Firstly i have a few black spots on my screen i gather this is due to faulty pixels appearing, how many do i need before i can get some action taken.
Something you'd have to ask Sony, it changes from time to time.
Secondly, my dvd/cd-rw combo is not working very well these dyas, havent been able to burn cds for over 6 months, cant play dvds and wont even recognise some cds (audio or s/ware).
Have it fixed under warranty, the best thing to do.
Thirdly, my battery gave up the ghost a long long time ago and is good for about 2 seconds of use, unfortunately i dont think this is covered by the warranty so i might need to buy my own, any advice on which batteries are best in terms of battery life.
Batteries are not covered by warranties. You would have to buy a new one. I suggest staying with official batteries.
Finally i was contemplating a memroy upgrade, on two fronts, want some new ram as my comp often slows when i am using a few applications at once; i currently have two 128mb cards in my only two slots so what would be the best way forward? I have also been considering upgrading my hdd space, but i am tempted just to get an external firewire drive for storage, what are peoples thoughts on this subject?
Well going to
Crucial is the best start. Get 2 x 256MB RAM.
As for the hard disk, I'd go external if you don't need to take it everywhere and only need a backup device.
