hey... need help here... if my compaq/hp laptop got any problems n still under warranty, i heard tat i hav to send it to its service centre in damansara by myself.... or send it to da shop tat i bought frm but i scare those guys in da shop will damage or change sumting in da laptop...

so.. i need to knw if i hav other options other than tat???

chunei, u doesnt really need to send ur lappie in by yourself..you can ask someone else to help you send in..you can still register the form using your personal detail but your friend to take it..this was what i just did last week..

i have a question here...

v3164 (turion x2 1.6Ghz 2x256mb cahce)
got firewire or not ?

just send it by yourself. just bring the laptop there. no need documents. less risk.



yes, should have.

it's simple. if u send it by yourself, u save time. if u send back to the shop, they'll wait until they have enough lappies collected, and then only send one shot to the hp service centre, which will take more time la.

as mentioned by one of the forumer earlier, u can ask your friend to send in for u, just make sure he/she knows what is the problem with your lappie when the technician ask them

no, as it is a defeatured model. non-glossy black piano finish, 2x usb ports, no card reader.

service center is very near HELP institute. look for the bluish building with the hp invent logo on top. service center is on the ground floor. free parking for service center customers.

oh... thanks alot everyone!!!! im goin to get a Compaq laptop soon...

btw can i know anyone here own a Compaq presario v3133??
still considering which to buy.. either AMD Turionx2 or Duo COre...
saw tat many user here choose AMD because of its graphic card much better than Duo Core model???

actually i tink im goin for AMD.. but im a quite a heavy user...
goin to ON my laptop around 12hours.. i heard tat AMD will easily get hot..
da oni thing is to get a laptop cooler... but i heard 1 of a guy in da forum said it doesnt make any difference...

oh ya.. 1 more thing i wan to ask is about da battery...
can the battery taken out easily???

can da laptop ON without da battery but connected to da AC power?

yes and yes.

I just received my 3133 this morning. I'm installing XP now. How do I play a cd/dvd without booting up? Is there any software that i need to install first?

any advise????

kianwee: no you cant... only works with DV2000 and V3000 US models

chunei: AMD... i think the figures speak for itself(check main page)... get a V3000 with Windows XP Media Center Edition with 1GB of RAM if you are planning to get Vista Home Premium. it is NOT hot! please do not believe in rumours.

main page has been updated with instructions for Windows Vista installation. its very easy actually. lol!
