I am rather annoyed now. My little Vaio is starting to act up on me. I start using it on battery power and it will say that it does not recognize the battery and has to go into hibernation mode while I fix the trouble. Same battery that it came with. I let it hibernate and without doing anything turn it back on (first few times I unhooked and reseated the battery) and it turns on fine and keeps working.
This seems to be an old flaw with the Sony Vaio's, I looked and saw similar complaints back at least to 2004. No one seemed to have found a cure though, so I'm rather unhappy at what seems like a manufacturing flaw that has no cure. If I end up having to replace my little Vaio I am going to be very unhappy.

so it's like the thing with ipods, where the product is guaranteed to be phased out. there's a word for that, omg, but my brain never works right to let me remember it. where certain products have a 'built-in obsolescence' date??? where after two years the batteries die and there's no effective way to replace them, so you've either got to live with it plugged in to the wall or you have to buy a new one.
::sigh:: i hate my brain. it apparently expired at age 25.
Yup, that sounds right. They used to call it the Warranty Chip in televisions and stuff, because if you failed to renew the warranty you could bet that the day after it expired your TV would stop working... we have a few of them in the basement.
