Hmm never tried that before.
Anyway you can(or should) do a full reinstall with Windows 7 DVD, then install back the drivers that are necessary.

Pressing the F9 during boot or at the desktop?

Mind to explain more about the "degrade of HDD"? I often defragment my HD drive, will it degrade?

when reformatting, u are basically wiping the hhd all with 0000, then loading 00101011 back on it.
which will stress the disk because
-each disk has limited read/write times before errors occur
-constant running prolonged r/w through reformatting and reinstalling and installation of programs and music data etc will have an impact or ur drive mechanics (r/w head, and spin motor) as well as reducing the number or r/w avaliable

I always say when ur seriously broke something then only reformat. (like my very nice case where i got a boot up with a white background with ERROR in red and jams, yeah i cannot do any shit that time, just go asus scentre .)

defragging should be fine but not too ofthen. (once ever 1-2 weeks is fine) i havent done mine since months ago, itz still fine.
just keep stuff sorted, registry not clutted cache etc and itz should be fine.

hhd degrade through r/w, r/w head bumping into disks (bad sectors) and motor failure is the main problem with hhd.


f9 during boot.

Wow learned something here. Thanks. Always thought that only SSD will "degrade" if defragment.

But just to be clear, by hhd you actually means hdd, hard disc drive right?

So I can just download Windows 7, burn it on a dvd and use that to completely wipe my hard drive and do a fresh install?

I can download the drivers here I suppose?

Don't worry about reformating, it won't do more damage compared to just normal use.

Thanks for the quick replies!

My n55sf backlight gone. Might ask them to also change the bios batt,and also check the faulty usb 2.0 port. And maybe ask them to clean the fan also

im more worried about the fan and usb 2.0...and the backlight.
bios battery can last for some time 1.
my hp laptop 9 -10 yrs ago still have a working bios battery but a stinked up fan

but bios batt early death can happen also, this is definitely my first time experiencing something like this though, countless number of mobos before, and I've not seen this haha

OK guys im having trouble on burning CD/DVD im sure my dvd drive working fine. the problem is i tried to burn simple data files on cd. I have tried using nero12, roxio and the worst i tried windows explorer burning but still once completed burning. When i check back by inserting the CD/DVD it shows empty at times the light on the dvd drive keeps on blinking. Any solution in this?

i tried burning on my friends laptop just using windows explorer. It works perfectly fine.

Im using windows 8.1 pro 64bit.

hye guy, is there anything we could do after failed update bios? one of my customer try to update his laptop BIOS and in the middle of update the laptop shut down it self, and now it wont boot at all, after power on, no display, no POST...is this mean the motherboard is brick? btw it Asus A43SJ

change mobo or go service centre ask for help.
dun think itz possible unless the mobo have dual bios as a backup

Wanna ask, where can I get replacement for N53S power adapter? Need some recommended seller or get from Asus directly?
