[Avid-L2] Re: What the hell is going on at Sony Repair?

 

Yoiu might check with the Sony Broadcast Service hotline that can help with operations questions of broadcast equipment.  Perhaps it's a moot point if they've discontinued service, which I don't understand.  Will they no longer fix PVM-20 L5s?  I haven't looked into that as I don't have any.

Sony Broadcast Helpline is:
800 883-6817 Ext 252

if that doesn't work try:
201 833 5331

If nothing else maybe they can point you in a direction.  I forget when I got my 2541 but I think it was around 2011.  Seems like that should still be serviceable.  Isn't it something like at least 7 years of manufacturer service availability on big ticket items.  Maybe I'm wrong on that.

I hope I'm not too judgy, being a leftie, but sometimes an accent leads me to be very annoyed, especially when I call a local number, yet am clearly reaching a call center (plenty of voices in the background) and have to repeat myself and/or speak extra loud so they can hear me.

Anyway, according to the person who I spoke with, they've just discontinued service ('a memo just last week') for my not-very-old PVM2541, which seems to have developed a power supply problem. Anyone know where I can get this fixed in the Los Angeles area?

Ahrg.

After posting here I also received an email from ProSupport@Sony stating that they DO still work on the PVM2541 at the Carson facility, so that's good news.

Well, it won't help you any Greg, but I work on those Sony monitors frequently.

Disregard. TekMedia says they can probably do it. I've used them before.

Still, the RANT about Sony is valid! And please, if you have other suggestions, say so.

Re: [Avid-L2] Mac OS Sierra

that link will open a web page that opens your app store to high sierra, which you can then download. I would make a bootable thumb drive, were I you.. (We're sticking with 12.6 as long as we can get away with it.)
