JAPAN'S Sony on Wednesday issued a warning to customers worldwide that a system glitch affecting more than half a million of its Vaio laptop computers may cause overheating and possible burns. The electronics giant said a heat-monitoring chip in some of its Vaio F and C series models that were launched in January this year could be defective, leading to possible overheating, a company statement said. Although the defect has not been known to cause personal injuries, the firm said it received a total of 39 complaints from overseas customers saying that the shape of their computers became distorted from overheating.
