I called Sony Pro Tech Support at (866) 766-9272 and arranged to send them
my camera. I had a UPS Store professionally pack it and ship it, (I wanted
them to open that package and say, "Dude, this guy would never drop his
camera!") insured it for replacement cost (new PD170 from B&H is about
$2700). Sony Service in Teaneck NJ determined that it was not damaged from
being dropped (whew!) and told me they would fix it up and send it back.

I paid $609.50 including return shipping and it is just like new. They
replaced the power switch but they fixed at least a couple of other things -
new drum and now no hum in the audio which I had been dealing with for
several years. This is quite a good program according to me!

I think that there is a flat-rate repair deal for just about every piece of
Sony gear. There is a different place to call for Pro & Pro-sumer. If you
call the wrong one, they will give you the right number.
