Hi guys,
mind i chip in a bit of caution when using s73g.
If anyone is xperiencing kickin out to desktop
on playing heavy 3d games, running at unusually hot temp,
or any weird behaviour related to the x1600 chip please
try these driver instead.

(bypass all the stupid chip scanning stuff from the official ATI site!)

It solved my temp problems and locking on "stalker".
Now my lappy runs so much cooler too.
Previous, omega driver seems to be causing high temp runnin 3dgames.
give it a try, it works for me.

thanks

Very stable indeed, but dvd had lower tolerence
for jack sparrow media, as compared to s73g.
Overall good, at least i get to keep all my apps
running till that little brat, Vista matures into a fine woman.
Then ill hump her good!

hey JJ,
Can I buy a seperate battery unit for me S41?
How moooch?

Yeah da dvd function fine scannning recordable
dvds and legal cd/dvds. However it just
gurgles and spits out almost every single Jack's
endorsed media that been fed!

U might wanna try peeling of those thick labels
on the surface of the cd/dvd. It does help but
don't mark my words for it ok.

2nd option, raise the flag and be captain Jack.
DIY, if u know what i mean.
Afterall, recordable media runs fine

jeez guys i shouldnt be barking out all this stuff

asss of today, july28, 07, the dvd reader crapped on me.
can't read past 2gigs of data on every freakin dvd.
Sure as hell i can replace it myself but not with the warranty
sticker in the way! So me only choice....
sending in to service centre and see what they say.
First true test of their customer support and see if i need
to grill them for a replacement. I dun live with faulty equipment
like some sissys do.

speaking of customer service, i recently sent mine to change the dvd drive. Couldnt stand that crap any longer. I'm prepared to fork out for a NEW internal one but hell, the CS gal said NOooooo.... have to send to Penang. I said look, I want to BUY and change it right away, i'm not sending in under warranty.... she says NOOooooo. (Leaving my laptop away for 2 weeks is NOT an option for me) Fine, so I asked her if I DIY possiible?
She said NOoooooo, it will void the warranty. Piss off gal!

Went to 1 Bangla shop and settle everything for 200bucks. Didn't even touch the warranty sticker at all! Loosen 2 screws and the drive is out. Whole process takes less than 2 minutes. Glad I didn't "DROP OFF" my lappy. So much for BENG customer service! haha. My new drive now reads every crap media like a bookworm on steroids.

Dun get me wrong, it's a great lappy, I had this baby working 24/7 without hiccups at all, apart from the drive that is. But really, the Customer service is something left to be desired. 2 weeks to change the drive?!! COMON!

you changed your Drive at lowyat ??

yeah, any bangla shop in lowyat will do. u need to transfer the panel cover frm the current drive as well,
if u want yo lappy to look seemless with yo drive, otherwise u dun need to. It's purely cometics option.
If ure buyin LG hitachi drive then it fits the current one perfectly. Kepp the current one if
need to send yo laptop back to BENG CS for whatever stuff that craps out in the future, just in case
if they comeout with silly excuses which holds u liable for terminating your lappy warranty, u know wat i mean.
cheers!

ya.... for cpu OC i tried b4 but to change the ram latency and do further CPU oc (which potentially go to 2.5ghz...) i havent, since i have no idea how to tweak it wif SPDtool....

thx for babyrabies's info, our baby s41 GPU can be oc to 3dmark06 -- 4029 marks at 600mhz core 900mhz memory.

Let me review the previous results:

3dmark05 (older driver)
500/700 - 4896
575/777 - 5605

3dmark06 (older driver)
500/700 - 2784
550/760 - 3018
575/777 - 3130
575/777 - 1024x768  = 3502

3dmark06 (Latest Driver)
575/777 - 1024x768 = 3849
600/900 - 1024x768 = 4029 ! WOW! Crysis is coming over! WOW!

From 2784 marks, s41 can actually jump to 4029 marks.... pls calculate the diff... it's 1245 marks! crazy! It's even surpass 8600M GT GDDR3!

HAHA! nuts ya? i've been playin crysis and gow for the past weeks at tat 590c 900m , not even a single bsod.
eat that gemstone owners!

gosh... u actually played in long hour wif OC? mind to share the temperature of ur baby s41? and do u use any cooling pad? if yes, wat's the brand and model of the cooling pad? lolz... i started the OC but i didnt play for long hour... kinda lazy to play game...

Anyway, I'm planning to get a decent and cheap cooling pad, any idea?

U dun have to play game to stress the bugger, loop 3dmark06 for 12 hours or render some serious 3d scene is goodenuff to know if it's a stud or a dud. lol! BTW, gddr3 ram can easily run 900mhz. Dun even bother with anything lower. It's an unwritten rule.

I dunno wats the temp but it only feels warm at the exhaust. Sometimes on cooling pad but most of the time no. I personally dun think it makes much difference with the cooling pad. BTW, my pad is NINJA. Silent killer ya! I've love to actually stress my lappy not becoz im mental but it's good for the peace of mind. like, U only got 1 year of warranty, my philosophy is - better crap out now rather than then... My experience is if a lappy can last 1 year of serious stress it can last 2 more. Hell, i really do think lappy's life is good only for 2 years before u disowned them for something better. BTW, that DELL xps 1730 gives me a boner. Perhaps that will be my next victim.

the real reason i am so disappointed is, only battery is kong, why shud i sent the whole laptop? cant they just take the battery and replace it later? haihh..  i called the service center, she said they need to order the battery from oversea.. and they dunno what is the shipment's status.. LOL!
as above biggrin.gif
yeah, dell has better after sales services.. and that's what differentiate top company or not..

Agreed, I'm a former Dell user myself and BENG is nowhere near the quality of DELL services. Good product but their unprofessionalism is a BIG turnoff. Why should they even appoint someone who knows jack about lappies at the front desk? Unless of course it's just for the sake of having "technical support". Though my lappy condition is satisfactory but the lack of good technical support for BENG would probably prompt me toreconsider other brands in the future. Dammit that xps m1730 is tasty!

Most likely she took the job as a store administrator and keeper with an agreed job description. Then the employers start to add in new responsibilities and strayed away from the original job description. For example, a store administrator is never meant to be a part of the technical support team, she is only in charge in administrating all the warranty procedures and other matters related to it. Because she was the only employee in the shop, she had to perform other roles which deviates from the original job description. Why the employers did not hire new members to complement the shop is beyond our questioning and reasoning.

Also we do not have the right to ask people leave their job because of their incompetency due to the above reasoning. No one would want to accept a job he/she is not good at or know nuts about that job. No employer would want to hire such a person too. What if our company has someone performing better than us and because the performance of that new employee is so good, a new benchmark is achieved to an extend that it dwarfs our performance as in our performance is considered incompetent. Does that mean that new employee has a right to ask us to leave our jobs? Besides the one who decides is not us.

As customers we can only feedback our complaints and concerns to the management of the shop. There has to be a feedback and feed forward so that the management knows about this and take corrective measures to address it where the choices could be to hire more employees, changing her role in the shop or to terminate her with compensation and to rehire a new employee with new job descriptions.

Just my two cents.

at the end of the day, its the impression that counts. And their reputation is reflected by their employed staff and their working ethics, no? Obviously, IF a company is serious about their brand they should be serious in every aspect of it. If I need to voice out my concerns on how they should run their support department, that is not a very good sign. To me, some guidelines and policy of theirs shows a total lack of concern for their paying customer. I guess this is what pisses people off. Mind u those are only trivial matters...
