Instead of going through COMA, see if it helps by just going to Setting->Prefs->Network and selecting Wireless LAN, Details..., Scan. It's a little more cumbersome this way, but I've never had problems finding a wifi signal (assuming there is one, of course. . .) __________________ CURRENTLY OWN: sj33 x4 + tg50 x4 + msb1 x2 + kb20 x2 + tj27 + nx80v + th55/e1 x2 CURRENTLY USING: th55/e1 + 2GB ms + cc5 + trv80 + SYNC a707

Just to let you know that I have no trouble going through CoMa per your method. Some people did have bad WiFi radio. I had to replace their motherboards. However, I can't do it for TH55/E1s as they are hard to get and very expensive. __________________ Vx, M500, N760P, NX70V/U, NX73V/U, NZ90/U, SL10/U, SJ30/U, T415, T615C, TJ25/U, TJ27/U, TJ35/E1, TH55/U, TH55/E1, TH55/E2, UX40/U, UX50/U, UX180P, iPhone, iPhone3G

Yes - I did. I had two TH55's replaced under warranty for this problem in the first year (both E1 models). If I remember correctly, the symptoms were attempting to use Wi-Fi caused the device to freeze with the Bluetooth light on.

It may be worth trying Sony in Europe to see if they do a fixed price repair here.
