if you don't mind forking out $180, I suggest sent back to lowyat SC and let them fix it for you.

I have my SSD install by them and they load back windows 8 and the one key recovery.

attach is the screen shot of the recovery partition done by them.

I don't have the chance to try out the recovery function yet but I manage to load into the software to perform recover if I want, so there should not be any issue as long the partition is maintain at your disk.

regarding the caddy bay, there are many external parties which work well but I have yet try on my Y500, but I came to know that Lenovo shop in Digital Mall do sell the caddy bay only specifically for Y series notebook for $150 but have order from them and could take months, order mine already from them.

Yes, I've heard about the ultrabay which fits in a hdd. But that is too expensive imo.. You can easily get another 120gb ssd with that price..

just bring it to sc ask for help

Jack sparrow problem la ni......

Solution? Very appreciate if can help

if it's only that disc and other discs (not necessarily BF3 only) are fine, it's not the dvd drive problem...

can they clean my fan & reapply thermal paste for free?? or still need fee's? (i bought my own paste)

for apps 1-2 disc works fine apps wit 3 disc above. give problems

Just go to dealer and check the prob.. It just a power cable.. Goshh..

Wow...lucky u...

I request that before, they said will void your warranty because of "unauthorized parts".

This is from IBM Service Center at PJ.

"unauthorized parts".!!?? LOL!!

Yeah, I was shocked then they said that you know.... =.=

soo, if i DIY myself (open & re-apply thermal paste), warranty void la???

ya, but i still do it.
It's better than it overheat and poof a very heavy paper weight.
Next time i will pick other brands :/

A repaste can reduce like 15 ~ 18 Celcius from CPU and GPU why not? (Base on my configuration and proper application)

too bad then..Levono =
but i will do it, like u said, better than overheat..

btw, what applications did u use to measure temperature?

RealTemp, HWMonitor, CoreTemp.

After repaste, then run some prime95 to check stability, Throttlestop to set the profiles.
Run Unigine, check GPU Temp.

The lenovo's uses a "grey" paste and a sticky like "thermal pads" i can said the thermal pads they use is a joke. :/

of coz they applied the paste is too much. Plus, they not even remove the plastic :/

I advice for ArtiClean set if you plan to repaste (remove the paste) and air can to blow out dust.

Do this setting, so you will know hows the temperature after repaste. (In Games) http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/...en-display.html

Hi sifus, i'm going to replace HDD with SSD on Y510p ..

1)so, how to enable SSD in BIOS Setup?

2)then, is it possible to backup the current windows 8 os and restore/reinstall it in the SSD? if yes, how to do that?

3)and how about the One Key Recovery function in that new partition?

4)or is there any addition here in order to setup the SSD, let me know. hope can teach me from the beginning
