It's either that or sending your laptop off to MSI for RMA, wait 6 weeks, only to be told by some overseas repair person that it's fine and you get stuck in a never ending loop with a $2,600 piece of plastic.

I liked Dells customer support, part sent to me via Toll priority, booked in with repairman, repairman comes to address I specified and fixes it. I sent off old part >_>. Would've been nicer if it wasn't chewing through hard drives and power plugs though.

I noticed a sign at centercom saying 25% restocking fee if you change your mind....There's no way I'm paying over $600 to give back a piece of shit...

I'll call them tomorrow and see what my options are....I'm guessing they're just gonna tell me it's too bad

A product or good has a major problem when:

  • it has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they’d known about it
  • it is unsafe
  • it is significantly different from the sample or description
  • it doesn’t do what the business said it would, or what you asked for and can’t easily be fixed.

Point one would be my best hope, maybe point 4 but they didn't really say 'it will connect to wifi with a decent speed like your 5 year old laptop which cost half as much'

See if you can just trade it straight for this:

It was originally $2,600 so I guess you can think of it as trading without losing out. Slightly lower specs but a much better overall laptop.

Battery relocated to boot

Do people even know what they are talking about when they write their for sale ads...better off just saying the km, a price and some pics.

I relocated the battery to the boot in my 4 door...

What's lower spec about it? The CPU and ram look like they're the same.. 256ssd same, no 1tb had though..

Graphics card not as good?

Display?

I don't think I should have to swap row a cheaper model considering the msi doesn't work properly... I'll see what they say today... I'd even spend a little more than the $2550 I already did if it's the difference between the next model up etc..

so only place I could find the drivers I'm running were dell site, (even though on lenovo)

but worth giving them a try

You have the same wifi card?

Man you're 35, grow up...

no

when you have people like Hamish recommending laptops there's something wrong haha

nice try genius... but I actually never recommended a laptop.

You have the same wifi card?

Apparently the top of the range ASUS come with the same card so whichever knob juggling thunder kent told you that you should've bought an ASUS instead is talking out of their ass.

Anyway, issue seems to be with the card's inability to stay on a single radio band. Looks like removing all the intel drivers and letting Microsoft default drivers install helps. Otherwise pull the card out of the expansion slot and install another wifi card that does 5ghz 2.4ghz and Bluetooth. They're like $50 tops.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
