manufacturing flaw in sony vaio cr24 laptops

[apparition369]

I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS TO YOUR NOTICE!!!


tHE CR RANGE'S CLICK BUTTON(THE LEFT ONE) HAS A PROBLEM.

if one checks various laptops of the shelf of similar make(cr range) and clicks the left click button(below the touch pad)....you will find inconsistency among all the models....the problem lies in shallow click, especially towards the left hand bottom corner of the left click button

again this is more prominent in laptops of cr range with finger print scanner in between the two click buttons........manufacturing flaw i guess.....

the problem is present in my new laptop(cr 24 black colour)......i got a ridiculous explanation at the service center saying that , " you should be clicking at the centre of the click button and not in the left bottom corner of the click button!!!"....though the right side click button works fine in any area !!!!!!


this seems to be in line with a similar glitch found in vaio laptop...wherein the space bar doesnt respond towards the extreme left side...this has been well documented in you tube video aswell!!!!!!

sony seems to be launching expensive products without any proper testing!!!!




ps. the click seems to be softter at the mentioned zone and varies from laptop to laptop of the same model....i foresee the failure of the click button after few months of useage....if the state is such in a brand new laptop!!!

CR 24? What the hell is that? Oh, I'm assuming you're not in the states. Different model numbers outside US?

I have a brand new CR-290 and it works perfectly. I don't know what to tell you.

Jack, there is a CR-24 Vaio currently being sold in India.

What is a "range click button?"

 

[apparition369]

it is not range click button.....but cr range's ------click button.(the one's below th touch pad!)


by the way did u guys chk the video link for another vaio fault.....?(its there in my scrap)

What, does "cr" stand for? In ther video, there seems to be something wrong with the way the space bar is installed.

If you watch the video in full screen mode, the problem is obvious!

The space bar has a single spring on the right-side...

If you gently press the left-side of the space bar, you aren't applying enough pressure to overcome the tension on this right-side spring - and the space bar sits askew as you press it down, not making the middle-positioned switch.

If you press the left-side, no problem! The spring is compressed, the space bar comes down flat and makes the switch.

I would definitely judge this to be a design flaw!!!

The only way it can possibly work is if you're ham-fisted, and smash the space bar down as you type...

I can agree with that - guess that's why I have never bought a Sony laptop. But I still don't what purpose a button serves with respect to a laptop's "range." What is the range of a laptop? How far you can throw it before it breaks?
