Yep. GRX560. I should have waited a bit longer and

pulled the simm and plugged it back in. It worked for
another minute or so. Happened one more time, then it
wouldn't ever reboot. So it's probably a localized
problem. Good to hear. What sort of tools are you
referring to? Best to reply offlist. These things are
nowhere nears being on-topic. Oomphuh

Yep, Same model. The simm sockets connections break due to the poor
thermal design., Some very hot chips live on the other side of the
board. When I was at intel and radisys, I had SMD rework station access,
but now it's just a nice metcal iron and a couple pairs of reading
glasses supplemented with a inspection magnifier. old age sucks.

That surprises me!
I wasn't looking mind you :)
They weren't that uncommon. I've
used a Transmeta
Sony Vaio; nice little machine.
Now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense
some of the diminutive Vaios used Transmeta
hardware.
My Vaio (currently in suspended animation :( ),

Sounds like you have the same vaio I have. Perhaps
it's a GRX series?
Beautiful, 16" 1600*1200 screen, weighs a ton, but
bad design on the
simm sockets.
I'm going to take mine to work where I have the
proper tools to do a
rework. It's almost on topic, but I'm not waiting 3
years to reply.
BTW: their was a movement for a class action
lawsuit, but I don't think
it ever got off the ground.
