well, now take to service center ald, hope it will be repaired in 3 day by Thursday .... Otherwise i wont have laptop to be use at UK ..... It is after put cpu,the service center guy say it might be the motherboard spoiled.

as for the laptop recommendation, go for k or n series, it will be good enough for gaming, about 3k range i presume, if ean better beast spec go for g series

u flashed 209 flashed wrong mayby.. thats the only way to kaput motherboard.
if under warranty still ok

if u got 4k options are
-Nseries top range (want looks sound and gaming, hate weight to carry around)
-G series 15'inch lower range (want looks, gaming, cool factor, and dun mind weight, don't mind crappy sound [need to use headphones for better sound])

if 3.5k options are top-mid class Nseries
- N series/ A series, i doubt u get a top line gpu too these days.

if 2k then A series is the way to go.

stay away from ATI gpu's even if they are better for gaming and cheaper,
they are hot for laptops and the driver updates suck.

also if u are gonna go overseas to study, itz sometimes good to peak at their market

lolz, but after flash the bios, it still can boot, but only once la, coz i see nth is wrong then i open up for upgrade ald lolz

now, the service center say maybe is motherboard problem... 680 for the board only.....another 100 for the service charge

anyone uses keyboard with backlit with their N53?im wondering if i can buy it somewhere.

hence why u shud research be4 buy..
ssd should work
wifi card got drivers installed properly?

using the ssd now. at uk now xD
i have no idea with the wifi card. the service center ppl tell me it is not compatible. but i believe that when i check online it is compatible. same goes to the processor.
i dunno y my internet explorer always have error of not responding. is it because i keep my internet explorer on for too long? coz i open a few tab and leave them there

who still uses IE 9/10/11/12
chrome
FF

only thing that crashes is ID/PS and AI.
chrome never crash on me, FF not responding then ok ady.
IE never used since win xp

lolz, i has been using IE for long long long time. never try the others xD

Guys, my n53 fan started making unbearable noise of late. Anyone has any experience on how to deal with this? It's over warranty period ady by the way.

clean and oil it?
or find replacement fan

meglev fans is recommended by me if u manage to find them (and are able to be used in the n53sn)

I want to do a fresh install on my notebook but I am wondering if I should do a factory reset or if I can do a full reinstall with a windows 7 dvd?

How do you do a "factory reset" on windows 7?

You just need to press F9 or F11 (not sure anymore) and there you can choose to restore your notebook to factory settings. But the thing is that I dont need all that crap that is installed with the factory settings.

download a copy of win7 HPremium, and burn it onto a disk (there is a tool call windows 7 dvd burner)
then boot up into ur dvd (boot>esc>boot order dvd 1st hhd 2nd) then install following the steps.
then use the sticker under ur comp as a product key.
later when all is done, just go in the system page in ur comp and activate through sms/phone
itz a 1300 number so ur bill is gonna skyrocket.

F9, is the ASUS OEM version, bringing back to the mint condition u 1st got the laptop from shop.
the only flaws is that the bloatwares actually do more harm that fresh installing through f9 again.

fac reset through the copy of win 7 Hp means itz totally clean n u choose what u want.
but u nid download all the drivers later.
-this is the way to go if u want to play games and work on a better system.

BUT with all advices i give, factory reset is pointless if
-u want to degrade ur HHD faster.
-you dont maintain and sort ur comp properly.
