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?

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???

I went searching around lowyat 2day and I heard that we can use a microphone/headset splitter. But I'm looking around for it and can't find any. Any asus user with a single mic/audio port has experience buying such splitter to enable us to plug in our standard mic/audio headset double port?

Anyone experienced bluetooth problem with ASUS A42JA?

I managed to pair it with a sony erricson mw600 BT headset i bought 2day with A2DP enabled. I was using the BT headset for 1-2hrs today for music when I jz bought it, then used it on some skype calls later in the day for a couple of minutes. Suddenly, it started acting up on skype conversation with frequent disconnection.

Well, I tried restarting my laptop and when it started, the pairing will not work anymore. Tried reinstalling my bluetooth headset many times and even resetting my headset but nth works. Even uninstalled and reinstall the drivers for BT270 on the laptop under device manager, nth works...

Then, I tried pairing my phone to my PC and again it doesn't work! However, b4 this incident, it works wonderfully for file transfer btw my phone and my laptop! My bluetooth headset is certainly not defective as it works fine when tried on my phone.

Now, i'm rly worried if it could b a bluetooth problem on my laptop. Its only 2 weeks old, any1 have any suggestion for any methods to verify this prob and if possible any fix for this? Haiz, I'm rly lost, bluetooth works OK for handphone b4 this and this problem showed up after using my BT headset and I can't get it 2 work anymore.... =(

TQ in advance for yr advices...
