["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alessandro Pignotti, as per http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/VPCSB2C5E/updates an update is available for your BIOS (R2087H4). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  1002:6760 [Sony VAIO VPCSB2C5E] Power consumption higher after resume,
  probably vgaswitcheroo/radeon related

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I noticed that the power consumption, as reported in

  /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state

  gets higher when I resume my laptop from suspend to RAM. I strongly
  suspect that this is related to a bug in vgaswitcheroo or the radeon
  driver, since the power used after resume is consistent with the power
  used when the discrete video card is not off.

  Before resume I made sure the discrete card was off by using

  sudo bash -c "echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch"

  At resume, with high power consumption, the state is reported as
  expected:

  sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
  0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
  1:DIS: :Off:0000:01:00.0

  Still, if I run:

  sudo bash -c "echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch"
  sudo bash -c "echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch"

  Now the power consumption goes down to the expected level.
