Sony has issued a recall on several of its Vaio laptops sold between July 2007 and August 2008. Affected units may have a "wiring problem" which causes overheating.
The notebooks, according to Sony, contain "irregularly positioned wires near the computer's hinge and/or a dislodged screw inside the hinge [that] can cause a short circuit and overheating."
Included in the recall are the Vaio VGN-TZ100, VGN-TZ200, VGN-TZ300 and VGN-TZ2000 series with 11.1" screens.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has advised owners of these notebooks to stop using them immediately and contact Sony for further instructions.
