haha.. no reset button a???? lolx... or even if send to service center they change the whole board cz cant reset??

how to reset le if motherboard already kaput but i think it's possible...

cannot go SC change le cause flashing BIOS actually voids warranty

omg, lucky i no flash.. well sure ke?then y they post on the drivers list to update?.. and what happen if asus update update the bios... then dielor..
i think sc can repair.. they direct run the hardware by plugging in something. cuz they check my hardware etc when i was @ the sc.

noted... update bios will void warranty...

wadafak!!!!!!!! then why the hell they put up as update????

when i was flashing my BIOS, they said "warning, changing BIOS may void warranty"

BIOS are always updated, sometimes it works well, sometimes....well....spoils the mobo.
If you look at those Overclockers mobo from Asus, when the BIOS fail, they can just insert a thumbdrive (with BIOS inside) and then everything is install back to normal.
Unfortunately i dun think our mobo is those high end type

It's possible SC will help to fix.....but i doubt they will replace it

hey guyss!!!!!! new n53sv user here!!!!!!!!
PS: give up for n55sf B))

WHY???? cant wait already

omg......zzz.....zz.. i feel like grabbing the n43sl adi now..

hi everyone,
new Asus N43SL owner here

there are few questions that would like to clarify
1) the noise of optical drive when starting the lappy is quite noisy... before the ASUS logo shows in the screen... anyone have this situation?

2) saw that some says that by updating BIOS of N43SL, it can last up to 8 hours battery, is it true? can specify which BIOS version is that??

3) another silly question, how to check my boot time? any program to detect it?

4) my lappy seem a bit slow and around 90 processes running, how to make it faster/reduce number of processes running?

regards

2) The latest bios.
3) To check boot time http://www.planetsoft.org/utils/BootTimer.exe
4) To reduce processes, open msconfig, on startup tab, disable stuff you don't need.
and do defrag..

1) 100% normal, itz checking the disk, sc say 2 me. itunes, wmplayer all same normal
2)users say, soo itz shud be ok.
3)boottimer
4) clean bloaties, and use cccleaner to clean registry, msconfig to reduce startup programs etc

1)it's normal cause sometimes it enable and disable the optical drive. When it does that it make sound.

2) Can download latest BIOS at Asus web. Just search for your laptop model and click download

3) Download BootTimer.

4) Follow the guide on the 1st page.

thanks everyone,

1) check on the bootup program, around 74 seconds, is it normal??
with minimum startup programs, after ccleaner, defrag...

2) check on Asus website, there are 5 BIOS version there, which is the correct one? and heard that updating BIOS might cause lappy to bye-bye. wanna confirm before doing so

1) 74 sec is..........really slow . If you see my BootTimer on the 1st page it says 41secs. To be more accurate, when the window pops out, quickly press RUN cause the time is still running

2) Better ask someone who owns a N43SL cause simply updating BIOS is really risky....and sometimes rewarding
