Fujitsu Laptop Users Thread

[miltongoh]

May I know if such external devices are very bulky? My main usage is for doing work in uni and it would be quite sian if it was very mafan to bring around.

I would say, once you plug it into your laptop, it should be 3CM visible still. Comparing with USB daggling there, I would go for the other.

Sorry, is call PCMCIA. Not PCI.

Help

Hey guys

I recently bought this S6510. I am facing a problem. Being a not very tech sauvy guy, i dunno is it a fujitsu or Internet explorer problem. The scenorio is as follow

I accidentally create a folder under my favourite in IE then i try to delete it using the organise function under favourite but whenever i do that, my IE jus hang and re start by itself. I mean the IE not the laptop..

Is it a bug from Vista or i did something wrong liao.. It is very disturbing as i bought it only recently..

Will the pro pls help?

Damn sway my wireless card spoilt just when my 3 year warranty expired.

Called up the repaire centre and they said it will cost 400-500 to replace it?!?!? WTF.

Luckily the guy asked me to buy a USB external adaptor instead. Does anyone have any recommendation for that?

Thanks in advance =D

usb one is the best solution, cheaper and more feasible, can use it in both desktop and laptop...

But bro my biggest concern is that it's too big. And it looks stupid if i bring it to lecture and connect to my laptop hor? Haha

I just used HD tune to scan my harddisk. I had more than 2 red block.Hard disk failing soon?My first year warranty is over though.
The only reason i am afraid to send it for servicing is because i scared instead of fujitsu replace me with a new harddisk ,i scared they use wat low level format or what to remove the bad sectors

This issue I don't think you need to worry about, if there is a hard disk failure, they will replace a new hard disk for you, why I am so sure? you see if they use low level format to remove the bad sector, how fast can they do it? max 1 day or 2 .... normally when I sent a machine with a hard disk failure, I normally have to wait for parts which is 2 weeks, and also hard disk replacement directly is much easy than to do low level format, lastly I will take note of the hard disk when sent in to the service center, those claim to be hard disk replaced I really got a new hard disk and they normally will put aside your old hard disk just in case you need the data inside.

But now i not having harddisk failure yet,just having bad sectors detected by hd tune.I not sure if they will accept this reason of using other program to scan harddisk. I did try using fujitsu hardware diagnostic to scan harddisk but smart extended self test just keep stuck at 19 percent for few hours,in the end i just stop scanning.So what can i ensure that they really did change the harddisk? Labour warranty same meaning as service warranty right?

Because i went for service before last time.When i go for collection,i receive a paper which contains my laptop fault description,and solution they used

Above got write warratny/expiry,(labour)24/4/08 24/4/10(parts)

So where did service go?or service=labour?

Another strange thing is that why my labour warranty ends at april when i purchase my laptop at around june
