I cant start pulling cards as the warrany will become void. the technical help has not been very helpfull so far. still waiting for a response from them. . . . john<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Jan 2007 09:42:53 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/standby-problems/m-p/95054#M24061 Whitewing 2007-01-03T09:42:53Z
