Hi, I've been reading this forum this weekend, and it's the best so far. Thanks for I wish I saw this forum before I bought my vaio pocket (3 months ago) since I was only relying on siliconpop's and cnet's review. I hope this is the right thread for my problem. Recently I saw someone posted a problem with the battery. My battery would run out in couple of days eventhought the device is completely turned off. Also, when the device is completely turned off, I can hear a high pitch noise coming out. I'm suspecting that the hard drive is keep running. After the battery drains out, I have to set everything again (time, date, etc.) I contacted Sony thru live chat and they told me that they never come across this issue with VGF-AP1L before. They also told me to contact the nearest Sony repair centers. Anybody knows where's the nearest Sony repair centers for zip code 12603 in NY? I'd prefer Sony's own certified technician to check my vaio pocket, instead of any stores that are certified to fix Sony's products. Anybody is having this problem too and how to resolve this problem? Thanks for the info!
