duly noted. Any recommended solution?

Use your own Windows disc if want to format, then use the serial key on the laptop bottom to activate it.

You can download Windows 7 SP1 here --> http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-win...-digital-river/

hello
can any1 PM me the latest market price for N53SN-SX269V?
Thank You.

there is 1 question i would like to ask all sifu in here:

hope all sifu here can give some input on tis matters. Thank You.

Hey guys,

I own an Asus A42Jv, and realize that the bottom corner where the fan is at becomes extremely hot even when I raise the laptop from the table (Laptop fan but fan not working) when I play games.
Anyone else experience this? Any way I can improve the temperature?

Also, I heard if you upgrade your laptop's HDD to.. some hybrid thing.. it will improve the overall performance?
Can it be done for this laptop?

Bump! anyone?

hello, i'm a n53sn and A43sv user
now i'm facing a problem for my a43sv, i wonder any1 have encounter this
ok here is the condition, i was playing game with my a43sv on battery on my feet. then i wan to show off to my friend about the game, so i move my laptop. the laptop become shut down the screen.
now if i plug in power supply or battery, it will start up itself even i didnt switch on the start button. it start up itself, but there is nth on the screen. i could feel the fan is running but there is nothings on the screen. and there is only power light at the indicator there. other indicator didnt light up.

so, any1 have any idea regarding this?

Clean the dust, re-do thermal paste?
You referring to the Momentus XT? Can be done, since its the standard size 2.5'' HDD. Better save for SSD though

Not even the Asus logo show up?
Can you take out the battery/power supply, then press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Then plug in the power, try to start it up.
If still blank, try to connect to external monitor.

I'll try cleaning the dust first and see the temperature improve or not. Re-do thermal paste? Will it void my warranty?
Yup that's the one, Seagate Momentus XT. My laptop is less than a year old, still worth it to upgrade right?
What are the advantages? What is SSD?

Yeah, will void the warranty.
The Momentus XT has a 4GB SSD acted as cache, It will learn your usage pattern and try to speed up that process, which usually goes to booting up the notebook and launching your frequent applications. Other than that, its just a normal HDD.
SSD is Sold State Disk, the real upgrade from HDD, but cost much much more..

Hm, how much would the SSD cost? Can't seem to view Intel SSD page, it's all jumbled up, the words are overlapping.
I shall read up more about SSD when I have the chance, but for now, could you tell me the price and which is suitable for A42Jv? I game, download loads of movies/tv series and songs. Don't use Photoshop and such.

60GB SSD can cost RM400..
240GB can cost RM1.5K..

In your opinion, worth it to upgrade?
Is the improvement on performance so great compared to stock HD?

In about 1 and a half years time, I am planning to build my own desktop (first time). Should I still upgrade?
A bit over my budget for 60GB also

Worth to upgrade, if you are concern about responsiveness.
On budget, you can try find Intel X25-M 160GB OEM on the garage sales, some selling RM400.

Comparison:

The SSD is the slow one though in this video.

But if currently the notebook is enough for you, then better save it for the desktop

If I do upgrade to SSD, how will it affect the laptop temperature?

Won't do much on CPU/GPU temp, mostly the HDD area would be cooler..

Anyway, now is a bad time to buy SSD right?
Due to Thailand flood, so i'll do my price checking later.
Or has the prices drop already?
