The life depends on the usage and the intesity that is used but it the electronics that can show up faults in about 3-5 years time.... and the models keep changing for the better.

CVV2 is short for "card verification value 2", and it's the three-digit number you find on the back of a credit or debit card near the signature area. The value is derived from the card number but doesn't appear on the face. The idea is that someone may randomly generate a credit card number, or copy the card number from a good card, but unless they have the CVV2 number the card can't be used. The error you got means the CVV2 value didn't match the expected one for the card number.

You would need to re-install the audio driver for your sound card but I've check the Sony Website (link below) and their doesn't appear to be any drivers for Windows 7 for your model.

You could try using the Windows XP or Vista Drivers but I expect they won't work.

You only option would be to purchase and Install another Sound Card that. Probably best looking on eBay, but make sure it's Windows 7 compatible.


Please leave feedback.

check the settings on the PS3 are set to hdmi not av or componant

lcd reader on face plate is bad

Its your receiver, not your tv! Switch receivers and it will go away!

If the problem was blown "output transistors" expect a cost of about $6-$8 per transistor (there are 4 total in the receiver) plus a few bucks for an emitter resistor and perhaps $2 each for the driver transistors (4 max per receiver). Also add in the local labor rate.
Please note that these are estimates and that additional parts may be required depending upon how smoked the output section actually is.

Hi,

Good enws is yout unit is not fried. Bad news is you need to get the protection fuse replaced...

This one is tough one. It soundslike you have lost the connection between the flip face and the main head unit. I suggest you pull the head unit and get it to a bench for closer investigation. Look for and tears in the connecting wire harness between the Flip control, and the main Unit.
