Sony Vaio Recall

Today is an unfortunate day for many Sony Vaio owners as an announcement has been made to recall the laptops due to potential overheating or short circuit. Sony believes that it could be due to poor wiring in the laptops and wants to fix the problem for its users. If you send them your laptop, they will fix the problem free of charge.

They are recalling 74,000 units in the United States and 440,000 units worldwide according to Reuters. The recall is for the models VGN-TZ100, VGN-TZ200, VGN-TZ300 and VGN-TZ2000 series. Sony has had poor battery quality in the past and many computer companies such as Dell, Apple, and Toshiba have had to recall their Sony batteries due to it being a fire hazard.

On another note, it seems like Sony is making a lot of errors in the technology department. Playstation 3 is still putt-putting along in sales, the PSP is constantly being revamped and just recently getting more popular, and now their laptops are having to be recalled. I used to really like Sony as a top product, but now they are more like a joke. Why pay so much for a company you know isn’t making a quality product? Then again, this stuff happens and even Apple has been making boo-boo’s lately on their equipment. Sometimes you have to give these companies the benefit of the doubt, especially if they are willing to give good customer service and fix the problem.

If you have a Sony Vaio with the above model, I would consider looking into this further to get your laptop fixed (or maybe even get a better deal).
