Okay..now I managed to cancel my Studio15..but there's a problem..

Currently Dell is offering a 3 Year Next Business Day On Site Service at RM229

But when I wanna upgrade my warranty, it states
"3 Yrs Next Business Day Onsite Service [add RM 299.00]
Add RM299 and Upgrade to 3-Years Limited Warranty (Next Business Day On-Site* Service)"

Any idea what's going on? Too bad its already 7pm and their customer service is closed..

I asked:
And I'm just curious, is this RM117 3-years CompleteCover a promotion or it's just a normal price?

My sales assistant said:
RM 117 is normal price for Vostro.

Well, to make sure...just use another cable and see if the problem still happen..if the problem solved after changing the cable,then its for sure cable problem but if not, then maybe you can try re-install your HDMI driver smile.gif...see, can do or not tongue.gif

Hmm..I didn't know that there's such thing as a HDMI cable lol.

I tried it again few hours go..changed the frequency and resolution..and it works great! But I'll still try to get another cable lol..

Intel i5 430 3M L3
Upgrade: 4GB RAM
Upgrade: 500GB HDD
Upgrade: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Upgrade: 3 Years Onsite Service
Upgrade: 3 Years Complete Cover (insurance)
Add-ins: 9 cell battery

RM4,000 cun! ..shipping included  icon_rolleyes.gif


Added on May 3, 2010, 6:13 pmand for those wondering what is complete cover, it's actually like an insurance.

i buy it because i broke my compaq LCD before.. and it cost me rm500+ to replace with non-original Chimei LCD cry.gif (i was told the original LCD will cost nearly 1k)

the complete cover is additional RM300+ for 3 years.

it also covers accident like water, coffee, falls,.. which i think is worth it because 17" is too fragile and too expensive for human error!

Hmm..My sales assistant only charged me Rm117 for 3 years complete cover~

Yea..Dell technician once replaced a new heatsink for my 3700, he need to dissemble almost everything just to replace the heatsink lol..and now my 3700 is overheating again and I've called a technician to replace a new heatsink for me..

Every year need to change one new heatsink..luckily I got 3 years warranty..next time need to clean and apply new thermal paste myself..
