Hi, i'm the owner of FE18GP, been using it for 2.5 yrs with it. But now i have problems with the keyboard. 6 keys are not functioning properly. They are letter 9,0,o,l and , and .

I can hardly get them, say if i press 50 times or keep pressing for 10-20 sec then i can get them. Is it likely to be the keyboard problem? As there's ppl telling me that i might be the controller chipsets. At this moment i hope that its the keyboard problem as the replacement keyboard cost under RM200. But if its the chipsets, i was told the whole motherboard will need to be replaced.

I wonder if anyone of u have the same problem as me and what's the problem?

Any help is much appreciated. Thx

It would be great if it's only the keyboard's problem. So are your problem similar like me. Can get it sometimes only? Or urs is totally down?

I ain't using it 4 gaming, all i do is only surfing web only

i don't think i press them very hard. But tell u all what, this is our 3rd sony vaio lappy, and all of them got the similar keyboard problem. And my gf's A517m are having a green vertical line on the screen. VAIO can really do business with fast sales. haha

ok, just got my keyboard fixed in sony repair centre. Cost me RM333, hopefully nothing comes in again after i changed my battery n keyboard.

hey, imagine that i just got my laptop keyboard changed last monday and the new laptop keyboard is having problem again!!!!! I'm going to sony repair centre again tomorrow. Been paying RM333 for the new keyboard but fortunately, its under 3 months warranty

my lappy is not under warranty after 2.5 yrs. And that's y i will need to pay 160 service n labor charges + the new keyboard. And you will get additional KEYBOARD or the part u changed for 3 months ONLY.
Well, in my case, its the keyboard's fault. So new keyboard is needed

What kinda of promotion are they having? Clearing stocks? I would advice u to double check the lappy urself before purchasing them blindly, especially in those low yat or imbi area. If its only RM500 or lesser discount, i would advice u to purchase the new model or wait for the new one.

Beward of those DEMO set, which the lappies are demo from 9am-9pm daily for few weeks? I bet you don't want your lappy with overheated/over usage screen and other problems? Don't forget that those demo sets, the screen is on 12 hrs per day without resting, and those internal hardware as well?
