I doubt that's true, especially the part about Sony support. But if true, you can replace the battery, which was my point when posting the comment.

They first said to contact a reseller. I then asked who, they pointed me at a distributor, who replied and said they only work with their resellers and aren’t involved in direct customer replacements. Back to Sony who were surprised, then suggested I look at the Sony website. The list consisted of a couple of companies that don’t exist any more, PC World, etc. contacting a few of the companies that did exist (eg lord electrical) no repairs.

As for replacing the battery, I don’t have the skills. Cutting into electronics isn’t my skill set.

Agreed. Once had to deal with Sony customer care. This was enough experience for me to never buy Sony again. They just ignore you and say the problem is not theirs to fix and leave you empty handed. Horrible customer service
