Erm hard to explain. For my laptop I didn't really see it as yellow it seem like a grey yellow even I have already adjust the brightness. This maybe due to the LCD angle. doh.gif

I just reflash the BIOS;it really shocked me when the BIOS finish update with the sound "pop". sweat.gif

I had been using Dell Inspiron 6400 for more than a year & recently I encounter one problem, do not know if this is the right thread to post my question.

There are 2 power on button for 6400, the normal on/off on the right to access WindowOS or the MediaDirect to go into MediaHome directly. Unfortunately, lately the MediaDirect button of my 6400 is not responding & only prompt me to a blue screen. Any idea why? Thanks.

Maybe u ter-format the direct media. So reinstall the direct media if you want to use it.

This is because you paid over the counter right at PC fair...i just hand in the form to Quinn, she do manual for me so that i no need to Q up..they have not charge me also
*
Easily can be solved. Get her email, write down black and white that you want to cancel the order immediately since have not yet charge on your credit card. Remember to carbon copy and loop their manager inside. Don't use call because you don't have proof.
They always said will charge manual due to their internal comission. Those are new agent mostly.

Another sales representative Amy Chow did this to one of my order also. If you heard her name you can hang up the call and call other sales rep. thumbup.gif

She make a wrong quote for me twice. Long story....anyway I already settle it directly with michael. laugh.gif

QUOTE(stacko @ Apr 16 2007, 06:23 PM)
The complaints do have merits, but please spare some thought for those working at Dell's booth yesterday.

I believe they worked until late yesterday night and then this morning would have to report back for work at Dell Penang. I also believe there are a lot of orders for them to process, so please give them some leeway. If other days also service like that, then yes complain to their manager.

I placed my 6400 order yesterday noon at the booth with Daniel and no problem at all.
Well that's not the main reason actually. Their sales rep only focus on sales only, any issue they don't really care especially after sales service. That's why their customer care dept. now is over 200ppl just to handle their sales shit. laugh.gif

Btw, pc fair at kl cheaper than online one?Got extra discount or free gift? If not why need to queue and to buy?

New update on Inspiron 6400:
If you want to buy laptop on I6400, buy now because tomorrow price is RM2699 (today price RM2599) and no free upgrade to 1024MB for basic spec on 1st selection there. I do prefer get the 2nd selection on promotion. Besides many promotion offer will be removed. smile.gif

Ops my eyes must be blur due to the stupid LCD. doh.gif

My 2nd 9cell battery. I fully charge around 3hrs with off system.

1st 9 cell battery I didn't fully charge for the 1st time because I was desperate to use it when it arrived. So directly use it till the battery empty then only charge it overnight. sweat.gif

Not all new battery is fully charge. Coz my 2nd battery arrived i on the adapter, its light up the battery light icon.

If you guys really got bad services given by those agent. Remember to complaint or escalate them. Because one day they may become the manager their whole team do the same bad services to the rest of the customer. When we need to voice out what bad experience been given by them, so they will learn from that and improve. icon_idea.gif

yeh.... receive my notebook today...... one problem is why my ATI X1400 only have 128MB.  (I refer to dedicated video memory in display setting)

isit everyone here with ATI X1400 also like this ?
*
Please do not get confuse. The reason they put 256MB? Because they can cheat more customer to buy it. drool.gif On board graphic card memory contain 128MB only, the rest is shared memory using your RAM.

Here a description which make you see it clearly. Look at the footnote 3.

The main problem happen here.

"ATI have for many years had their hands tied with laptop manufacturers (OEMS) who request that ATI do not offer support for their device in the Catalyst Driver. This may seem strange, however makers such as Dell may have implemented their own support system and they do not want their customers downloading "reference" drivers from ATI's home page."

i reached home around 3.45 and saw the guy with his motorbike outside my house. i said sorry and gave him the cheque. then i was suprised that when i ask for receipt as prove that i already gave the cheque he said dont have. i mean like wtf? this is my money man.. how can i trust 1 person who came with a normal t-shirt with a motorcycle? then I asked him to wait and i called the person who called me earlier and she say memang no receipt. no choice lor have to give u lor. then when i give that time he some more say: kalau tak caya tak payahla kasi.. i kenot say anything la..i just say sori sori then he go..now think back like wana fark him nicely!
