I have problem with my 4820tg, if I close my laptop's lid, the lid doesn't properly stick to the laptop's body, there's a bit gap, it's like the lid is hanging, so I need to press the lid near the hinges there to make sure it close properly. Anyone having this problem? Can I claim warranty or send it for fix? thanks

today I woke up, suddenly my laptop cannot boot anymore. before this already got some weird dialog prompt in windows regarding the hard disk.
I tried enter the BIOS, the only way I could boot is by changing the controller to IDE instead of AHCI.

When tried to enter windows.. got BSOD in split sec and then my laptop restart again. I tried to use the Acer recover to restore the default Windows, but setup failed because issue with my hardware.

Then I tried enter to Ubuntu using usb thumbdrive, Disk Utility reporting , SMART status: DISK FAILURE IS IMMINENT
So I'm assuming that my hdd going kaput soon, now doing backup to my ext hdd.
Anyone know what's wrong, my hdd cannot be saved ah? to add more pain, my laptop warranty just ended 12/7 is this include HDD warranty?

yeah..dat's what i suspected. I have just checked my warranty online, seems like my warranty suppose to end this Dec. Can I claim Acer to replace my HDD with new one?

just got my 4820tg back from service center. they have replaced my hdd, before this brand is Toshiba, now this new one is Samsung brand. I hope it can last longer this time.
they also replaced my lid bcoz I complaint it hanging (got gap) after close. but they gave me silver/grey color lid instead of black. demmit
but then, it kinda love n hate.. it looks good too what color of lid you guys hv for ur 4820/3820 ?
the service center guy said he put remark already, I can always take it back after raya if still not satisfied with the color ..oh well

the service center guy said, they purposely rushing to complete all the cases before raya. for my warranty, I still got time. I got to play with the new color lid during raya, if still not satisfied or doesn't meet my style ..then I still can get them replaced

the pre-installed windows 7 HP can be updated until can get SP1 or not? the SP1 not appear in my windows update.. I have done all updates

oh ok. thanks.
i will check it

IINM, in the BIOS, the options available are to switch to Switchable or Discrete. But, is there option to just stick with Intel graphics only? correct me
