I'll try to take some photos in time. Previous photos I've tried to take don't show it. It's evident when you run your finger across the palmrest. Very subtle but it's there.
My palmrest is to be replaced anyway. Will enquire with the technician about it. |

QUOTE(Riddhy @ Sep 20 2013, 12:32 AM) hi guys. is there any place where i can repaste gpu cpu for alienware and change my graphic card? i mean any shops do it if i give them the graphic card? I will pay for service charge but they have to do it infront of my eyes... If you rollback the posts. I have mentioned that I have done it before. Guys at Illegear did it. And they're top guys. |

QUOTE(xmastermind7 @ Sep 19 2013, 02:47 PM) good afternoon. hi im facing an unknown problem right now with my m14x r2. Probably malware and virus issues bro. Backup your data first then do the clean install! This is the best way if something like this happened to me. The problem is: when i turn on the laptop, it works fine till reach the desktop view (explorer) my security essential doesnt work, my network doesnt work, in fact when i try to manage the drivers from my computer it hangs but the explorer still running normally. My attempt I have to restart my laptop into safemode+networking and it works fine, the anti-virus, wifi etc.. then i did a system restore and it works normally again.. but when i shut down and reopen the same thing happens. is anyone here facing the same problem? how do i fix this? please  |

Download drivers from thr then. This way you will get rid of all the bloatware which comes with AW windows. Hope you're using an SSD. SSD will give you mind blowing overall speed increase. If not keep using HD and reinstalling 'clean' windows will help your issue. Cheers.thanks when we bought this laptop does they provided us with the cd? i mean to restore to factory setting.. i cant remember if got given a cd/dvd or not.. its been a long time |

Hi guys,
My Alienware 14 is expected to arrive tomorrow from Dell Malaysia (i7, GTX 765m 2GB). What should I do when first receiving the system? Should I make a recovery DVD? How many DVDs do I need to prepare? Or can I use a thumb drive? And do I need to download any extra drivers? Any settings I should configure before playing any games? Sorry for the noob questions. |

QUOTE(gomok @ Sep 22 2013, 10:11 PM) Hi guys, For factory recovery image, most likely is 3 DVDs. Only use normal DVDs and not Dual Layers. If thumbdrive, 16GB is the minimum and must be USB 2.0 and it also depends on brands. I can't help u with which brand works. I definitely know Kingston is ruled out since I bought one and the software doesn't detect it. Maybe it is bcos of USB 3.0.My Alienware 14 is expected to arrive tomorrow from Dell Malaysia (i7, GTX 765m 2GB). What should I do when first receiving the system? Should I make a recovery DVD? How many DVDs do I need to prepare? Or can I use a thumb drive? And do I need to download any extra drivers? Any settings I should configure before playing any games? Sorry for the noob questions. No extra drivers are required. If you want, you can update the NVIDIA drivers to the latest one. If you don't like the new GeForce Experience software, just exclude it during the update and use back the old NVIDIA update instead. |
