If your claim is denied or out of warranty

Common reasons Sony denies a claim or treats it as out of warranty:

Lack of valid proof of purchase (e.g., original sales receipt).
Damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, fire, water, or other acts of nature.
Product has been modified, altered, tampered with, or repaired by unauthorized service personnel.
Cosmetic damage that does not affect functionality.

Third-party protection plans (Asurion, Upsie, SquareTrade) or your credit card's purchase protection may still cover a repair or replacement — check those before paying out of pocket.
