thanks to madstone for creating a new thread.

thought TecAsia is selling @ just RM1699 the other day? think saw it on the flyers.

upgrading in terms of? what graphic card are you on now? its impossible to upgrade from GMA950 to X1300 or X1400 as the it needs the motherboard to be replaced.

oh i see. well, you're on Intel GMA950. an integrated graphic card. so can't expect much from it. even you total up the RAM to 4GB you will still not able to play high requirements games as its not a dedicated graphic card like ATi X1400 etc.

since when did Steven confused us with his role? he knew he's not working for Dell or whatsoever. just a very big fan for Dell. so am i. whoever who's complaining to se7en got no idea what this thread is all about & Steven's position here. just ignore that fella, Steven. we always love you here.

yeah. they will come & check plus there's a fee to be paid for checking. forgot the actual amount. think RM100-200. anyway, do call Dell up & ask about it.

just wanna some my little nightmare with you guys.

i accidentally poured half cup of water into my laptop few days back. the water sipped thru the keyboard area & went down till the optical drive & battery compartment. thought my lappie would be dead after that as it just wouldn't power on anymore. everytime i switches it on, it'll on for 2 seconds then power off itself again. guess it sense some water-causing short circuit & turn off itself as a safety measure. but good sign is the mobo is still alive as if the mobo is dead, power on wouldn't even be possible anymore.

i resort to dismantle all the parts out & let 'em dry. took out the HDD, DVD writer, keyboard, battery & let it dry under the fan for a night. wiped everything dry & even tighten the hinge myself. follow all the dismantling steps thru our given user manual.

was really afraid to dismantle it as afraid that might not be able to fix 'em back later on but guess i'm really desperate till it gave me the courage to do it. my hinge was replaced once when it's still under CompleteCover & watched how the Dell technician dismantle everything last time so i guess it helps to know which parts should be taken off first etc.

i took everything out @ around 11PM & went straight to bed after that & wokd up @ around 9AM to install the whole thing back. was praying really hard that it will still on itself & back to its original state. miraculously, my lappie is ALIVE! or i gotta fork out some cash to get a new 1520 or M1330.

glad that it worked after that. was kinda lucky didn't poured the whole cup of water or the water was actually milk or something sticky. or my 6400 wouldn't be still alive today.

it's 2 years & 2 months old now & still going strong.

why you seems to be so mad at him?

i think he's just complaining about those people who reported him to LYN's moderators & Dell, mistakenly thought he's working with Dell.

mine max out at 60 the most. why you guys seem so high?

@madstone : get I8kfanGUI. google for it.
