got it from cool unipack..

hi all,
my netbook suddenly died tonight,
dunno what caused the problem,
at first, the netbook was idle, then it suddenly hang after i moved the cursor,.

i turned off the power, and then turned it on back,
but unfortunately it cannot boot up, it says please insert hardisk (something like that),

i did a bios test, it says the harddisk got failure..
i cannot use system recovery also, it keep repeating "please insert hardisk (something like that)"


so, i think my netbook totally cannot be saved anymore,

is there anything i can do besides claim for warranty?
if i were to send for warranty claim, where should i send to? can give hp address?
what documents need to bring along?

do you think my problem is warrantied?

please help, i use this netbook not even reach a month yet, got it from the cool unipack student package.
and thank you in advanced..


i really like the netbook, it does replace my old toshiba laptop.. (still working good even after 3 yrs)
but i didnt expect the netbook cant even last until raya

but the problem is i can play music / video through hp quickweb.. haihh..

lowyat got hp service center? what document need to bring?

thanks, but somehow last night i manage to repair windows, it was freaking 6 hrs long.. from 1 am till 7 am this morning..
but after that the windows is very slow, like having 128MB ram on a vista.. maybe the windows files got corrupted somewhere

so i did system recovery.
so far so good.

next, i will go check the harddisk connection. make sure everything is secure and firm.

thanks for the suggestion.

i just got back from class havent download the program yet, but before i leave, i did use the windows check drive for errors.
(right click on c, properties>tools>check now)
the result says got bad clusters and have been repaired..

the hard disk sentinel from the website got paid and free, is the free one ok?

The drive found 5 bad sectors during its self test.
There are 5 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
At this point, warranty replacement of the disk is not yet possible, only if the health drops further.
It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there.

No actions needed.

Performance 100%
Health 92%

-from the HD Sentinel

omg, so serious?
so if i go hp service center, and say this netbook got bad sector, will they accept it? because the problem not obvious like cannot start windows or something..

i think i'll go after cuti raya..lol..

oh, thank you for all of your replies, u guys have been really helpful..

weird, today the hard disk sentinel says like this

"The hard disk status is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors were not found and there are no spin up or data transfer errors.

No actions needed.
"
performance 100%
health 100%

lol, my mini 110 just died again. tomorrow will go service center..
#went to hp service center today, but when run the checkdisk, it was ok. fuuuu..
so, cannot claim new hdd.. just do system recovery..

i'm using cometbird to reduce the memory usage.
it can use most firefox plugins too.

try first. if slow, can uninstall what

i use Cometbird, it's a rip off from firefox, but lighter for the RAM.. it can use most firefox addons too..

my hdd kaput already..

nais.. i send my netbook for RMA last sunday. hdd failure..
tomorrow can collect already.. so about 6 days..
faster than i expected.. (i thought 2 weeks)
