We have an older A8 model like this one. problem is with over heating. does this model handle heat better? New models have Coolsense technology.

Thus far heat has never been a consideration. Use it all the time in varied conditions without any problems.

Got rid of this one after it crashed and cost me. Thank goodness I had the Amazon Warranty or it would have cost an additional$125.00.......Good bye.....Hope this helps.....CRAP

Not to sound condescending but if you don't have the "HEAT" function turned on the unit will not heat up. If it is still set to FAN or AC it will allow you to set it for 90 but it won't heat (and mine only goes to 80??) Additionally, if it is VERY cold (like 20s or below) the unit will not heat, it acts like a heat pump and the amount of heat goes down as the temps drop below 32 degrees. I only use mine to heat from about 30-55 degrees which covers about 90% of the time here in Alabama. During REALLY cold spells we cover the unit and use this DeLonghi TRD0715T Safeheat 1500W Portable Oil-Filled Radiator with Vertical Thermal Tunnels which we purchased here at Amazon and have used it for many years.

Well, in my humble opinion we (Jandy owners) have been taken to the cleaners on everything they sell salt-wise. Did you clean the cell with diluted acid? If so try that. Did you install the sensor with the new chip adaptor? If so, take off the adapter. It is a really bad fix. It seems to make all the bugs that everyone complains about worse by increasing, rather than decreasing, the sesitivity of the sensor. I got a few months (my non-heated season) out of my sensor (with one cleaning midway) by removing that jumper. I too am now getting a 121. I am going to clean the cell tomorrow, make sure the three prone plugs are clean, reboot the whole thing, and see what happens. If it doesn't fix, I am turning the whole thing off, saving my money, and buying something that works. Good luck.

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

Lucas, I'd be careful of this product. I've had one for 18 months and it died. This unit gets extremely hot and I think that contributed to my unit's untimely demise. There is the possibility that they fixed this problem with the "09" version but I wouldn't bank on it.

There is a thermal sensor *and* an overload (you put too much in and blades can't spin safely) sensor. Make sure you know which one is tripping. I hit the overload one a few times when I first got it because I overfilled it during initial testing.

I purchased both the standard battery with lower capacity. It runs hot and stopped keeping a charge. I purchased the higher capacity battery and it has a slight elevation (a new design to try to prevent the over heating of the battery) and this seems to work bettter. It does not heat up as much as (so far) has lasted longer. The standard battery will last about a year then will have to be replaced. Hopefully the higher capacity with more cells and elevation will last longer and costs more. Purchased 3 of these laptops. Two of them burned up (melted the chasis) on the older battery). HP had provided statement that the design of this laptop was "Bad" (you think). Since my other 2 burned up within the 3 years life-time, I thought they would replace; but no they would not because I did not file a formal complaint about the battery overheating problem. I thought calling tech was a complaint................... Anyway, get a higher capacity battery, elevated (and use a cooling pad).

It will work fine unless it's like mine and overheats badly. I've found out that others have had the same problem.

When I turn my A10 on in the morning it takes 2 minutes for the boiling water sound to come to a complete stop because the thermostatic relay tripped the heating element off. I hope that is not too long a wait ;)

I think there's something wrong. I have the same model and have never had a notebook/laptop that stayed this cool. There is only the slightest elevation in temp near the op of the touchpad and zero in palm rest areas on either side. Even the hottest area on the underside is only comfortably warm on my lap, about the same as one of my kitties. (Hmmm...maybe not even that warm.) I've had it 3 weeks and use many hours each day. This is the first laptop that I can literally rest on my lap!

Since I've bought this thing, it's worked well, but it's been a mild winter here in the south. I've found a website that deals with nothing but dashcams and has a forum dedicated to certain models of dash cams. It appears that very cold or very hot weather can kill one of these cams. The 801 seems to fair better than the 803. The 805 has come out which supposedly addressed some of these issues. It's almost as though the 805 appeared after Christmas to delete stock of older cams.

M. M.: I'm in the middle of an email conversation with the Appliatech (who services Solo ovens--or perhaps owns the Solo brand--I'm not entirely clear on this relationship) Customer Service technician, regarding my S2000 which currently isn't working due to a bad On/Off/Timer switch. One of the things I've gathered from this email conversation is that the original S2000 oven was wired such that the thermostat controlled the Convection Fan--which is a mistake because in convection mode you want the fan running constantly. In later models of the S2000 this wiring mistake was fixed, such that the Convection Fan runs properly (all the time). I believe that is the reason why some customers are reporting that the fan only runs when the thermostat is on, and others are reporting that it works properly. I'm guessing that if you order an S2000 now, you will be getting a newer, properly wired model, and it was only the early purchasers who got the mis-wired S2000's (but I can't guarantee that).

The model I own is the first generation and does not......I believe the new model has temperature awareness.

I had the same problem. The insulation on the wiring did not keep it cool causing it to melt then the wiring melted together. I cut out the connector and hard wired the positive to positive and negative to negative seperately and insulated them very heavily. I am now keeping "ALL" the wiring away from eachother to make sure that never happens again. I hand-made a bracket to keep the controler away from the battery to eliminate some of the heat problem and it seems to be working. Good luck.

I have the model with the additional display module. I does get a bit warm. I called PI and discussed this with a tech. He had me measure the OHM rating of the actuator which employs a copper coil and is basically an electromagnet that is in the solenoid the allows power to pass thru the unit. He indicated the some heat is OK.

Yes, I did. Twice!!! I bought a unit, it overheated extremely quickly during light to moderate use. I contacted Sony, they sent a replacement. Same problem only worse. Sony techs asked me to test the unit and record my results, which I did (including video documentation.) Suffice it to say, unless Sony has done a major retooling of this model, it isn't a flash you can trust for more than the lightest of use.

Not for me. Mine works for as long as I use it without the a/c. It is a great machine.
