hi all pod members have a 1 week old laptop with problems big retailer wont cover
its warranty here in aust is it worth bringing it for repair on next visit soon?
can be any location is fine singaraja most be most suitable here is $600 approx thanks in advance

Can you give any details, like make, model, and what's happening - like totally dead, or begins the power-on sequence but does not complete it, or what. If you bought it in Indonesia and it is Windows, do you know if you have a genuine licensed cop of Windows - or is it what they call here "not original". This will have some bearing on who you should go to for help.

Maybe you just have to get it repaired without using a warranty - you can find suburban computer places in Australia who often do a reasonable job, but you will get the repairs cheaper in Bali.

I suppose if its not component failure, and the screen is physically broken by some sort of accident, then the warranty would not cover it. But the labour component of the repair cost will be lower in Bali. The replacement screen will still cost a bit.

thanks ronb the model is a samsung notebook n p rv511 -ao7au

You could also consider going to the Rimo Trade Centre (RTC) in Denpasar. This place is full of small businesses but they network alot. So if you choose one for the repair, they will check to see if they can find the spare parts locally before having to order it in from Jakarta or whereever. The place I go to is Gi Computer which is two levels up. The main guy, if he is there, speaks good English, they seem resourceful, and their prices are good. But I think the place is full of others who would be also good.
