Guys... None of these would work... Because the cd key on our laptop is already activated in our current windows.. Windows cd key can only be activated once.. So even if u install ahem version but activating using our current product key it won't work... That's why backup recovery cd's exists nowadays...

He means the new Seagate Momentus XT.. It's almost as fast as SSD... A lot faster than 7200RPM HDD

No quite reasonable priced.. 500gb selling for around 450-500 only...

Nah, you can choose which one to on, which one to off...

When clicking FN +F2, you can your mouse the either sign to click it to turn on/off the function.

Hah.. Now my lappie using U2 Cooler now lol.. I helped my bro to buy for his XPS 1530 which have heating issues but it doesn't work for him as good as the X-lite which I bought last month... So he wanna substitute with me LOL...

To be honest, U2 isn't as amazing as I thought it would be.... Doesn't help much also...

for that price I think you can get a decent USB microphone lol

Ah, haven't been following the forum today..

Erm.. I am not very sure where is the HDD.. Can you show me where you put ur both fans? My highest temperature is always ACPI..

Seems like 2 fans is not enough also haha.. A big fan in the middle does better somehow..

wah... do you have like super cooler underneath? My laptop is already 40-50 on idle state....

Anyone tried undervolting A42Jv?

Ohh too bad ><

for sure he is using GPU to play the game dy.. If not how he started of 100fps for first 15 minutes ler..

For those concerned about the webcam being 0.3MP only.. I can assure you it's so much clearer than many 1.3MP or 2.0MP webcams..... I just tested it with a Dell Inspiron built-in webcam, and an external a4tech one on my desktop... A42Jv's webcam is the clearest and has the best colour...

How is the speaker nicer than A42Jv?

I find A42Jv having really nice speakers for laptops with the right EQ settings.... The only downside is too soft...

Custom is always the best =)..... but the loudest one should be 'ROCK'... But the treble to mids overpowered the bass in this setting....

But ROCK is the best setting if you're using laptop speakers because other settings would be too soft..

Hmm I don't think I can do anything with the SRS except choosing music/movie mode?

Yea like someone mentioned, it's all to ur own preference... Some ppl like bassy but some ppl like more treble...


lol, i don't like any of the default except rock lol... For me clarity is important, so the mids can't be too high or too low.... Most of the time my EQ would be something like a U-shape... If bass and treble too high would be like 'M' shape..

Laptop speakers are never meant to have much bass effect anyways because they dun have woofer.. Unless it's Toshiba Qosmio with Harman Kardon lol... Get a proper 2.1 external speakers if you want more Bass....

hmm, how to enable my ETD driver? It seems that it was disabled somehow, but I could still use 2 finger scroll n zoom functions.... But when i try to change the shortcuts n settings, it doesn't have any effect...

I suspect there's a clash of 2 drivers, because I installed another one from the Asus website previously...
Where can I check and reinstall the touchpad driver??

bro, do u know anything regarding my prob stated in my previous post?

Is it possible to have diff version of drivers clashing and exist at the same time?

ETDCtrl.exe is the program to customize the touchpad of A42jv... Hmmm.. It's ok la, I think I'll try to work out something..

Wouldn't try since it's just BETA version ><... Not much prob with the current one anyways
