It's really weird because I would normally check ALL avenues before sending it off to get repaired. However, in this case I think I was just embarrassed and upset that I ruined her Reader that I just wanted it to get fixed as soon as possible.
I know it was dumb of me not to try to flash it on another computer first, knowing now that it probably would have fixed it, but her computer that I was trying to flash it on wouldn't even see the reader. I guessed, maybe wrongly, that all computers would be the same. I did, however, plug it into two computers at work and neither saw the Reader. Granted I should have downloaded the firmware and tried it before sending it off.
Maybe if I'm lucky Sony will just flash the unit for me and send the same one back.
