I bought a Z2 VAIO a while back, and curiously my Z26 didn't come with the VAIO spec sticker on the palm rest. Now, I know that you would be going 'why would you want that?'
(since I read that people usually take those off because they look horrendous), but would it indicate something iffy with my Z26? I bought this from a Sony Style store
I have an AR series Vaio and ive just got a new palm rest for it, can anyone tell me how easy they are to fit as i was expecting just a bit of plastic but its quite an in depth part where i think the keyboard and a few other things have to come off.
Its a Vaio VGN-AR51SU i have identical to this
Just bought a Sony Viao 448 J/B the palm rest gets very warm almost hot when running. This is my first Viao so I'm not familiar with the normal symptoms.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThere are dark grey marks on both side of the palm rest on my M1210 palm rest which doesn't come off no matter what i use on it. There were never there until i cleaned my laptop with some iso-propyl alcohol. I wiped the whole laptop and around the two palm rest area, silver stuff were coming off my laptop and transferring into onto my cloth.
The place where the silver things come off became a big dark spot on my laptop.
I sent my computer for repair to Dell after a fall and when it came back, it came back with a variety of new problem. turns out, dell people damaged the the motherboard and forgot a few screws with a new palm rest when they were "fixing" it.
Anyway, I got a technician to change the motherboard and I got a new palm rest. Now I have the feeling the palm rest/mouse pad get a bit warmer than before but I am not really sure.
How hot should it be for a normally functionning XPS 1530? It is not burning hot or anything but I don't remember if before it was getting this warm.
Before I buy this laptop I am wondering what is the palm rest made from? I did chat to dell and they said magnesium? It doesnt look like magnesium to me

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just got a new 6930p. It's rather warm on the left side where the palm would rest and causes a rather big discomfort.
Is there any type of cooling pad that would cool it down?
I know the HP dv5t's hard drive is on the left side , but is not located near the palm rest...instead it's near the battery compartment, just below it.
So what is under the left palm rest? Is it the GPU? CPU? It's pretty hot when in "High Performance" mode, but slightly warm when in "Power Saver" mode.
My GF has the Macbook 1.1 and she has the discolored palm rest issue, she has apple care and she says that it doesn't expire.

The main reason I wanted this computer was for it's looks, so the fact that it's already starting to form visual defects is really, really annoying.
I've been trying to find reviews of the new Vostro 1520 on the web and have been having varying degrees of luck.
I have noticed however that a few people have complained that the left palm rest of the Vostro 1520 is too hot. One person measured it to be 103 deg F
Recently got a Latitude E6400 w/ 2.66Ghz, 4GB RAM, nvidia 160m, 250GB (7200rpm). The left Palm rest is often very hot to keep my hand on it. I even use Antec Laptop cooler pad.
Checking temperatures using speedfan, I have following temps when the left palm rest is hot:
GPU - 55-60C
HDD - 42C
Temp1: 37C
Core 0: 32C
Core 1: 38C
Has anyone removed the stickers from the right palmrest of their E6400 (or similar)? The Windows Vista Basic sticker is really annoying to me, but it seems to be very securely attached and I don't want to ruin anything in the process of removing it....
View 10 Replies View RelatedHas anyone attempted to replace the palmrest/keyboard assembly on their S XPS 16? I've done keyboards on older Dell laptops but this seems a bit more involved. The metal trim on the palm rest is coming up so it would be nice to have it replaced,
View 3 Replies View RelatedI used my Studio 1535 without problem about 4-5 months and temperatures were fine. But from some time I have very strange problem. First my charger became relatively very hot, my mother consider it as very hot as well.
After my hard disk becomes hot 39-40 C, and now I guess as result from fan system and HDD high temperature, my left palm rest (typically warm on most notebooks) is hot too.
i have had my like MB for just over a year...so my warranty just ran out. i noted that the top case has started cracking around the edge, and asking my friends and people who has the macbook, this is a pretty common problem. but mine is getting pretty bad.
Do you think Apple would send me a replacement topcase and if so, how much would it cost. i don't know if anyone else has had this problem and asked for a replacement.
I was giving my 1645 a nice cleaning when I noticed a depression on the left hand side palm corner. The black of the palm rest actually sinks below the the silver trimming. Is this normal? is it supposed to be flush? Does it mean I need yet ANOTHER part replaced on this damn laptop?
View 10 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone else get a slight tingling or vibrating sensation on the right palmrest? It doesn't really bother me but I just find it peculiar....it's really hard to describe except that my hand can feel some kind of vibrating going on (it's very subtle and doesn't make noise). Anybody else know what I mean?
View 10 Replies View RelatedAs the title says I'm looking for some new parts.
I'm currently in need of new:
LCD hinges
fans
palm rest
mouse buttons
Anyone know the part numbers for these or could you reference me to a parts list or online site that would sell these parts?
I'm in the UK - what is the difference between the VPCF11Z1E/BI and VPCF11X5E? The first one is available on the Sony UK site, and the second the Sony Style site. If I spec up the X5E to the same spec, it's £70 cheaper!
i.e. - i7 720QM, 8GB RAM, 500GB Hard Disk
A few questions though:
I really want the best screen possible. Do these both have it? Is it Adobe RGB?
I need 8GB of RAM - is it cheaper to get it with 4GB and buy the extra 4GB seperately?
Is a 128GB SSD worth the £120 extra over the standard 500gb 7200rpm disk (currently included free)? Is the SSD that Sony include any good, or should I buy a 128GB or 256GB one seperately? Do they have a limited life span?
Finally - is it full of bloatware? Will I need to flatten it and reinstall Windows to get it running well, or is the VAIO stuff worth having? Are the disks for Windows 7 supplied, and are the drivers easy to find?
I think when I bought this machine I was told that it had Bluetooth. I have a Sony VAIO VGN-FW190EFH, and according to this specification sheet from Sony, it indeed does have Bluetooth.
I downloaded the latest driver from VAIO's support site, but when I tried to install it, it said that it couldn't detect a Bluetooth adapter!
I bought a Bluetooth mouse today but when I tried to connect it, my laptop is acting as if it doesn't have Bluetooth.
What should I do?
i was getting fed up with all the naff stickers on the fw....(the intel ones and the other ones) i decided to get rid off them only to be left with sticker residue..
WD40! its a miracle cleaner!
spray a little on a bit of tissue and wipe away..
clean as a whistle!
I have a Sony FW and just pulled the 10 stickers placed on it and one of them left a nasty sticky residue that is accumalating dirt. Is there anyway to remove this
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer 5920g notebook and I can find, in various places, lists giving the specification of "the" 5920G.
However there is no such thing as a 5920g notebook - what we have is a range of laptops all with a subset of the full list.
How can I get a the exact spec for my laptop?
There is a number on the bacik of the notebook which tells Acer eaxctly what is inside my notebook but how can I get access to this information?
So I replaced my thermal paste and noticed that my hard drive was not a Seagate like my spec. sheet listed, 500GB w/free-fall sensor, but was an older toshiba model!!!!
This unit was a "brand new replacement".... so I just thought I would warn any folks who are spending good money and could possibly not be getting what they pay for.

I bought an HP DM3-1030 us the AMD model.
I let my brother use it yesterday and he returned it but he ripped off the AMD sticker for some reason.
I contacted both AMD and HP about getting an AMD Neo sticker back but they both won't send me one.
Just noticed that my scartch and dent E6500 doesn't have a sticker.
I was going to create a bootable XP disk and apparently I need that COA number to do so
