Z400 / 500 is not easy to maintain tongue.gif

no choice as the Z series resembles the ultrabook like laptops.

My y500 can't startup
After turn power on the laptop is running but screen is blank
Don't even have the Lenovo bios screen
Anyone here encounter this problem before?

possible RAM failure. try to reseat the RAMs or remove the RAM one by one to test it. if not, you can try the battery trick. if none of these works, you may have a graphics card failure.

Still nothing
Gonna send to service centre I guess  sweat.gif
Bad luck

still under warranty right? request a RMA and get a new unit. biggrin.gif just remember to back up your files in your current Y500. disassemble the hard disk and insert it into a hard disk casing, then back it up.

QUOTE(Gmruleme @ May 4 2013, 01:40 PM)
why? what caused that I wonder..  blink.gif
*
most probably its the graphics card failure, or the ultrabay graphics card failure.

Can request RMA?
It will be great if can get a new one.
Overheating? Hmn, maybe I should buy a cooler for it  sweat.gif
*
normally can if still under warranty.

Y500 is known for overheating if gaming for too long. and yeah, get a good aluminium cooler with a price tag below RM100.

Cooler fan? I bought a few from POPULAR bookstore.. Rm20+
not sure if they really work tho... but like useless for me haha  blush.gif
my current laptop 3 years old already.. now the battery drops from 100% -> 6% in 5 mins time. LOL due to overcharging I guess.. this is my first laptop.. didn't know how to take care properly.. now really nid to learn lol since im going to byuy a new one
*
you have to maintain your laptop every 3 months. thats the proper way to take care of your laptop. for laptop battery, never use less than 30% as this is the percentage where wear and tear will increase.

the other one with 4gb ram and 500gb hdd is GT650M SLI, not GT750M SLI.

all are actually official malaysia spec.

but the one that storm88 posted is with GT750m sli and it is with 4gb ram and 500gb hdd  hmm.gif

but the price differs too. maybe location difference. hikari85 is located at penang, so my guess is penang is cheaper maybe due to political reasons. hmm.gif

both are official specs. smile.gif

The mSATA SSD is used for caching purposes or as storage?
If install OS at SSD how to settle the license stuff?
*
the mSATA SSD can be used as a caching or storage only.

i think you can try create windows image and install it onto the mSATA SSD. not sure if works but it is worth to try.

steps and procedures

Hmmm

What would be better?

2x 650m or 1x 750m?

I'm on a tight budget and those two laptops are currently the SAME price. Which one would give me better gaming in the long run?
*
get the single GT750M version 1st. when you have the budget, then only get larger AC adapter and GN37 exGPU.

GT650M SLI is can bottleneck your gaming experience if new games are released.

guys, sifu is in a dilemma between M17x and Y500 now. rclxub.gif

i planned to get M17x cuz it has larger screen and i like to play games and watch animes/movies in that way. but after some comparison, i figured out that i could save the RM2000 budget on a Y500, which the performance may outperform a HD9970M (GT850M SLI). to simplify my problem, i write the pros and cons of my thoughts to prevent myself writing an essay. laugh.gif

QUOTE
M17x Pros
-Very large full HD screen
-Graphics switching technology
-Scissor switch keyboards for excellent typing feel
-Customizable backlit keyboard and laptop lightings
-Cool chassis design
-Dual HDD bay
-Massive 9 cell battery
-A multimedia laptop + gaming laptop (PS3/Xbox360 can be plugged in to the HDMI input port)
-Good speakers
-Excellent warranty service (of course, after bought by dell)
-Personalized owner name plate
-Dedicated multimedia keys
-Rubber feeling on the palm rest area for comfort

M17x Cons
-Glossy screen (not a problem for me as im an indoor user)
-Heavy/Not really portable
-Very Expensive, even upgrades may cost around RM2000
-Warranty service only has premium options available
-Rubber palm rest can leave scratch marks


QUOTE
Y500 Pros
-Large full HD screen
-Ultrabay switching
-Lighter
-Cool red backlit keyboard
-AccuType chiclet style keyboard
-Brushed metal feeling
-Above average speakers
-2 years international warranty as standard configuration
-Full size keyboard
-Cheaper

Y500 Cons
-Glossy screen is ok but panel is fingerprint magnet, difficult to wipe off if there is no moisture
-Red only backlit keyboard
-Full size keyboard isolation could be better
-Not upgradeable
-No dedicated multimedia keys (means integrated on keyboard multimedia keys)
-Fingerprints and smudges can stick on the glossy brushed metal palm rest area
-Warm palm rest (not comfortable for long term gaming)
-No graphics switching technology
-Small backspace key (which used quite the most)
