I spent most of the afternoon on the telephone with Sony.  I can’t get my memory stick to work.  It doesn’t show up as a device in “my computer”.  I did a complete Vio recovery and still no indication I have a “memory stick”.  I think the hardware module has gone bad? 

I have also lost the battery led it stopped working about the same time the Memory Stick disappeared.  Any ideas?

Just a guess.  But it could be a defective memory sitck.  I had a usb pen drive go bad on me and did the same thing.  Besides the light thingy.

Definitely sounds like hardware. Did you open up the TR yourself? Sounds like you didn’t reconnect something properly. Otherwise, you might want to convince Sony or the store you bought it from to take it back.

the led light for the tr won’t come on unless it is on battery.(just making sure) have you tried other memory sticks?(most likely its not bad media but just to be positive) this happened to me as well right after my bt mod. i had to open it up to verify all the connections as well as reinstall the ms slot driver.
