Just like you, I've also used my VAIO for a long period of time, but this never happens on mine.
My suggestion: Try sending the laptop to the Service Centre.

Er, not to forget, if you upgrade the hard disk itself, you will definitely void the warranty itself. Furthermore, try at ur own risk.

Yeap, after heavy use for some period of time, the fan will have some noise... But it wont happen all the while.. Just happen once a while.. If you felt that it's annoying, try to send in for check up =)

Halo members of Vaio notebooks ...

I m a newbie of Vaio VGN-CR35G user here...
I had been searching for a Vaio forum through and through..
Ahh... Finally i found it... haha...

May i know is there possible to upgrade RAM for Sony laptop??

of course you can..

hi again... i bought this VAIO CR35G from Best Denki which i would like to ask that the extended warranty they offered is 4 years.. Is this warranty covers full coverage and when there is a problem then where shud i go to?? Sony?? or Denki??

i found out another problem that the battery could only sustain for max 2.5 hours only... is there a problem with my notebook?? if watch on video more fast the battery finish.. help..

first year warranty, you can send to sony center. for the extended warranty, you need to send back to best denki for warranty. and for this extended warranty, best denki actually send it to sony also but best denki bear the cost of repairing

you need to set the power plan to max battery, i think

i am also thinking of upgrading my vaio CR35G ram to 4gb. But is laptop ram same with desktop?

no, it is different, laptop is using sodimm

so anyone with a CR35G already upgraded ram to 4gb? or anyone here upgraded their vaio before? Btw i am using Vista home premium 32bit

Vaio is so nice... much better than Dell in term of outlook and built quality. juz the pricing factor. But now sony has lowered their pricing scheme a lil bit especially CR series... go get it

i was always looking for the mobility style notebook, vaio t series is my only choice. the mobility and battery durability are the best among all the notebooks. i was looking for vaio t series for years, from tr to tx, untill the tz. n now i got my vaio tz series, love it~~~

maybe it will capped at 3gb (vista 32-bit detect). if im not mistaken only 64-bit support 4gb. no harm added 4gb though if your system configuration able to support 4gb ram.

nice notebook you got there

As what mentioned by others, go sony center for the first year, the following years if you wish to claim the warranty itself, go Denki side to repair. ^^

Yea, for CR35 the max hours it can goes is 2.5 hours... actually depands on your usage.. Like what you mentioned, you using it for video purpose, of coz the battery used up faster compared to you used it for typing purposes.. Erm, to know furthermore about how to save your battery .. Go "Power Option", choose the mode that you prefer. ^^


Erm, at the mean time, Window Vista just can only read up to 3.5Gb Ram.. So, stil not recommend for you to upgrade to 4GB since you cant reallty fully utilize it yet.
Laptop RAm is diff with dekstop.

Hows the performance of your tz ? ^^ Mind to share ?

hie dude, i would say upgraded to 3gig Ram is suffisient. 4 gig i lil bit too much, somehow some say vista cant support that much ram rite?

Thank for all the info sharing... ^^
Really feel great of having VAIO notebook...
haha..
Another issue here i need to brought up here is that i found out that a few times my window vista premium it alway not responding when i try to open some folder... especially when jz on my pc.. so is my pc abnormal??

maybe you need to add more ram.
or you can check and disable unwanted startup program , accessing via search bar at windows menu by typing " msconfig". you can disable unwanted program like sonicstage if you dont use it; or replacing the given antivirus softaware (norton) with decent one. i dont really like norton due to memory resource it takes.

it is the 32bits windows cannot support 4gb, vista/xp 64bits can support..
