    Hi,

    Just got my Vaio TZ from Pricejapan. After one week the internal SSD is failing.

    Have anyone opened the Vaio TZ? Is it possible to replace / upgrade the internal SSD?

    I would assume it is the same as replacing any other laptop hard drive. It's a warranty issue anyways, so let Sony deal with it.

    I'm pretty sure that Sony will not cover this due to the fact that it was imported from Japan. This is assuming you live in the US.

    The manufactures warranty is only valid in the country of purchase.

    I do blame Sony :) - but since I bought the TZ from Pricejapan i guess it will take a while to get it fixed.

    This is a solid state disk - and there is no simple panel i can open.

    Definitely no simple panel you can open to replace the drive. If it's anything like it's predecessor, the TXN series, you'd have to remove the keyboard and whole top panel to access the drive (usually secured by 8-10 screws and a bunch of tabs).
