I just use a tape to secure it there so it wont move about

Yes its a single core strand, but since the hole is bigger I suggest you fold it into two, just put near the mouth and not all the way through, when it got good connection put a tape on the wire so it wont move about
Thnak you for the game detail/resolution test, I'll update the first post smile.gif

erm.. did u turn on the computer when as soon as u install the wires? as in to try out the fan speed? hmm.. putting near the mouth meaning.. it only touches the mouth and not securely connection?

what tape and where did u apply?

Yes pretty much like so. Its just a normal translucent cello tape you found anywhere. Just use it near the USB port to make sure the wire dont move anywhere when you use it

If there is no sound, make sure the defaut device and default communication device is the same in playback device in sound properties in Windows, it only applied if you use SRS. If not I dont know

Im only using VIA.. hmm.. thats weird.. i only have problem with GRID.. not other games.

*
bro.. IMO.. u shud watch ur words.. ur saying as if the lappy sucks till bad.. shakehead.gif

firstly.. the temp workers are just sales person.. they dont cover ur warranty.. ur warranty is under asus.. u should know that.. since u said u have worked before..

pc fair.. know the meaning fair.. so it means shops or companies participate in a fair.. pc fair doesnt come with its own shops...

and well.. a fair.. u always have something to attract the buyers.. so.. free gifts.. promotions are made..

and keep in mind.. its a FAIR.. alot ppl will come and visit.. u dont see ppl going to lowyat shop everyday right.. eventually.. sales go up.. and anyhow.. the more buyers.. the more profit..

so.. the purpose of pc fair.. explained.. and please dont condemn the lappy rosak what so ever.. it could be ur own fault.. or ur not in luck by getting a faulty set..

just head up and change a new set.. unhappy.. sell it off.. get something u'd prefer..

went to pc fair ystdy.. and well.. been eyeing on 3 lappies at the same price range with asus k40ab..

first is lenovo G450. tried it.. kinda sucky to me i'd say.. heat at the palm rest felt.. asus is way way way better at this.. and got a asus laptop booklet.. its asus insulator technology which made the palm rest cool. bravo!

acer aspire 4540.. HD4300.. 256mb.. sucky i guess.. score on WEI oni 3.4.. acer is out as soon as i saw that.. as for lenovo.. design.. quality wise.. i think asus stilll wins.. and considering gaming capability.. i believe asus wins alot.. G210M just doesnt seem convincing..

on overall.. thumbs up to asus k40ab.. i actually tot of changing to lenovo.. but the hot palm rest area.. change my mind. haha..

and btw.. theres a shop at hall 3 sellin 2.2Ghz turion model of k40ab.. its rm2099..


Added on December 7, 2009, 2:00 aminstalled the latest driver from asus website..

not working too well.. switching process having some bit problem still.. my comp hang when switching back to power gpu.. so.. reverted back to older one..

Oh my god. Did'nt saw the Turion models. Only manage to get the QL-65 model.

Try clean uninstall the driver. First I got some problems (artifacts, screen blank), after re installation its working properly for now.
Anyway i installed the new driver for a friend of mine who just got a K40AB, seems to working without problem.
*
yes.. its on the 3rd exhibiton hall.. the spec sticker is darn cool.. black design..

hmm.. i did everything.. clean uninstall.. screen blank wasnt a problem.. my problem was switching from power saving back to high performance. and tats where artifacts appeared on top and the screen no working anymore..

it kinda messed up everything.. im using k50ab btw.. could it be the website's file corrupt?

For those who thinks that the competing T6600 Core 2 Duo are superior in all ways compared to our QL-64,QL-65 & Turions... Here is a point to consider...

The competing T6600 doesn't comes with Hardware Virtualization whereas ours does.

What function it does ?  Windows XP mode for Windows 7 Pro & Ultimate.

yup.. agreed.. and i believe AMD is meant for gaming.. intel.. seems like for safe- users to me.

i had some kinda rough time with that too..

when it didnt work.. i had it rolled back.. but still didnt work.. uninstalled.. but windows automatically install back again.. duh..

and ended up deleting the file and installing back the older driver in some rather way...

but urs is far worst experience..

I did a bad move while eating an yoghurt...

Thx

Can we use other facial recognition software for the laptop other than Asus own Smart Logon?

Coz its sucks to show off in front of my friend, adjusting the good handsome face in front of the camera & not being recognised for login
because the lighting was not right. Its sucks more when my friend did the ROFL stuff.

I am talking about Lenovo Veriface or other similar webcam based software.
*
lenovo veriface should work i guess.. but it only supports 32-bit version of windows.. my bro's hp has it.. and toshiba has it.. but mine couldnt be installed.. 64-bit os.. thats why.. u can always try thou. veriface is alot much more faster..
