i have a fujitsu s2020. what i can say is that, it gets rather noisy whenever i connect anything to it's usb port (except the mouse). the fan will start spinning madly too when i play moderately-graphic-intensive games, like Fate. and recently, the fan on my lappy went bonkers. from the sound i heard, the fan was spinning way below it's normal speed. had to send it for repair, rm120 for labour charge. got the lappy in 2004.

and the lcd indicator, which displays if ur caps/num lock is on, battery, etc, is so 'strategically' placed that it's rather useless if u put the lappy on a table . with an AMD processor in it, i hardly place the lappy on my lap, else i risk frying my eggs.

i never use it for games.. mostly on work.. it started to get noisy when i synchronizing my pda especially running avantgo syn.

last time i was thinking to get s2020 because of its price

this is my s6220..detail pics..

fujitsu warranty 3 years??

or certain model only?

S7021 Owner here..
ROX!!

lifebook user..does ur processor heatsink copper or aluminium?

all model

you should have 3 years warranty right ??? why u need to pay ???

2 & 3 year u have to pay for the labour charge rm120 but for part is foc

is it same goes to dell, acer and compaq extended warranty ?

same but like i say u have to pay only the labour charge in 2 & 3 year

Why my warranty is only for 1 year? After 1 year i'll have to pay for Labour Charges + Parts.

Generally i can't recommend this brand, my DVD/CD-RW and fan keep dying out. Not to mention i can't get any service in UK with it. Amazingly that fella will diagnose my problem through the phone and then says nothing is wrong. I had to bring it back to Malaysia to fix it.

My N series are copper, I think, from the glance into the lappie heatsink. I did not open it up to check.



Which series are you using? Anyway, 1st year warranty is for international, 2&3 year is domestic.

I'm using the C series bought in Aug 2003. Yea i was at the service centre last year and they told me it's only for 1 year. Somemore the girl list out nicely the prices i have to pay if i wanted to fix my laptop ;

Service charge RM120
Combo drive RM850
Fan RM80



Are you guys certain it's 3 years domestic warranty? Checked it with the service centre?

3 year warranty only entitled for unit that purchase after 2004 july/august

Yeapz, Fujitsu is not gonna give u the wrong information about it.

s2020. sent for repair. power port rosak. cant charge. seems it quite common for s2020?

ohh..why only after july/august 2004?? new policy?


s6220 using aluminium i think.to reduce weight i think

year 2004 Fujitsu S2020 tends to have problems regarding the motherboard. So, no surprise you can't charge.

s2020 model owner here


just sent my lappy for fixing
where the led indicator is broken which they say it will cost rm 60

and my fan is dead -- rm 100 (labour fees)

day b4 i collect the laptop.. i received a call saying that they have change my whole mainboard.. without any charges.. coz the fan in embedded together

How Fujitsu S2020?
How's the speed? Do well in games?
The processor is Mobile AMD Athlon XP-M (Low Voltage) L2 Cache 512K 2200+?

odd. i have the exact same problem as u, although the broken lcd indicator was made by me . they quoted rm80 for the lcd indicator (didn't bother to change, not useful anyway) and rm120 for labour charges. u got rm20 discount on everything? mmmm

No,it don't do well in games.
The processor is Mobile AMD Athlon XP-M (Low Voltage) L2 Cache 512K 2200+

How's the performance?

rm120 labour charge for fujitsu malaysia sdn. bhd.

rm100 labour charge for micro-d sdn. bhd.

oic, should have sent mine to micro-d

I got my S2110 few days ago, so far it working great! only thing is bottom is very hot.... I'm first time laptop user... this laptop is light!

but the slim case carrying back is too small, i don't know where can i place my adapter together when i travel...

ya ya mirco D

i called fujitsu hotline.. but weird.. they ask me to go to mirco D

S2020..? Right, this notebook is not meant for gaming, bear in mind. It's an AMD, so don't expect great battery life. For worksheets, it should be fine.
More questions don't hesitate to ask...

Yea, for S series, the heat comes from the hdd and ventilator. I am sure other most S series are so. Get a bigger backpack or sling bag if u wanna load more stuffs.

that's micro-d's hotline

guanteik, since the heat come from Hdd, will it harm the hdd in long term? And those lowyat notebook cooler pad will help?

u mean the heat from the side or from middle? if from middle bottom, it is caused by the hdd. anything will kong in the long term, am i right? cooler should be fine, but wun help much compared to well ventilated area or in an air conditioned room.

hello guys,

just got myself a S2110. Luv it.
i can even trace whoever touched the laptop because the fingerprints just stays there. need to put a cloth together and clean it constantly.

anyway. i charged it for the first time for 10hours.
and this morning 11am i on it to download 1 game which didnt work, another 1 has problem and finally last one Black and White 2 works.
The game is kinda lagging though. even i switch the details to lowest and 680x480.
Then at around 1330hours. The battery went DEAD.
It is normal? i only test out the game for a while.

Tell me whats goin on. thanks.

y get this unit when you wanna do gaming? It's normal that the battery for this unit lasts mere 2.5 hours or less. depending on usage.

i didnt get it for gaming. i just need a windows laptop bcos i got ibook.
anyway, i thought at least i can play some older but fun games..

glad you found your dream unit

thanks. guess what..
i can play warhammer 40k, dungeon siege 2, LOTR 2 and Black n white 2.

anybody knows why my s2110 batt cannot last more than 2h plus?
is it because i use it for gaming?
but even if i use for surfing also didnt last me very long.
it makes me love my Ibook more bcos it last me 4 hours.

how old ur battery?

u can try decrease the lcd brightness

its..its only....1 month old

will try that. thanks.

btw..i just found out...today...after a month of usage...
that...my..s2110.....has.....
INFRARED.

hehe..i m slow..until now i havent even know how to use the application button next to the on/off button. anyonne?

Ohh.. that one... next to on off button got two... when you press application... there are 4 application for you to select.... when you press agian.. it goes down to player

to change your program... you can go to control panel --> Application Panel

to set your program over there.... as for me... i always use notepad... I set it to notepad and calculator....

thanks man. its so much faster then reading the manual. hehe

and that button can be use for security purposes

if lock.u need to enter the combination key 1-4 then press enter.then ur laptop can be on

if not, u cannot switch on your laptop

thanks for replying my small question in advance hehe

Another S2020 reporting in.. quite happy with it.. only problem so far my AC sensor.. changed it FOC coz still on warranty.. but secretly dreaming of an P7120, S7020 or S6240.. BTW, when wifi-ing, only get around 1 hrs worth

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new CPU cooler/fan for a Fujitsu C Series notebook. Please let me know if you have one for sale or know where to buy one. Any help is greatly appreciated

Wow i din't know that! May i know which section I can look for that security? thanks in advance!

hey, does anyone know how to open up a fujitsu s2020? in my previous post i mentioned that my laptop was sent for the fan repair. ok, so i paid rm120 for the labour charge and they replaced my fan. got back the laptop after 2 days. but i really only started using the laptop again 2 weeks later (i live in malacca, lazy to go back to kl to get my laptop back).

and guess what, after using it for 3 days, all of a sudden, the keyboard malfunctioned. suddenly my s, t, 7, F10, comma, back slash and a few other keys stopped working. i went into a fit of rage. my bolster and pillow flew zig zag across my room, but they keyboard was the same. i reformatted my laptop, but they keyboard was still the same. called up fujitsu and they said their engineer need to check what's wrong, and after that they'll decide whether to charge me another rm120 . bought a usb keyboard for rm17 to calm myself down.

so does anyone have any experience in taking apart a fujitsu s2020?

who say so?first year international warranty,2 & 3 year local parts warranty.

my opinion definately u have to send back and change the keyboard.ofcourse u have to pay rm100 and u can get back the laptop within 2 hours time.

i think is ac adapter la

i just got a S2110. I was told that it supports S-video. Indeed there's an mini S-video port behind it.
I went around looking for the suitable adapter for it. Guess what none of the store on 2nd and 3rd floor lowyat selling that. Only the fujitsu specialist shop at ground floor has one unit.
It cost RM150 for just a small piece of wire(it's an mini s-video adapter).
http://www.pc-ap.fujitsu.com/products/acce...s/FPCCBL06.html
check out the photo from the above link.
Anyone has any lobang to ge a cheaper third party one?

Enquired it from Micro-D. They are selling at RM 130 but out of stock currently. Fujitsu in lowyat has one unit selling at RM 150.
From U.S, it's as cheap as USD 12.

don't get the AMD unit . before that , we need more info like u... like what are they type of work u use it for,...stuffs!

Yeapz, AMD processors for Fujitsu units are not battery saving

1year international, 2&3 domestic for parts only

it depends on your luck dude. i have one s2020, problems free till now.

lack of supply. do some bargaining n u might get it cheaper

AC adapter is the power adapter thing right? Engineer told me its my AC sensor.. coz I thought something wrong with my display coz suddenly blur.. the LCD display also out.. I was worried my motherboard was shot coz heard that the S2020, motherboard easily fried..

fujitsu got toll free helpdesk

You are right, the old version of S2020 running on Athlon 2100+ can fry easily. However, after the replacement, everything should be solved.

Hey, S2110 owner... do you feel bottom of your notebook very hot? I feel its very hot after 4 - 5 hours of usage... issit happen in every notebook or only AMD proc? Hmm...

It happens to almost ALL Fujitsu S Series. AMD is especially hotter than Intel processors.

hmmmmm guanteik...
wanna ask you what do you think of the P7120? and what is the price now? been considering this or the P1510 or something... the tablet with the 8.*" screen....

care to feedback? thx~

RM 140 i can get for u

So far I am quite satisfy with my P series. However, I only recommand P series to those who really seldom use it as a primary workstation. Normally this unit is meant for road warriors or CEOs. Hope you get my example

S2110 owner here.... where to swicth on the infrared?

s2110 owner here.. hmm battery life for me its good... can watch 2 dvd before it died on me.... max usage for assignments( compiling codes and doing report) 3:55 minutes ( but din use USB mouse ) .. I notice once u plug in something to the USB then the battery wil drain very fast...

For the infra red... go to control panel -> wireless link.

happy with the screen.. bloody good... can say the best i have seen.

unhappy with the cover, fingerprints dont look nice on the cover. Heat when playing games haha.

other wise a true value price lifebook from fujitsu.. upgrade to 1 gb RAM and everything works fine..and portable enouf to carry around.

Thanks your info...
How about RAM. Currently 1GB RAM how much??
Normally fujitsu use wat brand RAM better??
S2110 using 333Mhz DDR1 ram..
If i buy 400Mhz to plug in, izzit ok? because i heard latest ram more cheap than old ram...

1gb ddr 333 ram cost rm430-rm450
u can use ddr 400 ram but better ddr 333 ram

hmm latest RAMs are cheaper... but our mobo cant support i think... so gotta get old one oso.. can get 512Mb from RM150-200. i bought from the fujitsu concept store RM200 for 512MB

How about price for 1GB ddr 400 ram??
price RM390???

me using c2220 ... damn blardy heavy hahahaha... but hasnt broken down on me yet

C series's weight is still tolerable

.. im a very small person ...

hi... i need some advice!
i wanted to buy a new laptop..
My dad was telling me tat FUJITSU is the best!
i went to do lots of research yet there is just too many choice..
and i m not familiar wif the pprice range of fujitsu laptops...
cud anyone help me?

Am using Fujitsu S7021 laptop ~~~
haha

any fujitsu laptop is good ... and ur dad is right ... from what i have seen and used ... fujitsu is pretty good ...

go shops to checkout the prices of the models ... or go website see the models u wanna look for first..

diff models fit diff type of ppl ... some look for small and lightweight laptops for carrying around (P series i think or S series)... some dont mind big and bulky with lotsa features (C series i think) ....

every series is aimed at diff kind of ppl ... so just see which one u prefer only ...

take a look at here

maybe it might help

to eelyn,

u know.. i think when someone is new to notebooks , meaning a first time buyer of notebooks ( just like me a month back) , its important to get a good and branded notebook so that you will not be dissapointed in it and thus leads towards the condemnation of notebook brands and stuff. Sometimes it just frustrates you to see that you new lappie just dissapoionts u...

Well first rule, you always get what you pay for. Never think anything that is cheap will be as good. As the prices often reflects the amount of effort put in by the manufacturers. Lets pick a few instances,

1) DELL - Competitive price with high specs, almost match a desktop, however , u must realize that this means a little less effort on mayb testing out the products before marketing them, less effort in designing the whole notebook that mayb results in more heat. Thus the failure rate, or more accurate the defect rate of the notebook tends to be higher. Ppl might say they have good after sales service, but come on, who wans to pay 4-5k to get headaches. But still there are ppl going for it as they are one of the most competitive in pricing and specs. most customers are willing to gamble on their luck to get a trouble free notebook as failure rate quite high.

Toshiba - Use to be da best. However a drop in quality since a few years back as they are no longer manufactured in Japan, meaning quality control aint what it used to be. But still rest assured that you are getting a top notch notebook. My brother has one for ages...still working but then he just bought a new fujitsu.

Fujitsu - Well for a newbie like me, i never tot of Fujitsu before as the price tag often put off buyers. However, it seems like they changed their pricing recently. All Fujitsu's are manufactured in Japan and every single aspect is tested out before marketing the product.. Failure rates are very low.. Niche market... i am using S2110 the value priced lifebook from fujitsu and am really happy with the quality.. you won regret it.

IBM - The most solid notebook u can find around. Intel personels have one each. very durable. almost the same description as fujitsu.

ACER - taking the market by storm.. onli happen twice... once with DELL and now ACER. However due to mass production, quality might be a bit compromise. Due to their fight with DELL, both have been offering lower and lower prices... thus cheaper and less durable components and casing. Offers up to 3 years warranty to gain consumer trust on their product.

Sony - Cool design.. Nice integrated webcam. Cool software for it. Quality wise, its good.

Hp/Compaq - Erm never had experience with them

Twinhead - Had a pentium 3 that lasted until it was stolen.. It was ok ...but still had it send for warrantycoz the HDD broke down.

Well conclusively, what i wanted to say is, for first time laptop buyer , just find something that will not give u any trouble , preferably a Toshiba,Fujitsu,IBM or a Sony... Its always your decision to choose what u wan.. this is just my 2 cents.

I never understand the hassle of paying 4-5k or mayb more and having to repair it in the near future. For branded notebooks, mayb you pay more for the peace of mind. Anyway, having a branded laptop is also like a status symbol. Nowadays u carry a DELL or Acer, ppl won even notice (its embedded in ppls mind that they are cheap). U carry something like an IBM or FUjitsu or Toshiba, well u try to look at their reaction. Just like someone driving a proton and mayb a honda? or mayb a BMW...

Cheerio

p/s : Get a Fujitsu... it will rock our world...
