after slightly more than 2 years, my trusty nec versa e6310 finally decided to give me a weird look. yeah, i cannot see the display properly for the windows log in. did the lcd burn out or what? i had no idea...
fortunately the necare centre was nearby at haw par technocentre and that was where i found myself last thursday's afternoon. i had decided that if the repairs cost too much, i should seriously consider getting a new netbook.
edward, the counter staff asked for a battery or power adaptor which i didn't bring so he scurried into his office to get one. he proceeded to switch on my laptop and pronounced that the motherboard and not the lcd is the problem. gosh... that sounds like an expensive component to replace. :(
thankfully, after checking his database, he announced that my laptop is still under warranty. yay! bless the extended warranty. :)
now, my trusty nec is back in action after just 3 working days at the centre.
lesson learnt: 3 years' extended warranty is a very good idea. and don't forget your backups too. ;)
