QUOTE(tobyboy @ Jan 1 2010, 04:08 AM) I bought the K40AB-RM75 notebook last week for RM1999. Reinstalled machine with Windows 7 Professional 32bit. Everything ran fine. Played COD 4 on this machine for about 1.5 hrs. Then shut down machine to charge. Came back from dinner & found the machine dead. Pressed the on button & could hear the fan running but BIOS check could not even load. Sent back to shop the next day & got a replacement unit. New unit experienced a auto shut down while installing Windows. The machine appread to go into sleep mode with mains power on. Had to off & on the unit to boot up again. Wasn't the heat as CPU was not under load. So went into BIOS & recallibrated the battery upon full charge. That seemed to have solved the auto shut down problem. BTW - I'm very happy with the performance of this replacement machine so far. COD 4 was played with max detail & screen res at 1366x768. No overclocking or underclocking done on machine. Graphics was smooth & fast. I got no issue with the heat as machine didn't feel hot when playing the game after 3 hrs in a non-aircon room. glad to hear you are satisfied with the lappy.. haha.. happy to hear about the performace too.. hahaa.. asus certainly has good heat insulation design..  |

Guys.. I'm desperately in need of a laptop charger for this baby now.
Just sent the charger for RMA.. they said need to take at least a month or two. That's too long for me too...
Do you guys have any suggestion?? Can anyone help me source the charger from somewhere.. or whatever suggestion as long as I can use my laptop back.
Please guys..

can always get a multi charger that has settings for different Volts & plug pins for most laptop brands. Cost between RM75 - 150 depending on brands. Bought mine in IT mall section 13, PJ.
