    Hi.

    One of my rubber feet is gone and the others are wearing down fast. I only managed to find some online for the Mac but they don't fit. Any other suggestion where I can find them? So annoying. Can't be bothered to ring Sony. :cool:

    Hehe, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's bothered by missing rubber feet. I can't believe these manufactureres can't make them the way they used to, which is with sliding channels, so they are easy to replace. The glue doesn't stay on long with all that bottom heat.

    Anyway, they are available from Sony, I had Dynamism order mine, but was quoted $5 each! :eek:

    They are really poorly made. My Acer ones lasted forever and didn't fall off so quickly like these ones. They're too soft and yeh the glue doesn't hold. Just can't be bothered with Sony customer support. Bet it'll be a battle to get through or make me pay for them at ridicolous prices.

    I almost thought about using my glue gun and putting a drop inside it? :p

    If your rubber feet fall off the majority of reps at any level will identify it as an issue that is not covered by your warranty.

    In any case, you bought Sony, so you asked for the high prices!

    Strange, the rubber feet on my 320 are still as new as the first day.

    Well I'm looking for any type of rubber feet at the moment as a replacement so it won't rub against the laptop base, but the smallest ones I found are like massive for Desktops! :(

    My CR had one of the feet fall off. Luckily, I noticed it and superglued it back on.
