So does it mean that my Acer 5750G is not affected since it is using HM65 chipset?

From Lenovo, "If any customer is not satisfied with the system board replacement program, we will work with our customers to find an alternative remedy, including a full refund."

From Asus, "As mentioned above, you may opt to return any affected products to ASUS for a swap or sales return."

From HP, "You can return your HP computer to the point of purchase for a refund."

Anyone have Acer link? With the word refund? Might refund can go for better ones.

Anyway, just checked my 5750G, the HDD is in port 0 while the optical drive is in port 2.
Anyone can guide on how to switch the optical drive to port 1?
Thanks.

Sure? But the web says the ways to keep it safe is to switch it to the SATA6GB/S port. If it can't be switched why would the web says it?
= =

Serious? If it's so we could sue them as this problem exists worldwide and they are trying to compensate to some but not all.

^But this web says that it can be switched?

^Yeah, I know that the programme is just to detect which port the laptop is using. The problem is can we switch it like disassembling it? Or other ways?

Yeah, guess waiting for announcement from Intel is better now.
Sigh~

Thanks for the link, not quite understand if it is swapping or full refund?

For Acer 5750G, the internal HDD is at port 0 while optical drive is at port 2, which means HDD will most probably safe while optical drive is not.

UGPM~

Just go in Intel Rapid Storage Company and press the HDD or optical drive and it will show which port it is using.

Mostly won't since it's the motherboard which is having problem unless your HDD or optical drive is affected in this short period.

In Malaysia, we don't seem a threat to them unlike other country like Australia where their government is more strict and Consumer organisation(don't really know what it's called, organisation which help consumer) is more active and efficient. My aunt who lives there told me her story. Her home phone is spoilt and ask for repair, she agree a date with a technician and deal with it. After that, the technician came before the date and even left a notice that he came before. However, my aunt is not at home that time, therefore she called up again and confront them about the matter. At first they are not scared or what, but when my aunt threatened to write a letter to their local news company and the consumer organisation they quickly apologized and even give my aunt free credits(forgotten how much, but I remembered that it is a lot). Don't know when we will have this kinda situation in Malaysia.

Yeah, you're right, it depends on which perspective they see their business. If they want to save the hassle now, they can save money and keep the motherboards for other production. They are hoping that the laptop will be out of warranty and they don't need to fix it by then.

Hey bro, so what's your plan??
Refund and get new 1 or replace the motherboard?

Wow, pls do a review once u get it

Custom made seems to be also cheaper in notebook category like desktop.
Btw, did u manage to choose your own speaker/subwoofer? Or it is built in?

Added on February 17, 2011, 8:42 amU refund already?

For me will choose N53SV if price is almost the same, GT540M on my 5750G can play nicely for all the games I played recently(NFS HP, Split Second, LFD 4, Dota) except sometimes after some time will lag a while and the trees in NFS will vibrate and decrease the gaming experience.

Lol, 2.1 is good already in a laptop, not to mention that u have an extra 5.1 surround system in your siggy.


Lol, when is the deadline for lenovo to refund?
Don't know if it is the game settings, or heat or the GPU that causes it.
Split Second is still okay but sometime will lag a while and need to wait for it to respond then only can cont the game.
I'm thinking of refund too, but just wondering how long it takes.
I need to use it in my college to do quite a lot of stuff.

Edited: PS, just realised it's in power saving mode/balance mode. Not quite sure which mode it is.

Yeah, I hope so too, if it is then I will surely refund.


Oh really, just realised it, thanks.
But why?

Noted, thanks!

It's very hard to say since they suffer millions dollar of loss.

Agree


Nah, normal for business. U can see 4738G pricing, only drop about RM50-RM100 from their original price of RM2299 for such a long time.

I doubt the shop keepers will knew it.
