they reported that device has no problems at all and it just needed software repair. They wanted to charge about U$40 bucks to do that! Are they crazy? I can just do that with SEUS or PC Companion as we know.
When I picked up device I noted that it was not working. The technician examined the device in front of me and reported that somehow battery connector was broken, they would not repair this issue and said to send device to a NON AUTHORIZED technical assistant. WHAT??? They should fix any kind of problems as they have Sony Ericsson feedback to do that and I would pay for service as warranty has gone. In Brazil we have a customer law wich says that none business store could denied service for customers who pay for. I tried to argue with Sony Ericsson Brazil but no success. After a post on facebook they responded that after sales team would get in contact with me. I'm waiting to see what they want.
In resume: Sony Ericcson is joking with us, customers. Now I have a commitment that I'll never buy ANY SONY OR SONY ERICSSON device in future because they are not a serious enterprise.
This is just a report of an unhappy customer in Brazil.
Ish bro... I live in belo Horizonte too... have you tried to take your phone to another authorized technical assistant?
I think you need to bring it to SE Service center, not these type of service center cause I don't know what the hell is it. It does not appear in my country as the name "Global(????)"
nit3wolf, it´s the only authorized here in BH, unfortunately.
silveraero, It's the name of a SE Service Center. I've translated as we say here.. my bad. Maybe service center would be nicer than authorized technical assistant. thanks
well..that's disappointing as well as embarrassing, actually what i think is those guyz are frustated with their own jobs. (you know just sitting infront of a pc and f*****g with customers.).If you got law,man go for it,SUE THEM.!
It is true that Japanese and Korean companies are not as service oriented as they ought to be. If it is their product (which clearly it is) they had the obligation to service it if the warranty still applies.
If they clearly see parts damaged by other 3rd-party repairers, they should show that to you and inform you of the cost for that part itself. The physical proof cannot be disputed. But clearly, service centres such as these always wanted to avoid taking in products to fix. This runs contrary to their existence.

[Q] Service center in US

Does anyone know where the Sony service center is located in the US?
I got the yellow screen problem and need to get it fixed.
They probably won't fix the screen since they dun even have xperia s in us
I'd have to agree with the above post. It must be sent back to country where purchased.
That is what i was afraid of.
I would have to wait until July for service. I think July is when the phone is supposed to go on sale in the US.

Warranty Question.

Hi looked around and can't find this information anywhere.
I bought my Z2 from Taiwan does Sony UK cover it under warranty?
Flap for Sim card keeps reopening which is quiet annoying and dont want to send it all the way back just to fix a flap.
Thanks for help

I don't think there is a clear answer for this. I have a significant issue that apparently requires mine to be sent in for service. I tried Sony US first, and they told me that they'd have no problem servicing it...if they had the parts. They said because its not released here yet, they don't have the parts and would be unable to service it for now. So I contacted Sony UK, they emailed saying the warranty is region specific and gave me a shipping address to send it to them, but clearly it sounded like they hadn't looked up my IMEI. I was worried I'd encounter a problem, so I did a live chat to the UK and she confirmed that I'd have to send it to Taiwan. Either center would be out of my pocket for shipping. Which I'm sure is going to cost over $100.
Anyway, to sum up an answer. From the US rep perspective it seems like as long as a center has the parts and the phone released, they'd be able to service it. From the UK rep, not so much. I get the feeling if you call and cause a stink, maybe Sony UK would take it? Otherwise, I think you are going to have to send it to Taiwan like me.
