[. . . ] Before you upgrade your computer's memory, read the notes and procedures in the following pages. The number of available slots depends on the configuration of your model. Notes on adding/removing memory modules Be careful when changing memory. Improper installation of memory modules may cause damage to your system. This damage may void your manufacturer's warranty. Only use memory modules that are compatible with the computer. If a memory module is not detected by the computer or Windows becomes unstable, contact your sales dealer or the manufacturer of your memory module. Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before touching a memory module, ensure the following: The procedures described in this document assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment. Turn off the computer and disconnect the system from its power source (that is, battery or AC adapter) and from any telecommunication links, networks, or modems before you open the computer. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage memory modules and other components. Do not scratch the LCD screen or exert pressure on it. Using the computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the LCD screen. When the computer returns to normal temperature, the screen returns to normal. A residual image may appear on the LCD screen if the same image is displayed for a lengthy period of time. The residual image disappears in a while. You can use a screen saver to prevent residual images. The LCD screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the LCD screen. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction. [. . . ] VAIO Action Setup manages the settings for your computer's shortcut keys.
