Hi guys,im having problems with my macbook and wanting to send it to service it. From your experience where would you recommend to service my macbook ? Is there any charges just by opening and looking at it? Thanks in advance

VR Technology Sdn Bhd (Gold Service Centre) -
Megan Avenue 11, Block B-0-7, Ground Floor,
No 12, Jalan Yap Kwan Seng
Kuala Lumpur 50450
Tel: 603 2163 2020

you can send there, if your macbook still under warranty and its hardware failure u dont need to pay any

if its software on the other hand... then you will have to pay the service charges.

machines also got a service center beside doing retail

i'd say go machines...
=)

maccity amcorp mall!!!
best place for me

best place for u but worst place for me. i remember have to wait one whole month for them to fix my macbook rss problem sigh

seriously?
that's a long period of time to wait
i felt sorry for u
hopefully won't happen to u anytime again
i've been to vr tech once
but not for repairing or servicing
only to ask for replacement screw under the macbook
but they didn't have it
anyone knows where to get the screw?

I want to upgrade the hard drive of my 1.5 GHz Powerbook G4 12" from the current 80gb. Can someone please recommend a reliable place in KL where I can get this done? Will VR or Machines do this? I also need all my data transferred to the new hdd. Please PM me if possible. Thanks.

where do you live? will you have any chance come to johor? i can upgrade for you.. i am a apple engineer too.. if you mind to let me earn your money... u can emAIL pm too...

Do i get charge when i service my Macbook ?? Im guessing yes and anybody knows how much if it is true ??

the service macbook you means is what.... by the what s your macbook faulty? normally... if you suspect your machine got problem once you send to apple service centre... they will require you to clock in the computer... and there is a evaluation charge if no fault found.... or the fault based on user problem even if your machine still have warranty... unless there is a hardware found faulty.... so there is no free lunch .... and the charges is depend the rate mine in singapore is $107 included GST i normally help friend do for $60 till $80 depend the problem... can anyone tell me how much is malaysia charging for evaluation charge in ringgit?

My macbook cant start, ever since i open and took out and put back in the RAMs. So I want to send it to check what is wrong. Im sure that i place it in right and my warranty has expired. Thanks for the info anyway.

Sorry bro - I live in KL. If you can do house call - we're on!

Logic Board is so not good news. Any experiencing Logic board problems ? !

Funny you should ask - my 8 mth old macbook pro stopped working completely just before the CNY. Got it to Axis Computers in PJ on the Monday following CNY. Received a call by late afternoon letting me know it was a logic board problem and a new board had been ordered. Received a call on Thursday afternoon asking me to come and collect the laptop. The tech guy waited for me to collect even though they were technically closed by then. Didn't have to pay a sen since it was still under warranty.

Painless experience and 2 thumbs up for the service I received from Axis. Definitely recommend them to sort out your mac problems!

Where exactly is Axis Computers located in PJ? Wanna bring my 4 year old Powerbook for a check up too.

thanks for the info, where exactly is the place ? Do they have a website ? Lucky yours is still under warranty.
sadly mine is out...

Good luck with the repair. There is a thread in the apple support forum about an out of warranty logic board repair - the guy was quoted USD 1200 (USD 1000 for board and 200 for labour). Might be better buying a new laptop

i better pray its not the logic board problem. Thanks for the info.

Added on March 9, 2008, 1:37 amI finally fix my macbook. Its actually nothing big, i accidentally unplug a cable near the ram slot. I just want to tell all macbook owners to be careful while changing the RAMs. Here's a picture that will explain it all.
