for all sad s41 users, i think they change your mobo for free for the 1st time, but for the 2nd time, they charge you 1.5k for it. and regarding the changing the mobo from s41 mobo to s42 mobo, i can tell u that this is a very low chance of getting it. so far i only heard 1 person got sucessfully change his s41 mobo to s42 mobo.. which is a damn good offer by the manager..

only 8400 and 8600 can get free replacement for 1 time.. after that, u're on your own..

yep, sure..

called n asked.. the girl said 1st time free, 2nd time 1.5k..

9300mgs is low end gpu.. try not to "stress test" like how i "stress test" my 8600mgs.. end up back to factory.. just make sure u clean up the fan and monitor the temp will do..
yep, can get free replacement if really gpu faulty.. after replacing, they give u 3 months warranty..

just sent mine to service center few days ago..

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

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?

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

good luck bro..

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..

thx, and u too..
