Yesterday still cannot. Now can order already. Too bad, I have one already.

you knew there is nothing significant about the refresh yet you still show ? lol!

Guys, any ideas? I'm totally screwed!

Long story short, was cleaning up the vents as usual on my M15x, as it was starting to overheat. So in order to do that there are tons of stuff to remove, so after cleaning it, I'd noticed that non of the screws on the heatsink for the CPU side are able to get back into the holes, then only I'd noticed that the holes are just holes, nothing to hold the screws in anymore. My guess it due to the heat and everything, the holes that were ok before were too hot and dry till they crumbled, so now I can't seem to fit the screws in and the heatsink is having problems contacting, so the heat does not disperse properly.

What do I need to change? The whole motherboard?



The four holes that seems different from this picture is that this has like metal parts, mine totally black, just holes.

oh when you took the cpu heatsink out you didn't notice anything weird? perhaps the screw holders were still attached to the screws?

Nope, not there at all. It was loose to start with, so I didn't had any difficulty like the first time removing it.

jeng jeng jeng, newly refreshed AW 17 looks tasty. but still, R4 nerd here.

Aiyo, at least the "8" looks nicer than the "7"

niceee
consider offering such service ?

i think about getting chrome for my future R4.

Wow the new AW17 looks nice anyone know whether the display is 60hz or 120hz?

standard 60Hz. 120Hz is for 3D, and you will pay a load of bucks for that.

Least im not so jelly now haha

Hope @putochip123 come back soon.

the person to talk to is putochip123. meanwhile, you could try to fix this by replacing the screw holders with something else. it's a temporary measure, and the chance are slim to fix it properly.

haha! chrome r4! blink to the max!

lol!

yeah normal standard screen is 60hz matte. i don't like matte screen.

patience, my friend. you are in good hand

I personally like matte screen because its not that glary like a mirror. But most of the time I use my laptop indoors maybe wont be so bad

Personally have not used a glossy screen before time will tell

need some skills to get chrome wrapping though. one simple mistake and wrong tool can lead to air bubbles or visible scratches.

ah it's all about personal preference haha. a glossy screen is reflective but the color quality is really nicer.

yes that needs some serious skills, and a lot of patience. (both i also don't have lol!)

going to DIY ? or u got any contact for such service?

going to DIY.
even if i have contacts from those car accessories guys, DIY is the only way i prefer. i love to experience stuffs.

guys my wifi killer 1103 died a long time ago actually. My question is can i plug in any wifi card in m18x r2? is there a list about which wifi cards are compatible ...for the time being i just want to get cheap wifi card intel 5100 or 5300 to use for short term.

Can i get it within rm 50 in lyp?
