The Video chip sets are still dying.<BR />I have just had my VGN-AR21S video chip go wrong. It is only 2 years old. This is the 4th Vaio Notebook to suffer from the same problem. <BR />I cannot afford to keep buying Vaio computers. <BR />Between £1500 and £2000 every 2 years is just too much to waste.<BR />My 2 year warranty expired last week.<BR />I even had Sony in Japan service the thing 6 months ago after both internal hard drives failed.<BR />If the idea of buying Sony Vaio appears in your head then try to ignore it.

I sent it back to Sony on Monday and it was returned to me on Friday morning. 2 new hard drives and a new Ultimate install.<BR />Good job I took out the extended cover (I always do with laptops).<BR />Very impressed with the turnaround! Wouldn't have enjoyed paying for it though having paid nearly 2 grand for it just over a year ago!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 04 Apr 2009 10:36:23 GMT https://community.sony.nl/t5/pcs-accessories/a-continuing-problem-with-vaio-notebooks/m-p/33725#M54368 micdonal 2009-04-04T10:36:23Z
