i just got a booklet of Asus products today...
and there's a warranty information... Asus claim to provide 0 bright dot and 4 dark dots...if found.. completely new LCD panel replacement within 30 days of purchase...

your case... 3 biji dark dots only... you have to try make the 4th dot appear?
tongue.gif

but i feel weird..how can asus guarantee 4 dark dots? and not 1 dot? if i see 1 dead pixel, i'd be damn unsatisfied dee oso...

I think I have 3 dead pixels on my A42JV LCD screen. Not very noticeable but wonder if I should go back and exchange for a new laptop since I only bought it less than a week ago.

By the way, here's a page you can use to test if your screen has any funny pixels. When I select White fullscreen, I can see 3 dots scattered around the center of my screen which I cannot wipe away.

Just exchanged my A42JV with 3 dead pixels for a new one. smile.gif So far after careful checking, this one seems to only have 1 sub-pixel error. I can't see it if I face it directly, only from the sides, so I guess I'll live with it. tongue.gif

Now to re-install all my games and applications.

Yes, it's a typical LCD screen. Best viewing angle is facing the screen directly.

running those apps alone should not cause lag ler....

highest suspect is VLC...but again...i don't think should cause lagginess....
any programs running in the background?

QUOTE(markypcs @ Jul 29 2010, 11:48 PM)
i don't know why. but my laptop is suddenly quite laggy nowadays.
when i'm running mozilla + windows messenger + vlc player (not playing HD videos)

what could be causing the laginess?
ps : i was on fb and lowyat in mozilla
