VAIO TZ Recall
Some unfortunate news were released today regarding the recall of VAIO TZ notebooks. It has been reported on CNN and other online sources that certain VAIO TZ models (TZ100, 200, 300 and 2000 series in the US) may overheat and cause burns. Irregularly positioned wires near the computer’s hinge and/or a dislodged screw inside the hinge can cause a short circuit and overheating. This poses a burn hazard to consumers.
To find out if your VAIO notebook is one of the affected units, please visit this link: http://esupport.sony.com/fixmypc. You will be prompted to input your product code and serial number located on the bottom of the notebook. It will be checked automatically against the range of affected units. If you find that your PC is one of the affected models, follow the instructions on the website and make arrangements for an inspection. You may also call our VAIO TZ customer hotline at 
1-888-526-6219
to determine whether your notebook computer is affected by this issue and whether service is required.
At no charge, Sony will provide an inspection and, if necessary, on-site repair at your home or office. Alternatively, you can ship your notebook to our service center. You will also get an extended 2 year warranty.
what’s truly disappointing about this is that despite the killer products released in the last few weeks this will overshadow the majority of it in the mainstream media.
Actually, it ain’t too bad.
Partly because, from my observation, sony customers, though normally not as savvy, are actually more mature and sophisticated than customer’s from other brands, so it’s not all doom and gloom and the whole sky will come crashing down kinda thing.
Thank god ^^
Disclaimer: If I have to put a disclaimer here to appease those of you who feel that my above point-of-view is descriminating towards customers of other brands…than you have perheps proven my point.
