However, when we try to recycle products like cell phones or cameras, suppliers 'jack-up' the cost of these spares in an effort to convince users to purchase a new phone or camera, obliging us to send perfectly good products with minor defects to land-fill! This is, of course, totally unacceptable! It's about time that Governments legislated this area to ensure that manufacturers have a duty to provide spare parts at a maximum of 30% above cost and not at 150% above which seems to be where manufacturers pitch these components today! OK, end of rant! I've subsequently been able to repair the a200, so the hunt is on again for a spare LED screen!īTW, thanks for the 'Kudos' which is I'm sure, totally undeserved! But, thanks anyway.

Thanks Sony, but that's emphatically NOT what I asked for! I'm perfect capable of changing the screen myself! The camera isn't under guarantee, unless Sony quietly upped the guarantee period to five years! While there is a 'recomended' supplier for Sony camera parts, the don't have the LCD screen, which let's face it is a 'consumable' if you take the camera outdoors and worse still, they seem to be primarily stockists of Nikon parts! Now to the help! Can anybody on the forum connect me with a UK based company who does keep stock of Sony Alpha parts? I'd be greatly indebted as apart from the Far East suppliers on eBay who only stock the OEM parts from AUO, I've literally run out of alternatives! Cheers to all Mango Bicheīy way of an update, I used the LCD screen from a non-working Alpha 200 to repair this camera. I've asked Sony for a list of UK companies who stock parts for Sony Cameras, and I'm specifically looking for a replacement LCD screen for the Alpha a350.
