yep, expired for about 1 year +..

if ur location is at klang valley, then go to the glenmarrie there.. if ur s41 is really gpu problem, they replace a new 1 for u without any charges.. but if is not ur gpu problem, then 100 bucks labour fee + parts price..

if u confirm that ur s41 is gpu problem, then go for it.. they dont charge a single cent.. even for labour fee

thanks a lot bro for the info! ^^

btw, you just show them your laptop and they know it's the gpu problem already?

nah, i suspect is my gpu prob since 8600m gs is known as the defective one.. summore the symptoms shows my gpu is ady dead.. so i guess most probably is my gpu prob..

a dead gpu = install driver, u get bsod

only can run with vga..

and based on ur pic, did u install any driver for the gpu and successfully boot into windows?

after the screen above, can't even see the bios page... the screen just turn dark with green horizontal lines... can't see a word on the screen, not sure whether it boot on windows cause i didn't heard any welcoming music... but it does have gpu drivers installed last time before it died...

i guess is either gpu or screen defective.. not really sure about it.. bt still better to send it for a check..

will be going there tomorrow, thanks a lot for the info, if not my s41 will still be sitting around eating dust

good luck bro..

yeah, gonna need all the luck i have..

so you just show them you're s41 and they didn't even charge you a cent?

they said if the problem is gpu faulty, then they fix it for free.. but if not gpu problem, then theres a labour charge + parts charge.. checking fee would be 50 bucks..

great! got all the answers i need! wish you got your s41 fix soon and running again!

thx, and u too..

Holy! was just trying to boot my s41 and it managed to boot into windows safe mode! dunno whether should i be happy or not...

i've disabled the display driver, so if the gpu is faulty will get BSOD if enable the driver again?

update:
today morning i on my s41 and out come the vertical lines, this time got blue lines, i guess it's from the windows login page cause i heard the welcoming music, restart again then it never show up already

so i enabled the gpu drivers, been running 3dmark06 for the whole day, max out the settings and so far no problem, LOL!!! however i noticed my screen has been slightly brownish... hmm...
