The FW series claimed they improve a lot over their reverse style hinge.

SONY, I heard a few of bad sharings from my frens as well, but I still get the FW anyway.
1) the VAIO CS user, claim there's something wrong with the fan, sent in 4 times, the problem come back unsolved (few week ago).
2) an ex-admin staff work in the repair centre (Pg), witness the incapability of the technician there (3 yrs ago)

Sometime, u have to personally see the scenario to judge it. Despite of so many DELL fans, my past ex[erience with the DELL XPS is kinda awful too, the build quality, the performance... But I muz say this, DELL after-sale service is splendid!
SONY, no doubt it has the finest material I ever seen, after Apple's.
Goto the show room, see & get a hold of the SONY, then other brands, Acer, Asus, Lenovo, Compaq... u name it.
Feel it, compare it, since the built material is what u can feel/judge on the spot.

Juz my suggestion~


Added on November 9, 2009, 1:26 pmHmm... Sony FW rm3599 (16.4") have a similar spec with NW rm2999 (15.5").

Maybe u can consider this too?

Yes, it is true, i own cs16g which i bought it on dec 2008. Up to this moment, i had sent in for 5 times (4 of it was the fan problem). Affected model (admitted by sony) were CS1 series and CS2 series, but i saw some video from youtube that even CS3 series have the same problem.

Seriously i'm damn pissed by this, there are few forums on the net discussing about this problem, and none of them are happy with their cs. This is my first and last vaio i'm going to own

U should gather petition to against irresponsible feedback by SONY instead since it's so obvious a SONY's common defect.

Either they fix the prob, or they recall & replace with a prob-free unit.

Do tell me if u want my fren's contact. I believe she's very glad if u do that~

I've tried my very best to locate the INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY for my FW purchase in US.
But all in vain.

Seems they not include the INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY in their every sale. I wonder why is that happening to a international company?

Even an ASUS oso providing 2 yrs global warranty.

1 thing I realize, their customer service do not being helpful at all (US side).

Am I getting a VAIO without any proper warranty by the time I bring back to M'sia? It's total madness!!!

thanks for your suggestion, now my laptop is working fine, if the same problem strikes again then i'm going to do something big brows.gif . About your problem, sorry i don't know anything about international warranty, maybe someone with experience here can help you biggrin.gif

Was using my CS36GJ model just now, loud noise came from the upper left part of the laptop......the area where the ventilating fans are.....

And more vigorous vibration can be felt from that area.......

The laptop can still be used normally but the noise is freaking me out.....
The condition continued for a few minutes then only returned back to normal.......

I wonder what prob can this be??? HDD??? Or the fan???Or anything else???

By the way, I also realized that the CPU usage % is up to 60-80% all the time, eventhough I didn't open any applications......

Just wanna know if any CS model user has experience the same problem as me before.....

Hi there, i'm a cs16g owner. To tell you frankly, i have been suffered from this problem for about 11 months, and had been sent to sony service centre for at least 4 times or more. Sony had admitted the fan got problem, but did not mention cs3 series are affected. Recently my fan also start to make same old noise, but this time the noise is very soft and only happens on the first few cycles (have to put my ear near the heat vent to hear). I tried to make my complain to sony several times and today they finally called me and will send a technician to my house to check my laptop (after i wrote something on my email). If everything goes smooth, probably they will replace me a new laptop. finger crossed nod.gif

Wow.....that's really troublesome......

But it's really nice if you can really get a newly replaced laptop......

Well, have a conversation with sony this morning. They said that if this fan fails again then they will have enough arguement to voice out to the management for the replacement, since they have announced this problem to the public on september. Let's see how it goes. If you hear abnormal fan noise from your cs, dont hesitate and send to sony.

Hey guys, i plan to get a sony vaio lap top before this christmas.
My budget is 5k{maximun} including extended warranty.
i will be using my lap top for music, watching some music video,dvd"s, playing a bit of games,surfing the net and doing some school projects.
I was considering going for the vaio fw55 which is rm4499 and an additional rm430 for extended warranty.
is the specs in this lap top good ?
are there any other models that you"ll recommend me that is within 5k?
by the way, i heard that the older models of the sony vaio had some problems,example- problems with the lcd and the hard drive{making some loud noise},and some models encounted overheating problems. Does this still happen to the new models now ?
is it worth buying sony vaio lap tops ?
i dont want to regreat after buying it.
I really nedd your opinions.

thanks........

I believe those problems you mentioned there come from vaio cs and bz series. In fact it is not the hdd make the noise, it is the fan start to fail and cause the laptop to overheat. All cs series are affected, although sony make it public the fan is defective, but until now i don't know is there a complete solution on this. Want to know more? google it up..

That's good, other than fw, the sr series also receive good reviews from most of the users. Just try to stay away from cs and bz series if you plan to buy a vaio

Sorry to interrupt here, a fren of mine who is a CS owner, her lappy juz kaput (can turn on) after 2 weeks expiry of the warranty period, anyway can she ask for assist?

I heard SONY offer 3months extended warranty for CS owner, is that true?

She been sent in her lappy in the past 1 yr for more than 3 times, and her lappy still not running in proper condition.

Appreciate the helps~

hi there, try to contact sony and ask about it. The 3 months extended warranty is only valid if you register your sony product within 7 days from the day you purchase. Just try to call them or go to sony service center and tell them your situation, i assume her laptop cant turn on? if it is motherboard kaput, try and use the fan issue to make an argument.
