yup, my fren also envy the laptop finishing and the design. sort of like carbon fiber kind of design.

Haha.. especially when under light, it gives you the impression of a fine glossy expensive design. Its like some kind of snake skin for me (Asian King Cobra perhaps). My personal view la.

But one thing i dislike this kind of finishing, it it a fingerprint magnet. I spend a lot of time try to polish the laptop so it wont have any marks on it. *sigh*

where is the download link for the k40ab bios?too many page la...sum1 gv me..thx!!1

choose product>>series>>models.

then choose OS then click bios. u can flash bios using the windows bios flash utility. under bios utilities.

okay so this is my f81se with the useless evercool magic....no change in temperature in any way. infact i think that it increase the temperature in full load because it blocks the vent when the internal fan is at highest speed.


since f81se does not have cool palm rest feature so its kinda hot there...so i took out the express card slot.


and use the evercool magic like this.


guess what. my hard disk temperature drop from 47~48C to 40C!
and now my palm is cool ^^. its good that i found a way how to make it useful. if not i would hv pack it and keep it in the store...

glad!

in bios u using powerxpress or dgpu?

i use dgpu..and i can control the contrast while in the bios..
but when enter window i cant control ady and it show standart vga graphic apdater

wat windows u using?

it happen to me too. what i do is re-install without uninstalling any driver. then it work.

using vista service pack2...
nvm i settle the problem ady..thx!!
haha

haha. cool. mind sharing the problem and the solution? incase someone happens to have the same problem as urs. ^^

mass effect, cod5, gears of war...no big deal...hahahha

yuhuu... anyone tried NFS:Shift with this lappy??

If good then I wanna get this lappy tomorrow...

just bought my laptop at 1999. just open i and i check my graphic card. WHY IS IZZIT WRITTEN HD3200??? i tought it should be HD4570???

default bios setting is powerxpress mode. which will use the 3200 when not gaming and will use 4570 when gaming. if u want to use only hd4570. change in the bios setting to dgpu. k40ab comes with hd4570 and integrated ati 3200.

Added on September 23, 2009, 9:59 pmi suggest use dgpu and install catalyst control centre and enable ati power play. it will downclock the hd4570 depends on how u set it. instead of changing cards...hd4570 produce better picture quality.

dude.. this question has been answered for like ages ago.. in the first few pages of the thread already..
its most adviced to set it to dGPU.. cos power xpress switching thingy still a problem...

and for the bios flash... for all..

download the bios and extract it..

den boot into bios and start easy flash.. that should be the easiest..

i am a noob lar.. where to set the dGPU???
