I did google it. I called Sony and they tried some quick troubleshooting that amounted to nothing and then told me that the 80G was discontinued and my warranty voided prematuraly. Nice.
I'm calling EB now where I bought in 2008 about the extended warranty, otherwise Sony wants to charge me $187 to fix it. At that point I may as well buy a new and smaller one. The only other option I found online was formatting it myself, but i'm not sure how to do that - remove the hard drive, plug it into my computer and format from there? I am not sure.
Has anyone gone this far with this problem or have any other suggestions? Thanks
