    i dont think loud fan is a real issue. You might want to check you settings.

    trust me i have, and reinstalled stuff. it's set on 1 and it sounds like a jet. i want the other stuff fixed anyway, but the tech acted like it was a known issue and no problem to fix. also someone replied to one of my earlier noise complaint posts and stated that his was loud and he exchanged it for various reasons and his new one was much quieter.

    Anyone have experience with getting body parts for their SZ160? I dropped mine and want to replace the long section from the hinge to the upper corner above the optical drive.
