Just sharing my experiences on warranty claiming.

I am using a Hp old lappy (G42), I didn't do maintenance on my laptop and recently my laptop has overheated and something broken down. I opened up myself and o all the checking but don't know what's the problem.

I sent it to service center, 1 week before warranty ends, and the service center take my laptop even though it is obvious that I opened it before (screw lost). Within 3 days my laptop is getting fixed, mother board changed and done some maintenance on the cooling system.

Personally don't like the quality but I have to say such service is great!

I am refering to laptop quality, not service quality.
Perhaps I got a low build laptop, but I used a Toshiba laptop before and that was great , especially better cooling system (my palm always get heated, and the temperature inside can up to 80 or 90), both bought at similar price

haha, but I afraid it might subject to service center.I done my service in Melaka and it is great.

haha, never try compaq before so not so sure,
yea, my friend who bought the same model with me had screen problem within 1 week, but i am fine throughout my 3 yrs usage..perhaps I am the lucky one XD

haha, the laptop is already 5 yrs old, my bro is using it and the screen still working perfectly, just having some problem with the battery.

oh..i have installed some software to check the temperature and my laptop does hit to around 90 when running game or huge software. I almost can cook egg on the palm rest
