for those using 401ax, better not downgrade to lower bios. i messed up mine just now. everything was fine until i tried to restart the laptop, and it wont turn on again. the lights was on and the fan and processor was also on. but the bios screen never loaded up. i wait for hours but still nothing. so stress right now. got to bring to hp service center i think.

QUOTE(Zibel @ May 27 2009, 01:48 AM) That website sometimes does that around this time of night. Just a thought if the file name 30FB.BIN does not work, you could try JBL20.BIN or JBL20HW.BIN or JBL20.FD or JBL20HW.FD bro!!! thank you so much! it works charmly! now i dont have to waste 2 days for sending and picking up my lappy in HP service center! ure the champion dude! just tell me the time and place, i will belanja you teh tarik! |

QUOTE(Zibel @ May 27 2009, 02:33 AM) Congrats, glad to hear you were successful.  Just in case someone else has a bad flash with 401AX, was it 30FB.BIN ? i am not sure which one is correct cozi put a lot inside there but i think it is not 30FB.BIN coz it doesnt work when i put it alone. when it works, i put : 30FB.BIN 30FBF45.BIN 30FBF45.FD JBL20HW.BIN JBL20.BIN getting tired to put and try them one by one but one of them is definitely the correct one.. huhu.. finally can sleep stressless tonight. haha |

QUOTE(tictac @ Jun 3 2009, 06:13 PM) i use k10stat tool to play with my VCore and multiplier  Finish tuning my max clock Vcore. i downvolt it to 1.01V... now full load temp down to 94C from 100C++ (Stock setting) other than this advance method, i just use balance power plan in vista. i also changed the max prcessor state to 80% only. i noticed the fps when playing games is reduced a bit but there are no more noticable lagging as the lappy doesnt reach up to 100C. i feel very comfortable using balance power plan instead of high perormance. |

QUOTE(tictac @ Jun 3 2009, 08:21 PM) yea i know... but i try to maximize what i got. Coz i buy the laptop default speed is 2.2GHz. So tweak it to run at 2.2GHz BUT with a lower voltage so that i get lower temperature and same performance. Here is my tweak 2.2GHz 1.01V 1.1GHz 0.80V 550MHz 0.75V  meaning that the performance will not be affected?wah.. definitely will try soon.. thanx. |

QUOTE(mpnl @ Jun 9 2009, 11:07 AM) Hi guys, just joined here. I'm quite confused. The specs on the first page for CQ40-401AX states that the HD3450 has 512MB dedicated memory. But every brochure I get, always put 256MB. Even one of the seller shows me the brochure from HP. The brochure states 256MB dedicated mem for HD3450. Which one is true, 256 or 512MB? Another thing, what is the current price for CQ40-401AX? CQ40 401AX using a bit different chipset from the previous model and the GC is HD3450 512mb. but trust me, the difference is unnoticable. the current price for this model is RM 2049. |
