OutBREAKing

Wow.. I got a shock of my life when my cousin told me that there were recalls of vaios. THe outbreaking news has been spreading like wildfire and sony vaio appeared as the one of the top search results today. Quickly i browsed thru all the related articles n found out that sony shares has toppled to the lowest of its history due to the incident.

Luckily, my vaio is not among those who are applicable n eligible for a voluntary replacement. It was said that the problem is related to “irregularly positioned wires near the computer’s hinge and/or dislodged screw inside the hinge” that can cause a short circuit and overheat. And Sony has initiated a voluntary programme to perform a free inspection and, if necessary, a repair to ensure these units meet its high-quality standards. Thank GOd, my NOT EVEN ONE MONTH OLD baby is not 'lucky' for this. Onli the TZ series are involved, n i think most of it r from the US. N could u imagine, the TZ series ranges from 7-8k?? HOw frustating would it be when u have spend loads of money to buy a laptop and it ended up with problems, worries, and hassles. THis is such a disappointing news for the consumers and embarrassing news for sony ya. They wil need years to build up their reputation again, especially when this is not a first recall.

BUt anyway, is this going to act as a warning light for all vaio products hmm? As there might be problems or defects that r not inspected yet for other series? OH dear, SHud i start worrying bout my vaio every now n then n have a fire extinguisher with me most of the time. Now it's a very sad case, it's such a lovely notebook with such a charming n impressive outlook =(
