Paint peeling off buttons on FE15GP

The paint of my 1 month old VAIO FE15GP volume button are peeling. The paint on the buttons were gradually producing crack lines & then peeled off when I pressed them.

If I bring it to an authorized VAIO(it's still under warranty.) service center, will they re-paint the button or replace them with a new one?


btw, I'll take a picture of the buttons tomorrow.

Thanks,

TF

 

didnt know it was paint, i thought they were some kind of stickers. Also what model is the fe15g in the states?

 

They dont have it in the states, I noticed the exact same problem this morning while sitting outside my tutorial, My mute buttons paint is flaking off and its the US FE590

 

oh those buttons...ya at best buy they have the FE on display and yeap they are severely peeled off.

 

Yikes! So, is this a common problem on the FE's?

btw, as promised here's a pic I took below

 

yeap they look like that but all of them lol, do you use them a lot? cause mine are fine, but then again i hardly use them,

 

I use my mute button alot, You could repaint them with a silver texta?

 

How long have you had your laptop? Do you notice any peeling?

Cant believe after a month the buttons are peeling

 

Ive had mine about 2 months now.

 

Looks like its possible, but DIYing it wouldn't have the same results.

 

Hi,
I've just noticed the exact same thing on my 8 month old FE11H. The paint on my Vol+ button is starting to peel away at the edges. Scratching it very slightly with my nail, I was very surprised how easily it comes away.

Is still under it's gaurantee, and I'm very interested to hear if anyone with this problem has had a response from Sony. Would they fix it/replace the buttons (with the same or better ones)/or replace the laptop?? Would like to hear people's experiences before I contact Sony myself.

I can imagine in not very long there may not be much of my Vol and S button silvering left!

Many thanks in advance,
David
