I need abit help from u80v users here, I put my win7 into hibernation, then I woke up the system, everything seems fine, but then I put the system to Sleep mode, and when I turn it back on, my u80v LCD failed to light up (i have tried pressing FN+F7 toggling the LCD but not working), the system is working fine as I still can see my win7 desktop under bright fluorescent light, the LCD backlit just won't light up, then I turn my system OFF, and turn ON few minutes later, LCD backlit is working FINE again. Edited: LogOFF user n LogIN back also the LCD backlit ll work again.

I m wondering whether it's a hardware issue in win7 (not such issue in Vista after hibernation>wakeup>sleep>wakeup.

I hope u80v users here can test test your win7 under such situation, meaning after waking up from hibernation> then Standby system > then On it back to see if the LCD backlit is working or not?

thanks in advance!

Thanks for trying. Mine preloaded with vista then lately clean install win7 de. When u said Both hibernate n sleep are ok r u saying after waking up from hibernation then went into sleep mode then wakeup once more the LCD backlit still working?

Paging OrangeGurl, r u there? pls try urs

I received my win7 upgrade package weeks ago, got 1 win7 32-bit installer (Not 64-bit, as 32bit vista can only upgrade to 32bit win7) plus 1 asus driver dvd plus 1 win7 product key sticker. But I must say I very satisfied with the way asus compiled the installer n drivers in both dvds provided Because I can choose to

1) do a Full Clean Installation for win7 instead of an upgrade from vista.

2) The Clean Installation did not *delete* any of my Data (windows directory+program files directory+others) in my VistaOS partition, all the Data were copied to new folder in my C: drive (But that time My C: drive still having 80% free space ). Anyway, prior to that I already backup all my files.

3) The Asus DVD driver installer very user friendly, just tick/untick in the list of drivers + asus utilities in the installer Menu then Press a button everything ll be installed automatically without user intervention. Yea NO need to find each drivers 1 by 1 manually from the disk.

Anyway, I m using 4GB ram too, I dun mind only 3GB usable in 32-bit as I never use more than 2GB of ram

U sure u dun wan a desktop PC for ur hardcore jobs?

i think he meant the Water Ironizer featured in the film IRON MAN nia...

This guy faced similar heat issue with SSD and he managed to cool down the temp by cleaning the dust, yea seems unrelated directly to the SSD, but it worked. ( In theory SSD should be much cooler than a spinning Hdd.)

Details here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-repli...fm/1377845.html

U may know more about ur new ssd using this programhttp://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/index-e.html, then from there can see the Health Status of ur Intel SSD, how many percent of lifespan of is still Good under ID no. E9 value with attribute name: Media Wearout Indicator, and of course the Temp of SSD etc..

hope u find it useful.
