I thought of getting a refurbish mubo in ebay but I not confirm if it's the Mubo faulty plus it's not easy to change it myself. That's why I pay for it. Or do you know if those shops like All IT can do this?
RM1.5K covers the DC Converter which I have to return later on. Including the Technician on site manpower charges. Maybe should be around RM1.3k like that.

My PC is still looks very new. And with an i7 processor. So I prefer that I just spend Thousand over ringgit over new laptop which cost over 3k.

This is the weird part. I have a similar situation for my previous old laptop (still working) where my Mubo spoiled and its just over the warranty period like 3months. They give me options.

Option 1: Change Mubo and cost like RM2k

Option 2: Extend warranty. After I nego 3 times the final amount for that extension is Rm800 something. I'm glad I still can nego price and ask to revise the price.
I'm very satisfied with their service last time.

This time they don't give me extension and yet canot nego and they did alot of stupid mistakes. So many appointments made and re-schedule again due to their miscommunication.

Can.. those computer shops can do as long as they can find the part. I almost change my compaq mobo last time, but thinking that it is over 4 years i rather not spend over RM500 for that laptop.

oh no wonder. yeah i will always go for warranty extension because it's much cheaper. it's too bad you couldn't do that.

right dell has stopped supporting certain old models. luckily i still can get parts from elsewhere to diy if necessary. my old m17x r4's are still in very good shape (i have retired them since i play games with desktops these days). all i do is to maintain their cooling system (like once a year). later i will replace their cmos battery.

Aduih. Sien lo. After this mubo changes, it gives me problem again. Keep on sudden shutdown. Event shows power failure.

Before this, the screen sometimes also goes hairwire. I tot it's driver problem so I updated. Quite pissed off. After spending so much time upgrade to window10, this suddenly shutdown issue corrupted my OS. Oh Hell..what happened to Dell.What can I do now?

really sien :/ sudden shutdown due to power failure might be caused by bad power jack. it's better to ask dell to come see.

I dun think it's power jack. My cable is not moving also. Even if I try twist it up, down, left and right also no issue. Sien la. I dun have time to keep making appointment.
