Are you talking CRT, Plasma or LCD?. Mitsumi (assuming that's what you meant?), make 'components' such as RF modulators, tuners, and sometimes PSU's - I've seen Mitsumi PSU's in some VCR's. Most Plasma sets also use bought-in PSU's, and (obviously) bought-in PDP's - also Sony don't make LCD panels, although most they use are made by S-LCD, which Sony own 50% of - one share, and Samsung own 50% + one share.

If my memory serves me right it was a newer 15" sony CRT(forget what year), yes i know they make parts, but just about the entire board was mishumi parts, it wasn't labeled at all, except for the model #. Looked more like a damn sanyo than a sony. They're getting cheap anymore, hell I owned a sony VCR a couple years ago, the menu(main) IC was shot. It wasn't lightening I always disconnect external sources everytime we get a lightning storm. Pretty much it was beyond repair because the specialty parts cost more to order than buying a new one. Then after repairing about 8 playstation 2's I kinda lost hope in the company, nothing like overpriced crap! and yes playstation is a one giant piece, i wouldn't be surprised if PS3 is just as crappy.

If it was a genuine Sony product?, and wasn't made by Sony, then it's presumably USA specific? - probably just pandering to the American market for cheaper and cheaper junk.

As for your VCR, I suspect you completely mis-diagnosed the problem, assuming it was made by Samsung (as all recent European Sony VCR's have been), then it just needed the mempry resetting - a simple procedure from the remote control. To give a permanent cure though, the main microprocessor requires replacing, but these are available at VERY low cost.

As for PlayStation's, it's not a Sony UK product, it's Sony USA, and nothing to do with Sony UK
