you are wrong, firstly bringstar computer is just reseller, not distributor, its different, secondly , thats no warranty extension under MSI malaysia services center, the warranty there offered you was under third party company

I know I was right. Haha...    Anyway, I have gone through not so pleasant experience with my both previously owned msi laptops regarding the Msi warranty policy & their service centre ( I went to the kelana jaya one, not the new location at kota kemuning. so I dunno if their service has improved or just the same)  

Because of these unpleasant experiences regarding the warranty stuff, I just bought another new laptop with better warranty service and I did not regret even a bit.. Msi does indeed have the largest laptop range to offer with some of the best gaming features on their laptops, but their warranty service is just.... not good. Sub par I would say.    Plus, their quality is like all over the place.    (Maybe the GT series is good overall as claimed by many. Below that, GE, GP, or GL, u have to rely on luck to not get any issue) Both my previous laptop got issues; the first one was minor but the second one was quite major and it is the sole reason I regret using Msi laptops. When got issues or lemon unit, you are bound to face the unpleasant steps to RMA & those waiting stuffs, explaining the issue with the hope they could really detect the exact issues yada,yada, yada... u know that. 

Another issue why I regret using Msi is the stupid void warranty sticker at one of the back screws. If the laptop was opened by yourself (for various reasons like upgrading internal & cleaning etc), & not by the authorized shop/retailer you bought from, the warranty is void....    what a biggest bummer is that when you already bought an expensive laptop, but have no freedom to open it without voiding the warranty..   

I'm not discouraging any potential future buyer from purchasing Msi laptops but bear in mind of these issues or u will have headache later on to deal with if u got unlucky.

Sorry to hear you have bad experiences with MSI laptops. This is my first MSI as I decide to give them a try. My previous ones were Dell, Asus, and Acer in that order lol. To be honest, most warranty issues is a bitch to handle, regardless of which brand they are, except Dell, who have their own service team. I bought mine, and there was an major issue, but I did manage to exchange it as it was within the 7 days, that it is allowed for an exchange. I'm lucky so far with this current unit, but we'll see.

I get the void sticker frustration, as I have that same feeling about it lol. I built PCs for fun and as a hobby, and I have opened a few laptops, including the three that I have mentioned, so I know what I'm doing, and was a bit disappointed to see that sticker lol. But, no worrries. Once my warranty expires, I'm opening that machine haha.

Which laptop do you have now, if you don't mind me asking? Sounds like an option for me next time, in the next few years, when it's time for an upgrade haha.

My current laptop now is illegear s7 pascal. Just bought a month ago. I got two issues right away but both were settled in shortest time. The best warranty service ever.   

First issue got logo sticker on the display lid chipped away in the first week of usage. Sent to illegear & they fixed in a matter of an hour or so.
Second issue, dead pixel appeared on my screen the second day I bought it. Send to illegear for the second time, they got the screen replaced one to one in just merely two working days. Bear in mind, I did include the pixel policy in my purchase order & it seemed a great move since my laptop got lemon display. (illegear standard warranty will only cover more than 2 dead pixels, other brands probably 5 dead pixels before can claim warranty if I'm not mistaken..)

I'm really happy with my laptop now and it is my worthy purchase out of my 3 gaming laptops I ever owned. Worth every penny.   
Planning to extend the warranty next month.

Sorry for promoting illegear on Msi thread lol...    I still think Msi got good selection of gaming laptops in the market with gamer oriented features but the warranty here in M'sia is just meeh...    and that stupid void warranty sticker.   

For me, when purchasing  gaming laptop warranty service must be the first thing to consider before opting the specs & features since u gonna spend premium on it. Of course u want it worth your purchase since gaming laptops aint cheap... Especially with our current economy,  everything purchased must worth it.

Hi All

i just bought the laptop few days ago.
below is the details of my current Ram

Speed        : 2400MHz
Form Factor : SODIMM
Memory      : 4GB
and also wish to recommend which shop are willing to help me upgrade the ram and without voiding the warranty then reattach it when you are done .

Hi fellas, reporting in as an owner of the GS70-2OD since 2012. My laptop will be 5 years as of 30th August. Just need to know, if I send in my laptop for service at the official service center, can they be able to fix my broken hinge ( known problem to all MSI GS70-2OD)? and how much would it cost for that and to replace the battery?

Where can I send in for service? Still loving this baby to the max. But with it being broken and without a battery, couldn't bring it anywhere already. Plus it's a 17.3 inch laptop. 

guys any of you own a gt72 or 80 laptop? any news on the mxm upgrade? let me know. thanks.
