Upgrading Your VAIO Computer
Upgrading Your VAIO Computer
Your VAIO computer and memory modules use high precision components and electronic connectors technology. To avoid invalidation of the warranty during your product warranty period, we recommend that: You should contact your dealer to install a new memory module. You should not install it yourself, if you are not familiar with upgrading memory on a computer. You should not touch the connectors or open the memory module compartment cover. For the type of module and the amount of memory installed on your model, see the online specifications. Contact VAIO-Link if you need assistance.

Adding and Removing Memory
If you want to expand the functionality of your computer, you can increase the amount of memory by installing optional memory modules. Before you upgrade your computer's memory, read the notes and procedures in the following pages.
Notes on adding/removing memory modules
Be careful when changing memory. Improper installation of memory modules may cause damage to your system. A residual image may appear on the LCD screen if the same image is displayed for a long period of time. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the LCD screen. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction. Do not change the LCD screen orientation setting in the Tablet PC Settings window even when there are change options available for selection, as this may make your computer unstable. Sony assumes no liability for any malfunctions arising from changes to the settings.

Precautions
Using the Power Source
See the online specifications to check the power operation of your model. Do not share the AC outlet with other power-consuming equipment, such as a photocopier or a shredder. This device helps prevent damage to your computer caused by sudden power surges, in an electrical storm, for example. Unplug your computer from the AC outlet if you are not planning to use the computer for a long period of time. Use the AC adapter supplied with your computer or genuine Sony products. Do not use any other AC adapter as it may cause a malfunction.

Precautions
Handling Your Computer
Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth, which is dry or lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine, as these may damage the finish of your computer. [. . . ] Try connecting a simple, low-powered device such as a mouse to test if the port is working at all. USB hubs may prevent a device from working because of a power distribution failure. We recommend you connect the device directly to your computer without a hub.
