Hi, I just got my sony vaio and love the design a lot at first glance.
Then I notice when I adjust the screen, there is a ripple at the bottom left screen. It's so sensitive that it probably can detect an earthquake! I searched around and it seems like some hardware problem. Anybody else have the same problem? What should I do? I like the computer but I don't want a defective one.
Also, the new laptop is as loud as my 3 yr old Dell. Especially when I wake it up, it has a sharp ZZZZZZZZ sort of noise which is very loud. The fan will turn on and go crazy even when I didn't do anything. It may have something to do with the bloat ware but the wake up ZZZZZZZZZ sound is kind of scary. Anybody have the same feeling?
I really want to love this laptop. It's just quite disappointing.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Now I realize that ZZZZZZZ noise might be from the optical drive....no idea how to reduce it....

I have no idea what you mean about a screen ripple though. -
The screen thing is definitely hardware problem. When you poke the screen, there is some ripple around the area. The thing about my screen is when I tilting it or shake it, there is the same kind of ripple around the corner. It's like when I shake the screen, something is poking the screen at the boarder.
I talked to sony and they give me two options, refund or replace with a brand new one.
Really like the idea of this computer......if I still like it after 3 days, will go with the replacement -

I totally disabled the optical driver from BIOS, then the squeaky sound is gone when wake up and it's even slightly faster to wake it up now.
Only worried about the heating problem a little. The vent seems to be obstructed by screen when in use.
Played some mid range game and it got to 127F after 30 minutes or so. -
HELP, sony vaio svs13 screen ripple and noise
