hey all sifus, need your help here.

when i press (FN key + F5/F6) to increase and decrease the brightness, it doesn't have any effect.....why leh ??

does it have to do with the installation process? maybe error in the installation ? or caused by the settings ?

i restarted a few times also same.....

hey guys, the K40AB laptop has a sticker saying ' Red Flag Linux Inside '
what does it mean ? does it mean this model is more suitable to run linux ?

I have some problem with this laptop !

1st of all, when this lappy go into sleep mode, i unable to wake up the lappy , no matter i keep pressing the keyboard, clicking with the mouse, i can hear that the laptop is running, light indicator is on ... but after a long period, it still remain as black screen, so everytime i have to force shut down by pressing the power button n restart again, any idea to solve this issues ?

2nd is the most funny thing i ever meet, so one time i off my lappy n power adapter n went out for dinner. When i came home, i saw the light indicator on the power adapter is on, so i just switch on my lappy n use for half hour, suddenly it just goes off with weird sounds. So when i check back the power adapter, it is actually unplug from the socket, summore, the lappy battery is removed. Luckly my laptop is still able to use. Anyone has idea about this ?? My fren said mayb the power socket can store power ?? is it posible ??

hey guys, i am using Asus K40AB and currently running windows 7 Professional 32-bit RTM version.

my battery life is so short ...less than what i get when K40AB is running on vista 32-bit.

Is it installation problem ? However, i do not face any issues or problems so far. =='

Can other users of K40AB running windows 7 state your battery life ? just wanna know whether mine is faulty sad.gif

I got my HD4570 to be stable at 720MHz core 620MHz memory and got 3485 marks on 3DMark06 biggrin.gif But on day to day games, I just ramp up the memory clock to 615MHz and core to 705MHz smile.gif
AFAIK there are no other battery options, what you get is all it have
