From what I know is, the warranty covering the RAM would be voided, but not the other parts or unless the other parts is damaged by the RAM upgrade, then it is not covered by warranty... Though this may vary from one company to the others

iirc, you just VOIDED the warranty for RAM, others will still be under warranty ...

I see, that's better gonna try vacuuming when I got back home, thanks for all you guys' help all this while. Do let me know about the SC details too if possible

Well, for a much better way..i would suggest you to mail BenQ SC first before you go there..see if they can help you in any way...

hey bro..

would an brand news s42 without HDD and RAM be priced at rm2050 be worth better than a

s42 with 500gb HDD and 2gb with 4 months warranty left priced at rm2200??

which would be better eh??

and btw.. if i mix 1x 2gb 800mhz with 1x 2gb 667 mhz. it would still be fine right?? since s42 utilise 667 Mhz only

EDIT: I myself actually have 1 spare 500GB HDD waiting and a spare 2gb ddr2 800Mhz myself.. so i thought of buying a ram.. but could only find 667 MHz only.. so would it be ok to mix em up?

I would take brand new over second hand
with full 1 year warranty?

the ram would be fine, it would just run at the lowest speed.

yeap.. one year full by benq malaysia..

IIRC s42 chipset supports up to 667 only right?? not 800 no?

Doesn't really matter much, its not like there's noticeable performance...

I myself mix 667 and 800 in my acer and still running fine, where my cpu only run at 533

alright.. thats cool..

hmm.. but now problem is i cant get to the collect place..

its Technosys office in section 19 PJ.. dunno how to travel.. im from semenyih, kajang.. aik..

I also don't know

Trading in your K50AB or straight buy S42?

hahaa.. that bad.. haiyo..

selling off my k50ab and buying the s42 with the cash..

kabadi is selling his 3 months old s57.. quite tempted.. rm2500 but no cash.. haiz..

Wondering why would he want to sell off S57

his set.. got problem.. battery cant charge.. but can use lah.. but 3 months only got problem..

kinda worried new set got problem also. like what Chan has..

hope nothing is wrong lo..

Seems like S57 got problem with battery charging...
S42 only problem with finding suitable driver...

lol.. but then.. all the drivers are on the first page right/?

yup...

for S57, better get a new mobo from BenQ SC...that will fix the charging problem ..

Haha. seems that every s57 owners had that problem. sigh. i've already sent my laptop in on Monday. now am just waiting. will they call when it's done?

hopefully the problem would not come back. i'm in dire need for my laptop argh

PM45 chipset supports DDR3 1066MHz, DDR3 800MHz, DDR2 800MHz and DDR2 667MHz...

for S42's case, it's DDR2 only...

mixing RAM is not really a problem now... it will just run at the lower speed...

but s42's chipset can support 800Mhz?? I thought it supports 667 only..
