Did anyone claim free repair for benq's joybook ?

wavemech — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 00:12:30 +0800

hii everyone my benq joybook s41 was died last week and after i did my research in last week i knew it it GPU's problem due to defective chipset of nvida geforce 8m series...so i wonder so any benq joybook do really received a free repair for this prob, in m'sia i think..

as i know,changing the mobo will cost me 1.5k.this is insane!!

so any1 did receive free repair from benq malaysia,do let me know and tell me how to let them do a free repair for me.

one more,can the benq joybook s41 just change the gc chipset instead of replace the mobo?

or can i ask them to change the gc to nvidia 9m series since the 8m is faulty,then if they change the same defective chipset for me,in case i pay for the service i will also face the same problem again in the future just like a time bomb!!

I really hv no money..considering should i sell it after do the repair...

my laptop went to no display
