Hi there,
I have a sony vaio VGN-S4 and lm_sensors doens't recognize any hardware 
sensor. I've seen that in 2.9.2

Program sensors: Support the VAIO "VGN" prefix for eeprom

I hope this will support my eeprom too. I'm quite a noob on programming things, but I'd like to help out as much as I can, so please tell me what to do to check if my eeprom will be supported by that release or what tests do you need to be able to support it.

Hi Knefas,

This is expected. Sony Vaio laptops almost never have hardware
monitoring chips lm_sensors can drive.

The only thing you can use on these laptops for monitoring is the ACPI
thermal zone (/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature.)

It will, but this isn't very helpful, as the decode-vaio.pl script does
a much better job than sensors for these EEPROMs anyway. And the time
will come (soon) when sensors doesn't decode EEPROMs at all anymore -
after all these are not sensors.

Oh, BTW, maybe you should change your laptop's password now that you
exposed it to the world...
