The recall relates to a problem with wiring near the computer's hinge, which may short-circuit and overheat in the power supply connector or the LCD area, causing transfiguration, the Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said, quoting a report submitted by Sony (China).
The affected laptops are of the VAIO VGN-TZ series produced between July 2007 and July 2008.
Sony suggested the users to contact the company for free quality check and maintenance of their laptops if required.
