    My wife and I both have vgn-fw200 series laptops (she has 245 and I have 250). I love my laptop, but I don't quite like the loud "clack" sound that the buttons make when you press them. Even CNET included that as a "con" in one of their reviews. Is there any way to fix this? I know I may be reaching, but you don't know unless you ask.

    Thanks!

    But that's another thing... I don't want to have to make conscious decisions when pressing the buttons. I don't really want a workaround, but a "fix" if there is one. :)
