VAIO sends out smoke signals

Darius Chang  |  Aug 24, 2006

According to a report by the Kansas City media, a VAIO notebook went up in flames twice. Juli Kupperman said the first flames occurred when the laptop was switched off and the battery was charging. Though she put out the fire, the same system went for an encore. There was no major damage or injuries reported.

Sony Asia Pacific told CNET Asia that it is aware of this incident and investigations are underway. We will update the report when more information comes in.
