I saw this laptop on sale...it's new one so wondering if it is cheap or worth it to buy?I need honest answers from the experts here, thanks

You using that for reading static pages only ah?

why not top up another $600 and you can get a decent set from ACER. To be honest.

Btw.. can any one of your fujitsu notebooks read xD card? I thot it was one of the card reader's function as well?


Ohyah.. I don't know why but i kept having problems with my S7110... First the LCD has a shiny dot. (I have no idea why is it shinier than the rest of the screen..it looks as it its dented -.-''). Next, I hear sounds from the power adapter.. (tick tick tick sounds.. )...
Then.. I tried hibernating It kept prompting me errors. -.-/

Hais.

For shiny dots.. i can say it a dead pixel... dont think you can change liao le.. AC got tick tick sound?? Go and change a new 1 ba, i assume you got this machine within this year.. so AC is still cover under warranty.. for hibernate mode issue.. what are the errors you have encounter?

Insufficient resources to complete the system API is the error that it prompts me..

I have sent in my fujitsu notebook on tues.. yet to hear from them tho they promised to give me a day within a day or 2.. I will call them tml morning to check abt the status of the notebook. I wonder wad can they do with the shiny dot?


FYI::
the shiny dot does change color when display changes.. Will dat be consider as a dead pixel?

More or less is considered as dead pixel. Well, you might just have to call them again... To me, I think dead pixel cannot be help but to change the screen? Did you poke your screen too much? HAHA.

 

[jestin_ng]

no leh..i treat it with care somemore. den 1-2 weeks after i bot the laptop i realize this dot. when i was cleaning the lcd.

den heck liao. dulans. its not a small dot ....it is ard the size of the small lil finger print...

haha. but will they change the screen anot. .. . -.-0''

 

[jestin_ng]

Anyway. gort a reply from Fujitsu..


They told me to fetch my notebook as they have to make orders for the LCD and power adapter which will take 2 weeks. Once the parts arrive.. then I send the notebook in again..

Damn.. Waste of time.

You service at funan IT mall right? .. If you did notice how "Small" is the service center is.. limited manpower and limited parts.. you should have bring it to asiapac at Henderson industrial park.. but since you mention 2 weeks for the AC.. i can guess that AP side also do not have the parts for AC wor...

You must not think like this. But have you consider how much the rental is @ funan IT Mall?

Do you see other major provider service centre @ Funan? Fujitsu quite daring to put their service centre @ funan because they are confident of their products.

At least Fujitsu let you know an appropriate timeframe of the stock arrival. Good luck for your changes! Do note whether payment is needed.

Hmmm. I have been using my Fujitsu S2110 for the past 14 months. Have not encountered any color chipping off leh. You just take care properly? If not go buy something like Apple one? Those plastic stickerS?

IF not use clear masking tape? HAHA.

S7110 microphone problem

I wonder if anyone encounter this weird problem

My laptop lid is now my microphone..as in i can speak into the lid and it behaves like a microphone..is the laptop crazy or this is one of the function??????

 

[jestin_ng]

For S7110.. the microphone is positioned at the laptop lid if im not wrong.

Its one of its function. The microphone is actually near the flipping catch of the notebook. I heard from another forumer. Actually till now i still cannot find it, Though i know it exist.

what is the model, is it 7020? agree that ibm seems to the most stable. heard many problems regarding 7020 so dont know if yours is that model

 

[randyap]

I'm using s7110E, does any users realised that whenever connected into a wireless network, the notebook produces a beep sound to tell you that(doesn't comes from the speaker). Its kind of irritating especially when you are in the library or any quiet places and i have no idea how to disable it. Anybody have any idea?

 

[randyap]

You can go to device manager and disable the hardware.

I think you have mistaken me. What i mean, if user tend to service at there, the waiting time is much more longer than the main office at AP as the manpower is limited as you can see how small is the shop is.. That why i advise Jestin_Ng to proceed to AP if she thinks that the waiting time is very long... But it okay since she already gotten her machine back.
