Don't mind the premium number, they'll be able to sort the purchase pretty quickly.</P><P>Visit this link: <A href="http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/contacts/index.aspx?m=PCG-Z1XSP&amp;l=en_GB">http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/contacts/index.aspx?m=PCG-Z1XSP&amp;l=en_GB</A></P><P>Click on "Click here for further contact options", enter your serial number and you'll see the phone number.</P><P></P><P>Message was edited by: stephanius</P><P>Message was edited by: stephanius</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Jul 2011 18:00:25 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/pcg-z1xsp/m-p/230932#M40367 stephanius 2011-07-07T18:00:25Z
