Remote Problems with N910

I've only had my N910 for a month and already I'm having problems. Whenever I turn volume down with my remote control, sometimes *randomly* it either:

1) Changes mode of play to Play 1 Track (presses Playmode once)

2) Volume goes up (!!)

3) Goes to next Group (presses Group+ button once)

4) Skips 10 Tracks forwards (presses Group+ button once)

5) Turns off sound settings (presses Sound button once)

90% of the time the volume down works properly but when things do go wrong with the remote, it does one or two of those things listed above. Last night I used the lever to change the track and "TOC Error" appeared and did an end search! It wasn't a TOC Error because I pressed play again and changed tracks to the start and it worked properly. Also, when I change tracks with the unit, it can go backwards instead of forwards or skip to tracks, but it hasn't done that recently. I've checked all connections to the remote and unit and it didn't fix the problem. I have not modded my N910 either. This issue is really getting on my nerves :evil: and I don't want it repaired (I want it replaced). What can I do??

You didn't try a hack on it, right?

Also, try a different battery. I doubt it could be related, but it's worth a shot. About you're sentiments of not having it repaired or replaced, then it's straight to the bin, because from what you're stating it sounds like it may possibly need a repair. If you're under warranty, then I don't understand what the issue could be. If you're NOT under you're warranty, then you can either have it repaired through Sony or you can start considerations for another unit.

Sorry about your luck, but did any thing happen [that sticks out in your mind] to the unit before these errors occured?

this has something to do with the internal remote connectors...sometimes they would hit the wrong pad thing and the wrong msg is sent to the unit and it does what u described above...this happens from time to time on my N1's and N10's remote...but not that often...if you take the remote apart you will see how the connectors are lined up with the buttons and sometimes it does something wierd and the wrong message is sent...that's what i think anyway, i could be wrong...
