Sure!! Welcome

On MSI website, under download section. choose OS version then look for the correspond software to install. Should be no problem. By the way, nowadays I think people seldom use Bluetooth on laptop.

Ya, quite nuisance also, keep beeping.


Yours GT683DX really my GT70 ancestor, I guess not much changes.

Max budget? Usage? Or you can go here first:

First thing I will say: 3~4k cant buy GS70, at least 4~5k. Bcs non-raid is RM4899, raid is RM5499

Yes, its GTX765M can play a lot of games, mostly medium to high settings for 2013 games. Also, people buy GS70 because of portable (2.7 kg) and slim (22mm) while not sacrificing gaming performance (GTX765M).

If you are not in mobile use (e.g outstation), you can opt to GT series which is more powerful (GTX770M and GTX780M).

If you are budget wise, you can opt to GE and GP series but gaming performance (GT740M, GT750M, GTX760M) slightly lower than GS70.

Your budget only suitable for GE and GP series. You can go to Midvalley IT Fair MSI booth to take a look on GE, GP, GS and GT series. They almost bring whole family to IT Fair.

Guys, the fastest way to look at MSI spec and model is through techhypermart:

Can you still claim warranty?

I just quick check MSI warranty, LCD is considered "hardware" in MSI warranty, however, MSI only specify "dead pixel" in LCD claiming warranty. Hence, to help yourself, please read the following quote from MSI warranty:

1.4 Circumstances where free maintenance service is not provided

In any of the following conditions, whether the Product is within the free maintenance time-limit or not, the Company may refuse to provide the maintenance service, or may request you pay related parts and labor charges, as well the to and from shipping charges;

You are unable to present the Product's warranty card, purchase receipt or invoice for the prove of Product still within the warranty period;
The warranty card has been altered or its date is hard to recognize;
The Product is not acquired from an authorized distributor of the Company or is acquired from illicit sources;
The complete unit or parts of the Product has gone beyond the warranty period;
Any breakdown or damage caused by non-compliance of regulations stated on the user manual, or improper packaging, storage and use;
Any breakdown or damage caused by installation, repair, modification or removal (breaking mark, damage or loss of the product compliance label) performed by service centers or personnel not authorized by MSI;
Any product breakdown or damage caused by use of parts not certified by MSI's original factory;
* The serial number pasted on a complete unit or the parts is broken, defective or tally with the mainframe;
Any breakdown or damage caused by accidental factors or man-made reasons (including computer virus, moving, compression, scratch (scrape), hit, crash, high temperature, high humidity, water inflow, use of inapplicable voltage, non-factory battery and transformer, stain, corrosion, etc.);
Any breakdown or damage caused by use of pirate software;
Any scrape (scratch), liquid leak, crack, etc. on the LCD screen surface;
Any breakdown or damage caused by natural disasters and human calamities (such as earthquake, fire, riot, etc.)

If your LCD screen is fall below one of this rules, then really bye bye. If no, I suggest you post your case in MSI NB facebook, let them know your case. So far, two of them have posted their cases on MSI NB.

Yes, MSI has, but not common in Malaysia. If you are MSI user, you go to your "My Warranty" then you will notice you can actually extend your MSI product. However, it requires "Warranty Code" to key in

Why?

Ok, mostly it is caused by driver issue. First, to check it is driver issue or not, you try to boot into safe mode first and look the problem still persist.

later, you try update your AMD 8970M driver either from MSI or AMD website.

After update, the problem still persist, you try restore to a point that before this problem happen. Try recall what software you recently installed and may be there is a crash when using those software.

Edit: confirm Accidentally Hardware issue

This one really cannot claim warranty. Even you close your lid either hard or soft, I dont think the problem will extend to your attached photo level.

If you really want to fix it, you need to go to authorized shop and ask them to see whether any connector loosen or rosak IF it is considered HARDWARE FAILURE



Issue solved?

yup RM500~700 may be, ask MSI how much they charge.

Haha, have you read my signature?

And better dont sell, if new coming AMD Kaveri APU for notebook still FM2 socket, you are really good luck as you just need to buy a APU and upgrade.

you can buy from China or ebay or Amazon. Mostly, these APU are ES version. If you go to GX60/70 notebookreview forum, they buy the ES version of A8 or A10 of AMD Richland and increase performance for GX series.

I remind you again, it is still uncommon in Malaysia, even in US and Europe, they only give free warranty 1 year for certain models within certain period.

I think 2+1, I was just a quick look on it, so cant remember very well.

edit: link just found, it was in UK

Too bad, afterall it is MSI Malaysia policy. So, just to accept it, now we still have 2 years + 3 months warranty periods after completing that survey.

May be Malaysia is not MSI big market yet, not like other country.

So, you still want to buy MSI even you know the truth?

What are you waiting for? Just buy it

Haha, why not wait for few months and take a look on renew GTX8??M gaming laptops?

Hopefully, GTX860M is not on par with GTX770M, if not I will be very upset of my new bought GT70
