    Alright, everything was fine with my g1s when i got it back from servicing, but i checked the computer info and it says i must put in a vista product key to activate, windows, because the one entered is not correct. How can this be? and where would the vista key be, because i didnt get a vista cd or anything with the g1s :confused: and it says ive only got like 2 days left to activate

    You should have a Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your machine that lists the OS and the product key.
