search lyn for it. there is a company called asia-it in damansara perdana selling replacement batts and parts. i dig up the contacts then pm u

time to format.....lols.

i still haven't done it haha. too busy.

dead thread this is

6-cell can do you 3.2 hours, max, if you turn down settings here and there.

9-cell can do up to 7 hours for web surfing and all. i think i did 3 hours of CS over wireless and full brightness too.

This is all on a t5600+geforce 7400. You get better times on the 945gm.

eh when did you buy yours? i got mine in jan 2007 for 4.5k, only adding the nvidia card >.<

the usual stains (faint though) on the palmrest and beneath the speakers, and nicks on the touchpad. still looking good

performance wise still very satisfied. i have a desktop for any gaming anyway

clean out your heatsink and apply new thermal goop....its not that hard, just look up the service manual so you can take apart the lappie:)

well, our m1210s are now 2 generations behind the current release. Guys, we got a classic on our hands.

Oh fyi, we still got more USB ports than the new XPS. AHAHAHA

yeah but its dead, and dell reinspects laptops and certifies they're working before allowing extensions on warranty....
i think.
hmmm. well, can you get a 2nd hand one? for less than the price of a fix.

wow. vultures. XD nah jk jk.

azel, can find 2nd hand unit?

ps: the studio xps 13 is damn sexy.*hint hint* XD

whoa, tough luck -.- rm1500 ey? still, they replaced the mobo+warranty for that price right?

thank goodness my desktop took over the gaming role.....

hey, guess what, my laptop died due to gpu failure too...

initially they wanted me to pay to extend the warranty then only they would fix, but i called the 2nd time using the xps premier support line

turns out that the m1210 IS covered by an extended nvidia warranty, so they replaced my mobo today without a single cent being charged to me

working fine, but to get the nvidia coverage you have to call the xps support line and diagnose the problem with them, not normal support. THe normal techies will just tell you "we need to extend the warranty first"

necro-ing this thread LOL.

Azel, hows your laptop now? I'm starting to worry about failure. My gf's brother's laptop has just blown the 7400 -.- tulan i tell you.

At that time my warranty kaput'd de.

nice to hear that. My screen is now starting to flicker intermittently omg -.-

I'm breaking up my gf's brothers M1210 for parts or spare sales. Mobo is dead and dell refuses to replace :S aih.

T7200

Nah, the M1210 is one generation older. Max is Geforce 7400, but can play bioshock and cod4 at low.

@Cheesenium

which section haha its kinda like the m1210 club of lyn so....

@babysmile
won;t suffer i think, cause the engine is based on the cod4 one.

kay guise. I found M1210 mobos going for rm850, the one with the geforce 7400 chip. Gimme a PM if you need em! I'll do installation for a small fee if you need it.

Dell is doing this for RM1500+ including labor -.-

btw the dell warranties has increased in price by almost double, RM1300 for 1 year extension compared with RM1500 for 3 years previously

edit: RM800 for the mobo nao
