Overheat?

Is it normal??
How do i prevent it from happening again??

e74 the same thing happened to my falcon few months ago (problem with the gpu). i have managed to open the case and replaced with new thermal paste. done this for a few times but they can only last for 8-10 hours. then it came back. finally sent to tech2 for new gpu+reballing

how much they charge for reballing

it was rm400 at the time (march 2009). now is rm350(?)
tech2's thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/727355

You can also send it back for warranty in Singapore via GH or personal.

My warranty finish edi.....
It is still running although it has the ROD.....
Is it normal???

3rrod warranty is 3 years mah... your console past 3 years already?

anyway, even if it's running again, it still will come back to say hello to you

better get ready for it

oh,3 years is it...lazy lo must send all the way to SG....
Cannt fix it from the shops like in low yat or etc.....???
