Same problem here, Sony are CU**'s wouldn't even look at mine, in warranty period, was told probably let it get too hot or too dusty. Going to go to the shop and kick off so they send it back or swap.

mate it wont be a new one, they have new covers all new pastic on them etc but they use yours to fix the problem and fit new covers etc and then yours gets sent out for the next person and so on. Thus you get a 60g

Quite common problem. mines been ok so far touch wood but amnow aiting for my laser to go

my mate did get offered a new 40g + cash back or the 60
