I have a slight problem, I suddenly noticed when I right click on my desktop for the contextual menu, it takes a lot longer than usual to load. Normally it'll just pop out after a second but now it takes around 3-5 seconds to show up.
My laptop is running SSD and I have checked for all the updates and also NVIDIA driver updates too.
Any ideas of what might be causing it?  icon_question.gif

Check task manager for ram and hdd usage. I notice mine ll hv this issue when hdd 100% suddenly.

Hi, Prince J AZIM@ILLEGEAR and huislaw.

My previous purchase Z5 have one HDMI and one D-sub. May I know can it output to 2 external monitor?

Currently the HDMI already connected to a monitor. I plan to connect second monitor via the D-sub output.

Beside this can this laptop change some spare part, for example change to current Z5 which came with Display Port instead of HDMI because my current HDMI only can output 95hz at 2560x1080 monitor. If it is Display Port then surely no issue output at 144hz.

Hi ijadputra, for faulty battery issues, we will perform a free replacement for the battery if the laptop is within the first year of warranty. Kindly PM me your ILG850XXXXL / IT1C10XXXN serial number, will check with our database accordingly.

I bought 3 years warranty for my Z5. Does the 3 years warranty covers the battery? Thanks.

The 6700HQ Z5 can upgrade to M.2 Sata SSD, not the PCIe version.

Hi Prince J,
My Z5 cannot on if not plugged.
If plugged then can on.
The battery showing 90% in windows.

Noticed the touchpad light is always on now even though before that I switched it off.
Last time it can remember the light is off if I off it before shutdown.

Anything I can do to fix this ?

Thanks.

Yes, when is the earliest appointment available for this Sunday ?

I want to do those too (I bought on 8 August 2015 with 3 years carry-in limited warranty) :

1. Dust cleaning - within warranty how much ?
2. IC Diamond first time reapplication - within warranty how much / free for first time ?

How long will it take? Do I need to leave my laptop there ?

Thanks.

Finally sent my Z5 to service due to cannot switch on with battery power only.
Luckily have to change the battery only.
Also done dust cleaning and thermal paste.

Met Azim@illegear in person too, very nice guy thumbup.gif
Also managed to poison myself with Fang mouse and Onyx tongue.gif
