Fan noise problem - Help needed

[borhu]

Hello, I bought two days ago a new Sony Vaio netbook AND BEEN USING IT EVER SINCE. WHILE I ENJOY IT VERY MUCH, I HAVE A ONE MAJOR PROBLEM, THE FAN NOISE IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND INTRUSIVE. AS A STUDENT IT'S DIIFICULT TO BRING IT IN THE LIBRARY...AND STUDY. SO COULD ANYONE MAKE ANY SUGGESTION ON HOW TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. I BOUGHT IT IN ST.GALLEN... AND I ALSO READ SOMEWHERE THAT THE SONY IS OFFERING A FREE REPAIR SERVICE FOR NETBOOKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THUS COULD U INFORM ON WHERE CAN I FIND THIS REPAIR SERVICE CENTER IN ST.GALLEN IF ANY????? I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE,

THANX

Hi - yes, I've noticed the same problem. The fan outlet gets pretty hot (and that's with using a laptop rest to provide space for ventilation underneath). Also not too impressed with battery life - advertised as 2hrs + but I seem to get about 60 mins. Don't know about any free fixes offered by Sony. Mine is an E-series.
