Sony has announced that it is recalling VAIO TZ-series notebooks after receiving reports of overheating and minor burns. The issue, which Sony says is caused by an errant wire or screw near the hinge shorting, affects some VGN-TZ100, VGN-TZ300, and VGN-TZ2000 notebooks sold between July 2007 and August 2008. The company is offering free inspection and repair to TZ-series owners.
