Problem with display/vga card on A115Z

Freshfighter — Fri, 26 Nov 2004 20:31:57 GMT

A problem has occured with my a115z. When you picked up the laptop and moved it, you could hear a component that was broken off slide over the bottom, inside the laptop. It also manifested in distorted images. Of which i have a screenshot, but not online. Of course i sent the laptop to sony for repair, but only the first problem seems to be repaired. The distorted images (my guess: the loose component damaged the VGA card, ATI 9200) remain. Anyone else had something similar???

I would send it back in, this is not good enough.

Um.......I would really say send it back to be safe. What the hell they are doing repairing the computer and then not switching it on to check they actually fixed it I don't know. A slight clip round the ear might be in order I think,

What's DHL? It sounds like they just took out the thing that was sliding around and then sent it back :smileysad:.

Of course I will send it back. But I thought I'd post the problem on the board, maybe other users have had similar defects.

Only as far as Sony not fixing their PC properly

Yep as Twizted said, plenty of people not had Sony repair their computers properly. I've not seen anyone yet with bits falling off thei computers though.

It's not a common problem.

The thing is Sony are making it more expensive for themselves, these couriers are not cheap.

Well, the loose part inside the computer, so it 's not the LCD display is "dismembered" or something. On the outside it's in pristine shape, I am very carefull with it, but apparently the part just to decided it was time for a vacation. But you could clearly hear a small loose component inside floating around when you moved the laptop. Kind of freaky btw

Yeah I had something similar with a Dell. Who quite originally tried to blame it on me.

I missed my chance to give them hell cos we were getting a new one anyway. But yeah it obviously hadn't been fixed on properly :smileyconfused:. Whatever.
