QUOTE(ahodil @ Sep 22 2013, 10:19 AM) so the warranty will be void la can consider as but you are in the risk of having it.  as stated by devour before, its pretty hard to get away the warranty sticker. he has done RAM/SSD upgrades on a Z500 before, and found a troublesome warranty sticker in his way. you may ask him for more info. |

QUOTE(ahodil @ Sep 22 2013, 11:30 AM) what if i go back to the place where i bought it and ask them to change it for me not sure about this. sometimes, it depends on where the warranty sticker is stick. i have done upgrades on a GX70 before but the warranty sticker is easy to be removed by a piece of thin blade. |

QUOTE(Meow777 @ Sep 25 2013, 08:11 PM) Thank you so much, nexus2238 and devour! I think you guys convinced me enough to get 14R with GT750M. Excellent. after remote diagnosis and still unable to fix problem, technician will be dispatched to service your laptop on-site within 1-2 business working days, including public holidays (IINM).One last question though, is the Dell customer service in Malaysia okay? Thanks again! since Dell is undergoing a promotion, upgrade the warranty to 3 years Pro Support for only RM259. |
