Overseas models (sold in Japan): Hazard: Irregularly positioned wires near the computer’s hinge and/or a dislodged screw inside the hinge can cause a short circuit and overheating. This poses a burn hazard to consumers. In rare cases, it generates heat around the DC jack inlet and frame of LCD screen, which creates the potential of deformation of the plastic casing. Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled notebook computers immediately and contact Sony to determine if their notebook is affected.
