I fell on my ass the other day because I slipped on ice walking down the street.  My TR3AP was in my bag, and I opened it up later to discover that the little nub on the lower-right side of the screen was depressed and that the case had cracked near the on/off button.  So, I’m looking for a new TR3AP face plate.  Does anyone know where I can get this?

There is a parts manual somewhere on this site that will help you with the part #, if not, call their 800#.

Good luck,
Erik

It was a normal backpack from north face called the “Borealis”.  My TR was inside a neoprene slip case next to my books.

Thanks, man.  Do you think that one would say PCG-TR3AP in the top left corner, or some other model number?

Sorry to hear about your laptop . That sort of thing should never happen to any one .While we are at the topic of Sony Direct Part centre it is possible to order to Canada or its a United States only as i have tried and the web browser doesnt let me put in a Candian Zip Code . Appreciate any help thanks alot

Yes, it is only for the US orders.
Re the faceplace and the model number sticker apprearing on it, I think there also exists a part number for a specific model, you will have to confirm it with your particular TR model service manual. Ebay sells those manuals for $5.00 and it is also available through download when you pay. I bought one recently from “manualdepot” http://stores.ebay.ca/Manual-Depot
:wink:

Are those service manuals in its original pdf format or rather scanned pdf?

The one I got for the X505 was in original PDF, very clean. You may always email them to find out.

Thanks.
