Sony Vaio Fit 13A: My Sony Vaio Fit 15E svf15215clb shuts down

Thu, 08 Jul 2021 12:14:29 -0700

Hi! I have an issue with my sony vaio fit 15e running Windows 10, it turns on but after I sign in, it shuts down by itself(It last less than 5 min on). So far I have cleaned it up the fan from the inside, I entered the BIOS and it didn't shut down while in there but once I reboot it to get into the OS it shutdown again. I haven't checked the thermal paste of the CPU nor the GPU, could it be that? or something else?

Thank you.

Sat, 09 May 2020 03:03:32 -0700

Hi there,

When I turn on the notebook, after a few minutes starts blinking, flickering. If I move the mouse it stops until the mouse moves.

If I turn to sleep and open up, the flickering stops for a while.

The touch function also stops sometimes.

What should I change around the display?

Sony Vaio Fit 13A: Adhesive and anti-vibration foam for the Sony Vaio Fan

Mon, 11 Jul 2016 01:35:12 -0700

Hello everyone,

First of all, I want to apologize for my English which is not perfect. I will change the fan of my Vaio Fit 13A and I found that there were over pieces of anti-vibration foam stuck on it to limit the computer's noise. On the new fan I bought, these elements are not present. So, do you know what type of foam should I buy (It must withstand high temperatures) ? For information, there is an adhesive side of the foam to stick it on the fan.

Finally, what kind of high heat resistant adhesive tape must be used to keep items in place in the laptop (because I have to draw some one to put the new fan in place) ?

Thank you very much,

Sony Vaio Fit 13A: Keyboard (physical) random gibbrish on key press

Thu, 16 Jul 2015 13:13:10 -0700

Hello,

my question is in regards to random gibberish on key press on the physical Keyboard, that appears to be completely random and does not occur all the time, but comes in and goes away in same manner (the touch popup keyboard in tablet mode is fine).

I have tried to set it in properties to US english only keyboard input method, Canadian input english, but it makes no difference, only gibberish characters change, also not all keys are effected, sometimes the "f" or the "r" key cause this, other times the "tab or esc" key, and while in this state most F keys ae disabled (ie: F1 through F12)

I'm wondering if the keyboard is on its way out, or is this a driver related issue (as is my guess)?

I have upgraded from win8 to 8.1, however for a few months the win8.1 run flawlessly and this appears to be happening after my last two recommended updates.

I appreciate any feedback.
