I bought my s41(8600m gs) in july 2007, having use it for more than 2 years i thought i've escaped the wrath of the cursed 8000 series.

Just before cny this year my s41 kaput, can only see horizontal and vertical line, sent to the service center in penang and they say is mobo prob and no spare part to fix it, so it's been sitting at a corner for fews months

Till few days ago when i heard someone that had same problem as me but got free repair after their warranty expried, i on my lappy and same problem again, so i planned to send it to the service center to try my luck.

Then on last friday morning when i was about to go the service center, i on it and same problem with the display, i restart and the display came back normally for the 1st time since 3 months ago... WTF?!?!

After that i ran 3dmark06 for the whole day on max setting (hoping to make it die again) and yet it's still running well, not even a problem... really WTF... but i noticed my display is slightly yellowish(like in the movies when they think back) after it came back alive...

What worries me now is if it died in the future when the free repair offer is no more... haih...

btw i'm using the resurrected s41 to post this...
