Hi Guys, Looking for word of advise here...Recently i felt like pumping my ram up on my sager NP7280 but any recommended ram to used ? currently using 6GB Triple Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz X 3 slot

to all the sifus out here, i want to upgrade the bios of my laptop, i bought my sager/unbranded laptop from prince j last year. Obviously i ordered a Sager but i got a unbranded unit from him, which is fine as long as the spec is the same, so I didn't make a big fuss about it.

now that i wanted to upgrade my bios, obviously I seek advice from the person that i bought the laptop from, which is Prince J and asking him whether my laptop is a sager/ unbranded clevo, so i can download the appropriate bios for my laptop. He sent me a Sager bios throught email, yet each time he emphasize that if my laptop doesn't work after flashing this bios, they take no responsibilities, obviously I'm skeptical so i seek clarification from him.

from the above ss, he said that flashing bios doesn't relate to whether your laptop is a sager or clevo. But from the research i did, it is better if you flash only sager bios on a sager laptop and vice versa.

The point of my post is i think i deserve a better customer service and if let's say i buy a laptop from xoticpc, I am sure they will have no trouble helping me locate the bios and giving me the confidence, rather than shooting me a sager bios and say if you bricked your laptop, it is not our problem.

I need sifu's help from this forum regarding this problem.

oh so now you are saying that Sager replied my email and you have nothing to do with it? Then what's your role as a reseller? just to sell? what about after sales service?

If you wanna argue with me regarding it is still a Sager laptop, fact is there is nothing on my laptop that says it is a Sager laptop, so eventhough customer take off the logo? what are you trying to say? When you buy a Nike shoe, there is a Nike logo, same for Adidas, Samsung or whatever you are buying.

Do you agree? fact is i ordered a Sager laptop and there is no Sager logo anywhere within 10 feet of that laptop.

I am not trying to create any hard feelings, I just need the public to know resolve my problem, and get on with it.

And how illegear is as a reseller. Hope that gives confidence to future buyers. I guess my thought of supporting local businesses is wrong. It is always better buying from overseas. Lesson learnt. Nuff said

I'm not saying you should be liable for BIOS flashing, but you mentioned flashing BIOS has NOTHING to do with Sager/clevo branding. Get your facts right

I bought the laptop from you, all I'm asking is to confirmed whether mine is a Sager or Clevo. You can't even be sure of the product you are selling. So i guess you are right, you are just doing the leg jobperiod. That's all you do.

Also can you provide me the email of Sager's techinical department? I guess it is better i get confirmation from them since you are just doing "leg job".

yes i accept your apology that you mixed up customer details. my order number is #228

my other question is since you mixed up customers details, what if i proceed to flashing BIOS and bricked my laptop? So who is responsible? Is it me? Or is it because you mixed up with other customers and provided me a faulty BIOS? Are you just gonna apologized like how you do now?

anyways i found something more bizarre, on the latest PM i posted Prince J said he sold me 100% Sager laptop and have Sager warranty. i took this pic of the back of my laptop. It says Clevo on the sticker.

I think you don't understand my question. You mixed up your customers, and you apologized. Fine with me. And your colleagues sent me an email that contained a BIOS, what if because of mixing up between customers you sent me a wrong BIOS, what will you do?

I am sure your future or potential customers wants to hear from you regarding this. Will you just apologized and move on?

You don't have to divert the attention to Sager Notebooks every single time, because I am sure it is not them who mixed up the customers profile.

thanks for clarifying things. so every sager laptop that have either the style note logo/sager logo is confirmed to be a sager laptop correct?

so the bios your colleague sent me is indeed the bios that is tailored to the laptop i purchased correct?

so with the serial number i provided, Sager themselves confirmed that mine is indeed a Sager laptop?

I just want to be sure. I don't want to flash things blindly and ended up having a bricked laptop. And the confusion created from your part didn't help either.

need advice..

my brother's NP5165 ac adaptor kaput already. can we use jalan pasar adaptor or we need to buy the original sager adaptor?

thanks!

Yup, that's why I was in a dilemma to get from illegear or xoticpc. In the end, since it had promotion, I opted to with xoticpc.

ok let me do some math here, xoticpc.com offer 1280 usd +200 for shipping giving total = 1480 that makes 4626 ringgit versus 5200 illegear.com
but let's take this scenario: you buy for 1480(pay by cimbclicks, credit card or paypal) then send it to virtual us address(basically this are companies in us which buyer given US address where he can send items from us, later that company packs you items and send them to here, examples are www.myus.com(charge max usd 100 for shipping to Malaysia, or other read more here Click Me some of them allow to ship for USD 50) that makes best scenario is 1480(notebook) + 50(shipping to Malaysia) equals to USD 1330 or  4157 ringgit vs 5200(1043 rinngit save)
ok, that was best possible scenario. it's drawbacks:
1. not safe(at least you will worry)
2. i'm now so sure how  warranty will work
3. not so sure with the tax, your item can stuck at the custom and you will have to pay for tax 10%
Ok some important notes here:
1. I'm not trying to steal or anyhow harm illegear.com
2. it's all on your own risk
3. it's all theoretical

p.s. actually I would love to buy from illegear.com but the price is bit high.

Chaooz try to download MSI Kombustor it will force activate the Nvidia card thus showing it in CPUID..however mine is showing the intel HD4000 graphic but its actually the 7970m temps.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
