QUOTE(y_owez @ Mar 8 2010, 10:07 PM) been away for a while now.. the battery is sorta has those "loose" same goes with the new Z. tho, it doesn't power off the device itself due to this looseness on the battery compartment. anyone knows where can i register for extra warranty ( in australia web? ) and anyone with S series ( i3 ) have problem with battery sort of " loose?" same goes with the dvd drive? and not sure about the dvd drive? loose as in not properly close in? |

QUOTE(y_owez @ Mar 10 2010, 05:33 PM) oh ok..good thing didnt make a fool asking for repair..haha dvd hmm..when its close..then like the battery..bit bouncy when i push it? like can shake.. how bout when the unplug /plug charger..my screen sure go black 1-2sec thanks! QUOTE(kimwee85 @ Mar 10 2010, 11:58 PM) dvd drive i think dun hv loose. Bout unplug, mine screen will become darker a bit only. wont black like urs. but i dunno why will like that 1. dunno we can set it or not. Anyone here know? about the dvd, ive no idea hows it should be. as for bounce abit when you push, its the same goes with mine, if i push it, it will bounce back. but it doesnt shake, tightly close anyway.and the screen goes black, it should behave to like kimwee's mention, due to changing power profile from going plug to battery. |

QUOTE(kimwee85 @ Mar 12 2010, 04:08 PM) cool that you figure it out. sorry that i cant help much since i dont own it myself. anyway, the brightness for running on battery / power adapter can be adjust on VAIO Control Center -> Power Management -> VAIO Power Management Viewer -> click "Advanced" -> click the "Display" -> click "Display brightness" -> choose your desire brightness lvl in percentage. ![]() my current power setting. 60% is enough. i dont want to burn my eyes with 100% haha y_owez: not sure why yours blink black when turn off the power adapter with battery attached inside the notebook? is kimwee behave the same? really no idea. Added on March 13, 2010, 4:42 am QUOTE(kimmiz @ Mar 11 2010, 04:21 PM) hi! i just got myself an s-series lappy. i have thre questions to ask here: i) there is for old series, like my Z series, i have the silicon keyboard protector always on use. resulting to have new looking keyboard. as for the new one, i think it will have too, maybe difficult to find and take some time. i) is there any silicon keyboard protector for the s-series like the one used apple mac? ii) do i need to install a software to monitor the laptop's temperature/ heat level? iii) if i want to upgrade the present 4gb ram to say 6gb or even 8gb, which ram should i go for? hope someone can help me to answer these questions. tks! ii) its optional. i only run this kind of software on gaming once a awhile to measure the temp, so i can modify the nvidia profile (as in my notebook use nvidia, im utilizing the nvidia power option) to run at appropriate power output so the temp is reasonable. but if you are wondering about the temp your notebook especially running games, you can use it. its a guide and a reminder for you so that you will not forcing your notebook to work hard on high/red zone (temp reading 90 ~ 100c) for quite long hours. iii) any ram would do provided you are using the same clock(800, 1066 etc) and type (ddr2, ddr3 etc).

QUOTE(kimmiz @ Mar 15 2010, 10:25 PM) tks for the tips. for monitoring tools, you can try: i don't really use my notebook for gaming but i do use it long hours for word processing, music & surfing. can u recommend a good software to monitor the temp for the the s series? err, i'm not really a tech savvy person. can u pls be more specific with the rams i.e. if i were to get kingston. which one am i supposed to look at? tks again! GPU-Z (For graphic temp): http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ Overall temp monitoring (CPU, HD, Graphic): http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php As for ram, just ensure its DDR3 SDRAM 1066MHz.

QUOTE(invisiblelim @ Mar 18 2010, 04:57 PM) hi there, i was thinking to buy the Sony VPCZ117GG/X, but currently there is no stock yet, so is it okay for me to go ahead with VPCZ116GG/B? yes if you dont want:1. FullHD 1080 reso screen on 13.1" with Adobe RGB 96% coverage 2. Core i7 3. 256GB Quad SSD RAID 0 4. 8gb DDR 3 5. Premium Carbon Fibre finish at the front lid (cosmetic) else, hold the purchase. Added on March 18, 2010, 9:26 pmbtw, had my chance to play around the new Z at store today, here the major difference from old Z: 1. Lid slightly getting sturdy, less flex and feel a lil bit thick and tough which is good. 2. Getting slimmer on the base notebook 3. Rubbery feel on the backside of notebook which i dont prefer (personal). 4. Keyboard somehow "smooth" on the surface and side of the button; and button not really too square which i believe improve to not leaving the mark on the screen (old series Z issue). *this problem is believe solve on new Z, hence check the lid rubber protector that prevent lcd screen from touching the keyboard and palmrest area.* 5. Different layout of palmrest. 6. Obviously better specs. Anyway, if you dont need much power, the VPCZ116GG/B is more than enough to cater daily needs.

QUOTE(invisiblelim @ Mar 19 2010, 10:05 AM) but the problem is, those are the thing i concern.. kinda, maybe its less "favourable" in malaysia and prolly boost price to almost 9 grand plus which way to expensive to sell i guess, not sure..but there is another thing which i most concern is, it didn't come with Blu Ray Drive, this makes me dilemma for a Price and Spec like that, without Blu Ray Drive, what a waste la.. anyway, in other country, the high end spec was exactly the same with it just + blu ray. |

QUOTE(redx @ Mar 23 2010, 12:51 AM) forgot to state.it already been charge around 9 hours afta bought i see. i hope the shop doesn't scam ya by selling the defect product.thought that oso, but all other appliances which using the wall plug, can be use normally. i think the shop stated can claim one on one within 7 days. weirdly, the vaio can be use right now, after left off half a day.if i want to claim ,how do i need to tell the problem? since it can be use right away at their shop? im going to go northpoint tomorrow for checking ,i search around google wif same prob n same spec, there someone post about it , but there no solution given. Added on March 23, 2010, 12:54 am hope so too..but the one on one within 7 days ony. just explain and demo/show the problem to them. the bold sentence already tell ya some hints.. sony warranty only 1 year warranty + 3 months (by registering the product at mysony web). the 7 days policy doesnt even exist/stated by them.
