            <description>My area is KL and I&amp;#39;m looking for a place to buy a mailbox, a real conventional mailbox to put infront of my house (not virtual one) I wonder if anyone knows a place I can go to? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks.</description>

            <title>Sent my laptop to service centre for repair</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2063469</link>
            <description>Hi guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My laptop had a problem and wont boot up properly, the graphic card was faulty due to overheating, i suppose.&lt;br /&gt;I found out on youtube that you could just heat up the motherboard in the oven or just blow hot air with hot air gun over the gpu chip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also heard that heating the gpu chip is only a temporary fix so I didn&amp;#39;t send it to a repair shop to have that done even though it will cost me cheaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I sent it to the laptop manufacturer&amp;#39;s service center and they told me that they will replace the current motherboard with a new motherboard and will cost me around RM 1k plus (Warranty has expired)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be done sometime this week and I told a friend of mine about this and he was surprised that I agreed to have the repair job done. I know its pricey and with the money I&amp;#39;m paying for this repair I can get a new laptop with a few hundred &amp;#036; top up . But I think its not too bad, with a new motherboard its gonna be almost like a new laptop, although not entirely, but to me I think it is worth it, the exterior of the laptop is still looking like new and I am still in love with this laptop and everything else is working perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend after that made a sarcastic comment : &amp;quot;Well then, just make sure they really change the motherboard&amp;#33;&amp;quot; And it hit me, that he may be right, what if they only solder the gpu chip? The laptop will boot up and work but thats not what I&amp;#39;m paying for. My question is how do I really make sure that the old motherboard is being replaced with a new one? I will be collecting it sometime this week when its done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you in advance. If you have any suggestions or answer to my question please let me know. Thanks.  &lt;!--emo&amp;:respect:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='notworthy.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;</description>
