Guest's review of Advent 5401

“Turns out i have had the same problem as everyone else...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 28/02/2010

Turns out i have had the same problem as everyone else out there. Loved the laptop. It used to be really awesome when i got it apart from you can't have it on any kind of surface it will overheat. Pretty bad when you're playing a game and then everything just crashes. Ok when i'm doing work for college though.



Just before christmas, all of a sudden everything black went acid green and everything white went an off white purple colour. pretty bad really.



January comes around. Turns out when the laptop is over heating, the colour goes back to normal so just though that it was a faulty connection or something. Holy nick was i wrong. It was the first warning sign of the graphics card going. just finished 2000/4000 words of one of my projects and everything dies. Oh well, i save it frequently. Turn it back on and it has 6 screens and won't start up properly.



As a pennieless student, i don't have the money to get it replaced and it's over the initial one year warranty. Time to LOL at dixons, they screwed up MAJOR style. got a letter from them saying that guess what, my warranty lasts for 1 year, 9 months and 2 weeks. got picked up the other day to get it fixed. Since this is a recurring issue as soon as i get it back the laptop will somehow find it's way behind the rear wheel of my car "accidentally" for accidental damage cover under the warranty. Discontinued line so brand new laptop time!
