Sony recalls 438,000 VAIO laptops!

SONY vs AUSTRALIANS

FLOP of SONY VAIO notebooks

VAIO line of notebooks, specifically the VGN-TZ100, VGN-TZ200, VGN-TZ300 and VGN-TZ2000 series are failed,

because of "irregularly positioned wires near the computer's hinge and dislodged screw inside the hinge," are susceptible to short-circuits and overheating, possibly even posing a fire risk.

SonyVAIO sold between May 2007 and July 2008 owners in Australia are affected. Nearly Up to 4,200 Sony customers could be effected (but probably aren't), so Sony are offering a free inspection and repair to anyone who purchased a TZ laptop between May last year and July this year.
