VGN FS115M - NOISY FAN

[chris.stocker]

hi all,

i've bought a "VGN FS115M" yesterday. all seems to be good. but it isn't. the fan of my "VGN FS115M" starts when i turn on my notebbok and never stopps.


this shouldn't happen on a notebook produced by sony. i tested notebooks from my friends (e.g. ACER). they all are quite in a normal CPU working mode (e.g. WORD, ...)

does anyone have the same problem or a solution. if not, i will give back my notebook to the seller and reclaim my money. i hope this will work, after deinstalling the win xp-home and installing win xp-prof.

Just redtore it to factory defaults, then it's like new.

on my fault, i didn't burn recovery dvds to restore.
so, it's impossible for me to restore it to factory defaults.

i know - that was dumb !

Like I said, You could buy them. You must contact VAIO-Link

Did you delete the recovery partition, because there was a thread where someone managed to restore the PC like that

[chris.stocker]

it's done. my short excursion to VAIO is over.

today i successfully returned my "VGN FS115M" and reclaimed the money for it.

what i did? i bought an other notebook (not a label of SONY)
but this one works as is suspected. i don't know if i am allowed to make comercial for an other label in this forum? so i end my description here ...


greetings chris

Shame the Vaio didn't work out for you Chris:smileysad:

There seem to be quite a few complaints regarding the FS models - noisy fans, broken latches etc.

As you've got a new machine now I guess it's Sony who are losing out.

Tut tut Sony:smileysad:

Seems that Chris was the only person which reacted with the correct answer to a laptop which is made of parts of poorly quality.

I can fully understand Chris. And I hope he becomes lucky with his other Brand laptop. It sounds hard if I say that I hope that other VAIO owners, which are unhappy with his VAIOs will do the same. Because I would do this too, if I would have this problems too.

Funny, the fan in my VGN FS115Z is quite silent. Yes, it runs all the time, but it is so silent that it really doesn´t disturb me. The buzzing screen noise is louder. Of course, when you do 3D Gaming, the fan gets louder but even then it is pretty silent.
So if you have a loud fan, it is probably a production error, not a design error of the FS-Series. Just read a test in a german magazine and the vaio FS was the most silent sonoma notebook currently available and I can absolutely agree with that.
Of course, using RMClock and installing the original nvidia drivers helps as well
