I've faced the SAME problem last month. The laptop started producing irritating noises. I tried to ignore it, until it started shaking.

I then discovered that the heat sink was damaged and had to fix it. However, I didn't fix it at Sony. Instead, I gave it to someone I trust and he replaced it (and it cost a lot!). I don't think the warranty will work because this is considered to be physical damage and that isn't included in the terms.

But why did this happen in the first place?? I think the reason is because once while trying to pull the monitor, my fingers slipped and it smashed into the keyboard. The laptop looks really cool and is appealing, but there's a problem with its design.

Anyway, I think you should send it to your local Sony agent or someone who could help. Most likely, you'll have to dig in your pockets though.

Good luck
