    Hello everyone. Both of my usb ports are fidgety (sp?) and are getting worse. What is involved in replacement and where do I find the parts/price?

    Heh, the mic-in port on my SZ140 completely disconnected. The solder joints just snapped.

    I don't know if there's much you can do except send it in to Sony for replacement, and they will want to replace the entire mainboard. Or you can try and resolder it yourself.
