vivek how can i do it on myown. There is a acer sticker on one of the screws?I think i wld have to tear it up to open it up 1st ! Or does it just comes off ?
 
Hi Himansu

Try pulling seal with thin blade slowly & very slowly ,U have to be patience for these kinds of works ....

If seal comes its good ,if it broke just tell the service center guys (It came off while i was using it on my lap or inserting in its bag or it was not at all there ... u should be confident while telling any of the above ) .

Tell me how u did it ... :)
 
^Don't risk tampering with the sticker unless you are confident that your laptop will survive the first year ordeal. ;)

acer support engg don't know anything about Thermal paste or IHS ,so tell me soon what the engg tells ...
 
ya will update as soon as he comes, which i think is gonna happen on mon or tues. I am still suppose to call the service center so that they can send sum1 over. I already called up the cc but nw have to call service center also . Stupid procedure.I noticed sumthin ,, i was playing CS source STEAM , played for abt gud 20 mins and max temp recorded was 75.

Anwaz. I even cald up the CC and told them that my warranty sticker is about to come off , she said that it was not a problem. Just wanted to chck there reacition to it.

Dont knw weather i will take it off or not , will try for sure,

Vivek ,, where can i get that AC paste u applied, and how much was it off? I have coolermaster that i bought for abt 450 from Nehru place, will dat doo ?

THNX EVERYONE FOR VALUABLE COMMENTS !
 
I dont know about your experience but you will be wasting full 3 years warranty cover if the seal is fond broken, and trust me, if you haven't done it before then you will be found out by the service staff.

These temps although are the higher end but normal for Intel lappies, I have seen temps above 100 on Intel cpu's.. so dont worry.
 
^^ thnx for the advise .

I guess i will w8 for the service center guy to come in and open up the laptop. Then i wont have any seal. Then if the temps are still high i will go n apply the thermal paste !
 
Same issue here but with my new Lenovo Z560 (the gpu model)

the cpu temp is arnd 40-48 C and the GPU temp is arnd 50-60 C under no work load (normal web browsing) !!

m also 4m delhi.....dnt know how will this machine delhi's hot summer !!

@himanshunegi

u can go for laptop lamination at various vendors in just 150 bucks......it covers screen (front n back) and the area around touchpad !!

May be the new hardware coming out is not that good to handle the heat !!

One more Q, is there only vent in all the lappies ?? the main one is on left side in mine machine !!
 
^^ ya mann ! Dats wt woories me 2 .Wt happens in summers. Winters r ok. Anwyaz ! I will get it laminated this friday or sat after my xam, the screen , area around the screen , the touchpad and the area around that. Do u knw any shops in nehru place that are gud at it ? yaaa kisi pe bhi challa jauu . I live in w delhi ,, will have to go to nehru place to get that done.

@VIVEK

bro i finally opened the lappy. I used nailpolish removes , applied it on the sticker and finally it came of after 5 mins. I have kept it safe alag se for now. I opened up the part that helps me in replacing the ram hdd etc etc. Then i tried to open it all up, but for sum reason i cld not. I double chckd all the screws, dont knw why the keypad plate wont come off. Anywaz i will w8 for the engg to come nw and remove it so that i can know how to remove it 1st.

DOES ANYONE KNWS IF V CAN BUY AND ADD A GRAPHICS CARD TO A LAPTOP?

i have 5745 , there is a 5745G model that comes with a graphics card , so i guess my mobo shld also support it , ryt ?

Anyone has sum details about it ?
 
Ummm... plz close your laptop now before you spoil it ! No YOU cannot add a graphics card to your laptop.

As for the lamination thing, i do know a guy. Thats the guy i trust for laminating my laptops n stuff. But i dunno how to describe where you can find him. His shop is right around the leftmost corner of the main computer market building ? lol.. thats the best description i could give. Conversely you can walk straight from Paras Cinema. From the right side ie and walk up the stairs and keep walking straight. This guy sits right next to the mobile covers vendor at the end of the passage.
 
Hey himansu I thought u know how to remove keyboard ,under keyboard there may be 8-15 screws ... How to show u :console:
 
Do you want to spoil your laptop as well as void the three year warranty of yours :S your experimentation may yield excellent results but what if it goes wrong:crazy:
 
is the high cpu usage reported on battery or mains? does the cpu run at its full frequency when on battey

i hardly take it of the wall socket. But yes it does limits its speed to 1. sumthing i guess. And on wall socket or not , it behaves xactly teh same. I mean it gets hot in both the ways. Thank u 2 for showing intrest !

******** UPDATE TYMMMMMMMMM.

Got a call from service center around 12 today. Engg came around 5. His name Vikram, he was from janakpuri branch. He was like sir laptop cooler buy kar liyejeyee, it will help. Then i started my PSP VIDEO 9 and started converting. Temp went abt 84 with in 30secs. He was like mobotherboard mein problem hein. I asked him to replace the thermal paste. After a little bit of hessitation, he finally agreed. As he was opening up the lappy , i got scared. He was doing it carefully but he was mixing up the screws. Once we reached at the cpu. He took it off and asked for COLGATTE. Yes the toothpaste. I asked him y? he was like its the best thermal paste. I brought my Collermaser thermal paste. He got amazed for a sec and then started asking questions abt it. Y do u have it , does it work etc etc. THen after the question and asnwer round the stupid guy put the thermal paste on the cpu without cleaning the old one.I told him not to but he said he knows wt he is doing. After a little bit of argument i brought thinner and he took the old paste off from cpu as well as the heatsink. Then he first applied the new paste on heatsink then on the cpu. I tyold him that it shld only be put on the cpu. But i didn`t forced him as he was already upset with my interventions. Then he used his dirty finger to spread the paste. At that moment i was like ****kkkkkkkkkkk. Anwyaz. Once he was done. he put everything back , he mixed all the screws. We opened lappy and started that PSP VIDEO 9 software and started converting agian. This time temps went up to 78 and it took abt good 4-5 mins. THE ENGG WAS SO PROUD OF HIMSELF. U HAD TO LOOK AT HIS FACE.

Then he said check everything, i check the wifi was not working. He opened it agian not i can connect but the signal is very weak. I will fix it myself.

The gud things.

1) i knw how to open my laptop

2) temps actually went down

3)the warranty seal is OFF

The bad things

1)Wifi is weak

2)wld have to apply thermal paste again as i dont think he did it ryt

THNXXX VIVKEK09 and eveyone else for there usefull comments.

So lastly u did it ,some how ................:P

Did u learn how to remove keyboard ? ,I told these engg are ass hole.I don't know who told every engg using colgate as TP (Here's also same condition,we are better than them :P)

For wifi check a wire inside ur lappy if its connected to wifi card or not ?

If possible some inside pics of ur lappy could help ...
 
yupp , wifi wires r connected. Still low reception , Iodnt knw y. At my house abt 3 rooms away from the router i use to get a reading of 88% alwaz. Now at the same place i am getting 64% signal strength. I dont knw how to fix this.

yeslearned how to open he keyboard.

Soory abt the pics. It already closed ab toh. Whenever i open itnexxt time , will surely get them for u.

Can u plz do this PSP video 9 test on ur pc. Ur n mine r almost same , so it will help. Its a small 20 mb s/w free. Just convert any file for abt 2-3 mins then close it . And tell me the temps here.

Dat will be a big help!

Holy shit! Can't believe jerks like him work as a service engineer for Acer! Dude, you could help others by filing a complaint at least! Colgate toothpaste as thermal paste! :O
