Limited Warranty Statement
The limited warranty on your VAIO MicroTower covers parts and labor
against defects in material or workmanship for a period of three months
from the original date of purchase. You can extend the warranty period
for an additional nine months by registering your computer. See
“Registering Your Computer” on page 24. Once you register your
computer, the limited warranty period is twelve months from the original

SONY ELECTRONICS INC. (“SONY”) warrants this computer hardware product (“the Product”) against
defects in material or workmanship as follows:
Labor: For a period of ninety (90) calendar days from the original date of purchase from SONY or a SONY
authorized reseller, SONY will repair defects in the Product at no charge, or pay the associated labor
charges to a SONY authorized personal computer service facility. The ninety (90) day warranty period is
extendible only to the original purchaser, for an additional period of nine (9) months, for a total of twelve
(12) months from date of purchase when the Product is registered electronically. After the applicable
period you must pay for all labor charges.
Parts: For a period of ninety (90) calendar days from the original date of purchase from SONY or a SONY
authorized reseller, SONY will supply, at no charge, new or rebuilt, at SONY’s option, replacement parts
in exchange for defective parts. Any replacement parts will be warranted for the remainder of the original
warranty period or ninety (90) calendar days from installation by SONY’s authorized personal computer
service facility, whichever is longer. The ninety (90) day warranty period is extendible only to the original
purchaser, for an additional period of nine (9) months, for a total of twelve (12) months from date of
purchase when the Product is registered electronically. All defective parts replaced under this Limited
Warranty will become the property of SONY.
This Limited Warranty covers only the hardware components packaged with the Product. It does not
cover technical assistance for hardware or software usage and it does not cover any software products
whether or not contained in the Product; any such software is provided “AS IS” unless expressly
provided for in any enclosed software limited warranty. Please refer to the End User License Agreements
included with the Product for your obligations with respect to the software.
This Limited Warranty is non-transferable.
Proof of purchase in the form of a bill of sale (which is evidence that the Product is within the warranty
period) must be presented to obtain warranty service. In addition, if replacement parts are required and
you wish to receive the most expedient service available, you will be required to provide SONY with a
credit card authorization to bill your credit card in the event you fail to return the original parts in the
postage-paid envelope we provide. The credit card will only be charged for SONY’s list price for the part
if the part has not been returned within thirty days.
If you purchased the Product in the United States and the Product is located in the United States, you
may be entitled to on-site repair service during the warranty period, subject to certain restrictions. In all
instances, however, prior to an on-site service call being provided, you must communicate with Sony
sufficiently to allow it to perform initial diagnostics of your Product. Please contact SONY as set forth
