Japanese electronics manufacturer Sony has announced the start date of its programme to replace faulty laptop batteries that could overheat and catch fire.

Starting on May 19, owners of the Sony Vaio Fit 11A laptop can contact service centres in Hong Kong and Macau to arrange a replacement for the batteries, produced by Panasonic, that caused partial burns to the outer casing of at least four computers.
