Notebook Recall

It has been published that Sony is recalling certain notebooks. It was stated that Sony is recalling 440,000 Vaio TZ series laptops ( VGN-TZ100, VGN-TZ200, VGN-TZ300, VGN-TZ2000 series ) that were sold between May 2007 and July 2008. Apparently the problem is with overheating. They can overheat and destroy the plastic case around the DC power socket causing a fire. Sony had another problem a few years ago when they were forced to recall almost 10 million laptop batteries. It was a similar problem, it seems that in certain circumstances the battery could overheat and catch fire.
