I'm good enuf to repair my lappie myself yaar... the software side of it, of course.
Did the recovery disk and other recovery methods already. The discs work great.... but the prob returned again the next time i while copying disc image back.... using acronis (). Repeted errors.... i dont suppose it's got anything to do with the software/discs/OS.... it might b harddisk problem... but a sector scan gave no probs. Mayb I'm wrong... and acronis might b the trouble-maker... but didnt do a complete check.... too lazy & bc to troubleshoot..... right now... \
I'm presently ignoring it.

Mine is the DV9311tx.... C2Duo T5500 1.67GHz, 2GB RAM, 2 160GB harddisks, GeForce GO 7600 (no updated drivers available ), 17" HD ultrabrightview screen and not to forget mentioning.... Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Almost similar specs as yours... except for the hard disk, display and OS.
Since it is a design defect, they will fix it for you for free if you show that you are aware of it and you are prepared to fight with them a bit. Contact me if you ever reach such a situation and they ask you pay for it saying it's your fault.

Difference in specs:
C2D T7200 2GHz 4 MB L2 cache
120Gbx2
512 MB dedicated 7600 (i don't know what you have since you didn't mention - you can get drivers at http://laptopvideo2go.com/)
Standard Brightview
Vista Home Premium 32 bit - lucky guy with Ultimate

I have a High Definition DVDROM drive - the kind that reads those 15/30GB discs - which lost against Bluray, didn't think it would back then .

I've never seen an Ultra brightview but I've read that multimedia looks amazing. Personally I find that even standard brightview a strain on my eyes when I program/read documents - I usually reduce brightness a lot.
