Sony laptop problem - GoFuckYourself.com

Hey guys,
I have the Sony model VGN-T140P (its the tiny mobile model).

Now, it got beer spilt on the keyboard, and then it got water on it. So they replaced the keyboard, and then returned it to me. Everything was fine, but when you went to knock it or put it down, the computer would freeze or shut down. So i took it back, they returned it to sony, and said the memory card slot needed to be changed. So they put a new slot in. Now if i bump it or wave the laptop around in the air, sometimes it will freeze, it always freezes when i move it upside down or in the air. Is this normal?

And if not, is there some type of driver for the mobile proccessor or something?

Any suggestions?

isn't that this hdd protection they have now?

it's called "G-Sensor™ Shock Protection - Hard Disk Drive Protection"

cuz if i move it in the air fast or put it down a bit hard, it auto reboots

If no one else is going to ask, I will: What the heck are you doing with your laptop??!!

peaches,
well if i move it around the room, or put it down a bit hard on the desk, it reboots itself. a laptop should be able to withstand such things. i have a gateway laptop sitting beside me, and i can wave it around and put it down hard w/o it resetting.

so im wondering if this is a system problem, or if i need to install a driver for the hard drive, or what?

im fuckin pissed. i paid $500 + trying to fix this fucking thing, and this problem is still here, and i do not think it was ever there before. it started happening when they replaced the keyboard, then they replaced the memory card slot and said it was that, but still nada.

I'm actually in the process of buying a Vaio (15inch though). I wonder if it will do the same thing. I usually just use it on the desk but sometimes I do have it on the sofa with the dogs jumping all over it. That's when I type things like askgiaslkdgnaklsdnga.
