Over 500,000 Sony VAIO Notebooks Recalled For Overheating Problem

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Sony is in the process of recalling in excess of 500,000 Vaio laptops due to a problem with overheating. The problem stems from defective heat monitoring chips that are found on the VAIO C and VAIO F class notebooks that were released in January of this year.

The result of this defect is that notebooks are overheating and are distorting in shape. So far, Sony has confirmed receiving over 40 customer complaints regarding this problem. The fix for this problem could be as easy as downloading a new firmware for the VAIO and Sony is also offering less tech savvy users the option of bringing their laptops into a service center for fixing.
