How stupid can one be? I dropped my installation cd and it broke in two. Any idea if Sony can help?
Thank you!

Hi DrGeld

Welcome to Club vaio.

If you contact Vaio-Link they will be able to supply a new recovery set but unfortunatly the cost is approximately €70.

Surely Sony can't be charging so much for a Clie installation CD. They don't even make Clie's anymore and probably have a shed full of CD's. I have a TH55, TJ37 and a N770C. I can't sync them all using the TH55 PIM. If Sony would grant permission I would be happy to send a copy of the installation CD to you. If not you might be able to buy a broken Clie with installation CD for very little on ebay.

Thalamus,

I think you'll find that VAIO-Link do not support the Clié, it's Clié-Link who do that, but sadly the European division has closed. The only way to get any help is by hoping someone has one for sale on eBay.

Remember to always backup important CDs for personal use

No problem - my post came over a bit hostile looking back, sorry my intentions were not that at all.

Sales for Clie is closed for a while now, but that does not mean support is not available anymore. I wouldnt be too surprised to get to the same people as on the Vaio line either.

If you check the contacts area of Vaio-link.com, you find the phone numbers for Clie support as well.
