Not yet tested because I was about 90% on desktop when at home.

I'll do some test later on.

Use BatteryEater for it?

If it gets more then 3 hours on load, I'm hooked!

a42jv can last how long with battery eater?

With battery care, power4gear battery saving, can only last 3-4 hour with light web browsing

If YouTube or watch movie, around 1 and half hours only lol

Haha yea what I meant was non stop YouTube.. If a few videos and web browsing definitely can 2 hours+ lar..

I'm a new asus a42ja user. I love the overall performance of the laptop but one thing bothers me alot. The audio/mic jack comes with a single unit and I certainly knot fit all my headsets with mic that i've been using on my PC all the time. Is there any adapter that I can purchase to convert it into double port? And where can I find it? any shop in lowyat?

if u mean the 3.5mm splitter that enables you to have 2 3.5mm ports, that thing won't work.. The only choice is to use a USB headset...

Oh mannn, this is a big prob for me as i rly require a dedicated mic port and a dedicated audio port since i tend to change between headset models frequently. Without the 2 3.5mm, everything's not gonna b possible. I heard of the 3.5mm splitter with '3 bands' as compared to '2 bands' will worked but no luck in finding it so far. The fella who sold me the laptop told me 2 get a headset with microphone using one single 3.5mm port as the Asus port works for both mic/audio too. Having said that, I am rly looking for alternatives atm....is there any other way???

^AlexLai said can use SteelSeries mobile adapter...

my a42jv always crash when i in flying spaghetti monster hon ... if i recovery the window , it will be fix by this solution ??? or mayb tat is flying spaghetti monster program problem ???

Have you updated to latest Nvidia drivers? Or trying running the game with both Intel and Gt335M respectively to see whether both also crashes...

u can try those earphones for phones... they come with a microphone...

I tried the iPhone headset... Doesn't work...

lol, so left USB headset or external/ExpressCard soundcard???

yea, and the USB to headphone/microphone converter ><

Sad right.. Good thing I have a external USB Creative Xmod soundcard lol.. SQ much better than stock soundcard... Not that I use much of the microphone jack anyways..

a fren bought a u41jf..latest driver doesnt fit for this hybrid gfx..it runs 425m..what is the driver version that suit with it..?

Perhaps 258.96 ?

Hey guys, the A42Ja has a microphone right? But i don't know where is it. So i talk also can't really hear my voice, unless i shout
