another option , get another one for 200 on sale and that way you get NEW ONE. Sounds like a lot of work and hassle to go through. You did drop it and you are in different country , if it was in warranty, and you were in USA you might be covered.

If it was me, I would buy NEW one and get zippered cover for it, I got the armor all cover, and just be more careful.

Maybe someone else here has other options , like replacing the part with pictures of how to do it, or some other fix, but, if not, bite the bullet and have peace of mind. Going through the ebay guy or waiting for friend to come to usa sounds like many things could go wrong. Also, sony might give you replacement but it would not be NEW it would be a refurb, another one that they "fixed" with used battery in it.

p.s. Have your friend bring the prs-505 into this country, tell him to buy you another one on sale, dump that old one and have your friend bring back NEW to you, bypass customs import fees and extra shipping costs, since he left with prs-505 and came back with prs-505.
