Hey guys, I desperately need your help. Got myself the Acer 4745G during last month's PC fair as well, but it went 'KONG' (blackout) last week out of a sudden Tried restarting it with and w/o the battery but it only managed to run Windows 1 out of 20 attempts. Was too caught up with work recently so hadn't got the time to send it to the service center (BTW, I heard the service center "Highpoint" is really a turn off).

The saddest part is I haven't installed ANYTHING into it yet (NOTHING!! no games, no programs, no whatever sh*t!), other than just transferring a few pictures from my phone. I only used it to watch 2 movies through DVD and that's it. When i switch the power on, the power supply LED will light up blue but the HDD light will NOT! I'm expecting that it must be the HDD which is having problems or something. Please do correct me if I'm wrong

Still considering whether to pay Highpoint a visit this weekend or not, but I really hope that the experts here in Lowyat would be able to solve the problem or give helpful advice!

Thank you guys first

yes most likely its the harddrive, seeing as booting up is also problematic. have you tried booting form different harddrive? that would be the best way to check whether your harddrive is the problem.

is there any harm if we regularly switch the graphic?

I had problem enabling the bluetooth too when I first got it. Press Fn F3 to enable it.

thx alot dude

i think changing graphics will help prolong the graphics card periodcause ur not using one indefinitely, just my theory...the bad thing is sometimes, alto you click the shortcut for graphic change, the com says it changes but actually it doesnt...so yaaaa i just keep it at Ati

Guise, I wanna ask.

I just bought this Acer Aspire 4745G yesterday.
I wonder why when i press Fn+F3 (to enable wireless or bluetooth),
the button seems to work otherway?
I press ON, device goes OFF.
I press OFF, device goes ON.

Or is it meant to be like that?

Yes

Hahah ooo thanks XiuKeong..!

hey guess, mind to share u all's Windows Performance score? Me using AS4740G-332G50MN , have a score of 5.0 .

I have a score of 5.1

i tke a look at acer.com.my..
it says that 4745 dvd can play blu-ray??is it tru??

n wat is d price now??
i used 4710z for d last 3yrs..

I got this problem on this acer one. it won't play games even after change the bios setting to set the VGA for direct GPU unit, since it cause me problem trying to play game like Splinter Cell Conviction, which when playing it, it actually using the Intel GMA GPU, not the ATi Discreet GC.

I want to queer this whether any of you guys have any GC related problem when playing certain intensive games??



And every time i want to play the aforemention game, it always fail that i don't have 2Gb memory and couldn't not play the games???

Will reinstalling the driver solve the issue?
