Hey people... i am ex Dell 6400 user.. would love to share my experience regarding Dell 6400..hehe..

I bought my Dell 6400 last year May, was a good laptop.. the usual spec.. then my motherboard spoiled for unknown reason after 6 month of usage.. so it's still under warranty and so it's free..

But one bad day, which is one week ago.. my warranty for one year is gone.. and my dell 6400 can't start.. When to the workshop and dell boy told me it's the motherboard and processor spoiled!!!

He said i would either buy extended warranty which gonna cost me about RM$2300 or i pay the part which gonna cost me RM$2600... my eyes grow big big hearing that news...

Eventually i throw the whole machine into the dustbin! Going for Dell 9400 with 3 Complete Warranty!!!!!

Just my experience la.. For general purposes! smile.gif

I guess that's because of Dell's recertification fee... When a Dell finishes its warranty period, if I'm not mistaken, you have a limited period of time to upgrade to another year (or two)... Beyond that, you'll have to pay a recertification fee (I forgot how much) so that Dell can check your laptop, and estimate what they have to cover... icon_rolleyes.gif

Even more so for CC... I'm not sure, so freely correct me if I'm wrong... thumbup.gif

RM2.3k??? ohmy.gif u sure it's so expensive to extend the warranty?? coz last time my sis's 6400 HDD spoiled also she pay around RM584 only to extend another 1 year limited warranty even though her warranty has ended around 1 month before this happen.

i've asked Dell about the recertification fees before and it usually cost around RM100plus only. but i tink there's a limited time period for u to extend ur warranty after ur warranty has ended. mine has ended since late April. blush.gif smile.gif

want to ask something. I bought my 6400 around May last year when there was no option to upgrade the graphic card. So my question is whether my pci-e slot will be sealed like the pics on the first page? I'm seriously thinking of upgrading my graphic card. I cant play any new games!! sad.gif

I dun think can..becuz if ur lappy using intergreted graphics..ur chipset will be 945GM..thats maybe dun have PCI-E option(Correct me if wrong),Then if that time if u choose GC..then ur chipset should be 945PM..which have PCI-E slot but dun have GMA 950 GPU..

I called the customer service just now. He say currently cannot upgrade or replace coz the pricing in its system not out yet. He ask for my service tag, I dont have it now. He ask me to email him my service tag and he will get to me as soon as possible. I will post up the answer later.
