AMD Overheating

I have a Sony FXA63 with the AMD processor. It has overheated and damaged
the motherboard. I am in touch with a repair shop. Is there any recourse
from Sony? I bought this in January 2003. The overheating was this May--on
my honeymoon.

Also, is there any record of AMD processors overheating?

How long is your warrantee? That will let you know if you have any
recourse.

There isn't AMD over heating in my record cuz only AMD I got is one
desktop, but I can tell there is celeron over heating from intel for
notebook. My mobo got damaged over three times from overheating.

touch pad not working keyboard damaged, acting funky...etc. I opened up
case and saw having some idea what the hell is going on inside, and heat
sink is basically too small(where processor is where memory, chipset,
video card located real closely), or people need to redesign laptop so it
can take out enuf hot air to stablize systems.

Well I guess pretty much most of so called high performance laptops get
seriously overheated by simple normal operation(turning switch on with ac
pluged in?), except when they're battery powered, they are designed not to
use full power when away from ac powered.

"Laptops are simply Not stable" for
that reason, when I posted question relating troubleshoot, I hear extended
warranty is not an option but required for notebooks from people.

I hope there's standardized way to contruct for notebook, pretty much all
portables are customized making the device life spam short and cheap(not
in price)

Oh well.

Sony has and is studiously ignoring overheating issues in their entire
laptop line. http://pub173.ezboard.com/bunofficialsony Sony is also
turning a deaf ear to other fundamental manufacturing defects in their
motherboards. Sony needs to clean up their act.
