Today Sony announced that they would be recalling more than half a million Vaio laptops due to an overheating problem. The problem is that the shape of the computer can become distorted due to overheating caused by a flaw in the temperature control system. There have also been some reports of skin burns attributed to the heat buildup of the computers.
The recall includes 259,000 units in the U.S., 103,000 in Europe, 120,000 in Asia and 52,ooo in Japan. Also included in this recall are the F and C series Vaios that were introduced in January of this year. Sony recalled 400,000 Vaio's in 2008 due to overheating problems. Owners of the computers can either have Sony pick them up for repair or download a software update which should fix the problem.
