had a problem with the netbook speaker. apparently only one of the 2 sides works, and no matter which way i adjusted the speaker balance from the control panel, only one the right side work while the left side is soundless.

since i bought this 2nd hand, can i get a warranty cover from HP? no warranty card given to me when i bought it though...

Stardust & pioneer, are you guys sure? Bcoz i checked with my cousin who also have the same unit from TM package, his unit got sound coming out from both sides of the speaker hole. If this model only intended to have 1 speaker, then why make 2 speaker hole? Could it be that some batch got manufacturing defect thus only 1 speaker functioning?

Anyway, i sent mine to the HP service centre in damansara today. Yeah, no need warranty card, they found the record and warranty is valid. Their technician will check it out and let me know in 3 days time. If that unit is only single speaker, they should've known it and inform on the spot no? Now wait for friday.

yeah... sure... now that you've mentioned it, i've never really looked at the manual... i'll check it out tonite. if indeed only 1 single speaker, then it'd be very, very weird that my cousin's unit have dual speakers.


did you upgraded it yourself? how do you open the cover? i took out the battery and saw an orange colored lever. pulled it and it snapped but the lower cover still stuck to the body... damn... i'd really loved to upgrade the ram, as win7 starter on this unit is really slow... by the way what brand, type and price of the ram?

i havent touch anything on the antivirus yet, but if norton antivirus comes free with it, might as well use it until it expire, rite?

now i need a guide on how to open up the base of this mini... planning to upgrade ram. anyone?

er.... how do we activate readyboost ah?

if it works, i'd rather spend RM35 on a 4GB card than RM200 for a 2gb RAM you see..

tomoro nite i'll buy an SD card and try ReadyBoost, see if got any difference or not.
surveyed in Lowyat today, some class 6 SDHC card forgot what brand liao. 4Gb only RM39. Jayacom also.

instead of 4GBTranscend Class 6 at RM39, i bought 4GB Kingston Class 4 at RM30. save abit lah...

110 got the software, HP Navigator, buit no GPS antena built in. Since it got bluetooth, then you can pair it with an external receiver lor... i think the external receiver should cost less than RM250 right? Havent had the chance to try it out since i don have the receiver.

plugged in the 4 GB card into the slot, dedicated the whole card for ReadyBoost use. The Windows Experience index number didnt change. Tried playing some fb games... faster response is noticeable, but very, very minimal difference... haih....

now wait awhile to kumpul money before buy 2GB RAM.

so now we can only upgrade to max 2GB DDR2 667MHz, am i correct?

i have seen ppl in HP service centre opening it.. seems like easy although i havent try it myself.

Pull the orange lever and the cover will open slightly.
then catch the opened side and just rip/pull to open the whole bottom plastic.

so now adding more RAM will only help if you open many things at one go, but not speed things up lah...

I dono the limit, but i plugged in my 4gb card, apart from "use the card" and set the amount as your choice, there's another option that says "dedicate this device". I chose dedicate, and they took up the whole 3.7gb available.

then after create backup, copy to another dvd lor.... make as much copy as you want...
