    The issue is not abnormally high temperatures, its failing after heat cycles. Are you returning your M1530?

    Ok..so once you receive the 1730, you will be sending your 1530 back!

    You should have something via e-mail with Case #, and/or ref. number or even an ESD by now????

    i did the basics for pretty much what i could order but at least requested the best video card for my troubles. the tech rep i dealt with refused to help me which infuriated me into requesting a upgrade replacement.

    2.4ghz
    4gb ram
    Bluetooth
    Nvidia 8800

    You will love your M1730. I wish mine had the 8800's, but I don't play games anyway, so the 8700's will be fine.
