I heard the software is total crap but if you just install the driver itself and use it they work wonderfully atleast I think that's what I read

that does suck man... I hope you find the time to get it all resolved. Since i had a few of these laptops so far between exchanges, repairs etc I now used a light foam lining from another piece of technology i had delivered and is a perfect size to place in between the laptop keyboard and screen when it is closed perhaps when you have yours fixed you can look for a similar insert to prevent abrasions... even though mine is closing fine over time its bound to rub on the screen in a similar manner to yours so I use the foam in between when I leave my laptop closed for awhile or travel with it.

Hey guys just bought these for $90 Amazon.com: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz PC3 204 Pin 15000 SODIMM Laptop Memory CMSX8GX3M2A1866C10: Computers & Accessories or here Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1866 Laptop Memory Model CMSX8GX3M2A1866C10 for my M18x to replace 16gb of Hyperx 1600mhz. I sold them for the cost of these corsair. i originally paid $100 per 8gb 1600mhz but I sold to family so my Mother and Brother could have their laptops upgraded from 4gb to 8gb each So I just recieved my Corsair 8gb and I'll be ordering another 8gb in a few days. I benched the Kingston and Corsair. Here are the results and for the time I ordered... these were $10 cheaper than I had paid for my Hyperx... but now I have a feeling the hyperX can be had at nearly $60 for 8gb of that model. maxxmem Kinston Hyperx 8gb dual channel 1600mhz 1.65v 9-9-9-27 cpu 4.2ghz (They are native 1333 chips Kingston overclocked to 1600mhz and requires 1.65v though some things show 1.5v for it... most of the time 1.55v was fine and 1.6v on a overclocked baseclock on 1600mhz and 1.5v seemed plenty for the 1333mhz profile) maxxmem Corsair Vengeance 8gb dual channel 1866mhz 1.50v 10-10-10-27 cpu 4.2ghz HyperX uses XMP 1 as 1333 7-7-7-20 and XMP2 as 1600mhz 9-9-9-27 Corsair uses plug and play @ 1866 10-10-10-27 Thanks to Thaiphoon burner they can be flashed to 9-9-9-27 on XMP1 @ 1866 and 2133 on XMP2 was shown as able to flash not sure on timings at that speed Thaiphoon Burner - Official Support Website -Thanks @GeoCake for showing me their video etc now I need $20 to buy Thaiphoon Burner I'll get further benches up once I do that these are the original hyperx i replaced, they are 1600mhz only using XMP profiles 8gb DC $70 for 2-4gb chips Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model KHX1600C9S3K2/8GX these are 1600mhz 8gb DC Hyperx that are plug and play 9-9-9-27 1.5v $70 for 2-4gb chips Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 HyperX Plug n Play Laptop Memory Model KHX1600C9S3P1K2/8G these are Hyperx 8gb DC at 1866mhz 1.5v plug and play but CL11 Latencies for 11-11-11-30 $80 for 2-4gb chips Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1866 HyperX Plug n Play Laptop Memory Model KHX1866C11S3P1K2/8G Corsair Vengeance 8gb DC 1600mhz 1.5v plug and play 9-9-9-24 latency $48 for 2-4gb chips Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9 Corsair Vengeance 16gb DC 1600mhz 1.5v plug and play 9-9-9-24 latency $150 for 2-8gb chips Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10
