and anyone with S series ( i3 ) have problem with battery sort of " loose?" same goes with the dvd drive?

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.
and not sure about the dvd drive? loose as in not properly close in?

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.

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.

hi! i just got myself an s-series lappy. i have thre questions to ask here:

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!
*
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.
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).

tks for the tips.

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!  biggrin.gif

for monitoring tools, you can try:
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.

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.

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..
anyway, in other country, the high end spec was exactly the same with it just + blu ray.

thought that oso, but all other appliances which using the wall plug, can be use normally. hmm.gif
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?  rclxub.gif
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.

i see. i hope the shop doesn't scam ya by selling the defect product.
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.

Usually they give an option to either get the sling bag or the backpack when purchasing the notebook. The backpack is not for sale, but you can still buy it anyway via SonyCentre.

thats kinda minimal anyway, and pretty much the same like mine, usually power on, the batt lvl shows at 97 ~ 96%.
and as for the bag, just buy yours a backpack, e.g: golla, crumpler etc.

the non optical drive use hdd drive instead of ssd. due to smaller space at the ssd drive, the hd is now place at the optical drive area.

QUOTE(Bugeca @ Mar 30 2010, 12:18 PM)
There is nothing there, just an empty space. You can see the metal (some kind of metal chassis) thru the air vent. The slot is covered nicely with a blank plate. Been thinking to find the part and put it inside there but have to wait till the warranty period over and if I could find the original drive.

Hi All,

Just bought VPCZ115GG, the cheapest Z series. Funny part is.... this model does not come with optical drive  duhhhh cry.gif Maybe they wanted to keep this model to 1.4kg limit and sub 6K notebook. Next model which has it (116) is about 1.7K more which has less storage size but faster (SSD + RAID), extra 2GB RAM and optical drive.

I've been looking for external slim DVDRW. Sony has it but in specification page it requires AC adapter. Anybody can suggest other brand which is USB powered? I still like Sony (coz of matching brand  biggrin.gif ) but carrying two AC adapters will contribute to overall carrying weight and the hassle to find power point just to use the optical.

Thanks in advance.

anyway, welcome to the club smile.gif

honestly speaking, i rarely use optical drive on my Z, i can count it, im using like below than 20 times roughly including the first time to create VAIO recovery disc lol.. today, most people opt to use just usb storage. but sometime you never know when you need to use optical drive. e.g: backup, installing new software.

OK, my result as below
- Yesterday 12/04/2010 fully charged 100% at 11pm.
- Today 13/04/2010 12:30pm boot from Stamina Mode, checked 98%. Loss 2% when the battery detach/attach from the system.
- Now 13/04/2010 11:45pm boot from Stamina Mode, checked 96%. Loss another 2% when the battery detach/attach from the system.

vmad.gif My system conclusion - even detach from the system, it will loss 4% per day, is that all the notebook is same ? Or the windows battery meter is inaccurate ?  rclxub.gif
Or perhaps I do not notice on others notebook ?
*
thats seem normal, usually its decrease to 97% after load everything till Windows. and theres battery issues with Windows 7 e.g: inaccurate reading etc.
