Perhaps if you know someone that is a bit handy with electronics they can open it up and check the solder joints on the USB port and resolder them if they are broken.

Thanks guys~

I think I will try the SONY service first, but the odd thing is I bought it in states and I'm living in Canada, I'll see if they can fix it with free of charge.

Well, I probably gonna open it if I can find some handy tools to un-hook the power switch

thanks again~
