Well guys, I finally managed to get hold of a "as new" sony 2010 in my local
paper. I am very pleased with it indeed.
I couldn;t imagine me repairing the fets on the other one, so I fell lucky
and got this one at a good price.
So I finally have a 2010 in near mint condition at last.
I am to return the faulty one to the guy who I bought it off on ebay, he was
very good over it, he gave me a full refund, so all ended happily for me.
cheers all
Roger
