    i got my AR series a little over a month ago and for some reason, the volume, mute, S1/S2, and eject buttons will stop working out of nowhere. actually, the volume and mute keys do work, but the on-screen display will not work. the eject button stops working all together. i have to use the button on the actual DVD-rom itself to open the DVD.

    i think i get some kind of windows error message about a VAIO application not working. right now all the special keys aren't working but if i were to reset my computer, it will start working. and then it'll happen again out of nowhere at random times.

    anyone have this problem at all and know how to fix it?
