QUOTE(GooD_DaY @ Feb 1 2011, 02:48 AM)  So does it mean that my Acer 5750G is not affected since it is using HM65 chipset? QUOTE(24seven @ Feb 1 2011, 03:20 AM) http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/In...r-Point-recall/According to this, it seems HM65 is also affected. Maybe those who have already bought Sandy Bridge laptops will be able to claim warranty when it fails. To identify those laptops that have problems, look at the chipset number. For example, H67, HM67 etc. etc. That's is a bad news  |

seems like it affects the processor and boards, so far.
any chance to get a change of mobo (say Asus or Giagbyte?)
Also any idea if it will affect the sata hard disk?

Engadget update: QUOTE Update: Jimmy sent us a chat log with an Intel customer service representative indicating that this recall only affects "some desktop boards based on Intel P67 chipset," that the H67 chipset boards appear to not be affected, but that the company doesn't have a comprehensive list yet. We've certainly seen cases where CSRs don't have all the info in this sort of situation, but still we'd advise waiting a bit before tearing your new mobo out and bringing it back to the store. http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/31/intel-f...pments-stopped/ btw this only affect sata port 2 till 5. your HDD is using port 0 so ntg to worry much unless u using e-sata port extensively. |

as i said, call up the svc centers and ask them wat's their stand... no pt whining here and ask if it's affecting ur laptop or not... we may know a lot but we re not svc center...
at least it's better than GeForce 8M... Nvidia never openly admit their mistakes...

same thing, call the svc center, and ask wat happens if the mobo spilt becuz of this problem after warranty...
basically it's a repeat of the GeForce 8M issue... some brands are more than happy to cover it indefinitely (eg BenQ), while some only extend the warranty (eg Dell, Sony)...

Doesn't matter, there's a flaw and I'm not going to settle for the price I'm paying. So hopefully there's a solution for this from the resellers.
I'm guessing a delay in shipments till they get new motherboards.

Hmm... do you think companies like Asus who haven't released their laptops won't care and just continue clearing the flawed stock that has already been produced?

Some will blame the brands (especially those who don't know about SB's problem)..

This just happened yesterday and the only SB laptop they have currently is only 5750G... Compared to their many other laptops, they would be least concern about this.. |
