heres one for you all....
well i have a sager 4750 which is exactly 2 weeks out of warrenty.
about a week ago the screen started to go white when i opened it past a certain point. Since i need this computer for school (architecture grad student, i use it every day.) i deciced to wait for a whille untill i got thanksgiving break to fix it.
Today i got a wonderful suprise,
I openend the screen, only to find the machine constantly restarting, with a conserable amount of smoke comming from the screen. I quickly turned it off, and decided to open the screen (it was already out of warrenty, what the hell) What i found suprised me.
the bundle of cables which runs from the machine to the screen had a hole in the metal tape which protects it around the hinge. THe wires which ran to the mic were not connected to the bundle,( the mic never worked!!!!) and there was a burn mark around the area where the mic should have connected. The wires around this area where completly melted, and the wires around it were touching, causing a short.
The design flaw is, that the way the cables are put in, it gets pinched around the case for the lcd. After opening it (about 200 times) the wires completly worn out, and shorted, causing the problem. I am so angry about this, i wish i could get a complete refund!!!!!!!! It is obvious that the wires were pinched during instilation, and that there is not enough room in the design for them to move freely when the case is opened. This is obvisly a problem which occoured long before i ever bought this laptop. http://www.notebookforums.com/images.../angryfire.gif
Called sager support when the problem first happened, and u can guess what response i got.
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am never buying a laptop from a small company like this again!!!
