honestly, I don't think you'll get a new one.

Damage due to water accidents is not hard to recognize and it isn't covered by warranty.

so I think they'll repair it (if possible) and if your unlucky they'll charge you too

greetz

This for the first time i have heard someone droping a walkman in the toilet bowl

I hope they will repair your player under warrenty ,but the chances are very less .

Well, it was pretty much a signed/sealed/delivered certainty that that would never have passed through an RMA claim

Having handled lots of RMA's before, and having a keen eye for dodgy RMA claims (you'd be amazed what some people have tried to BS me with over user-inflicted 'accidental' damage, and were highly offended when i failed to fall for the BS), it's damned easy to spot water-damage without even getting the unit apart

Whilst it's the first Sony i have heard of that fell into a toilet bowl, it's not the first DAP mind i have come across.

Actually, items getting water damaged that way is not unusual - in fact, according to one of my friends in the insurance game, it's one of the greatest circumstances that covers why a lot of water-damaged cellular phones get claimed for

Yep, definately these are covered by 'act of god' and user-incompentency clauses protection clauses when it comes to warranty and accidental damage cover

Mind you, if you think water damage is gried, try opening up phones and stuff that's been a victim of the old cat urine

Cat Urine... about two steps short of HydroChloric Acid for it's damage potential.. and it stinks the room out - that's why if i have to try to repair a CU damaged phone or kit, i open it up and leave it out in the fresh air (in a box, away from the elements) in the back yard for a few hours.. then, if it aint obviously an electrical writeoff, i might waste some hours trying to repair.

Mind you, that said, it's almost a certainty that CU has done irrepairable damage.

Claws are the cat's no.1 hidden weapon, but everyone forgets the urine.. no.2 hideous hidden weapon

Lol, hey cat do you work for Sony or something, you know alot about their "innerworkings".

Funny story, its really too bad its true. And that's why you don't bring your mp3 player into the toilet when you take a dump.
