    I purchased this laptop one month ago and it just started to give me problems. So just today, I noticed that my laptop's fan has been on and really loud...although I'm just browsing the internet. I have the indexing turned off...

    One thing I noticed is that when tap the right side of the wrist area...I hear a loud vibrating noise. Could that be the problem that is causing my laptop to have it's fan on all the time?

    Thanks a lot guys.

    Edit-

    I went to the Sony Store for their Backstage help and the person there said it was a fan circuit problem?

    Has no one encountered this problem before?

    I'm planning to drop by the Service Center tomorrow.
