Sifu, can you teach me??? I search online they using compressed air can, i dunno where can find it..

Using compressed air is one of the method to clear dust at fan grills. You also can disassemble your notebook & use little brush to clean the dust on the fan & grills. The latter is preferred because you need to reapply the thermal paste too.

Doesn't dissembling the notebook void the warranty??

My laptop speakers are annoying! Crackling sound when I play games. Ughhh..

I also have that problem, suddenly game slow (fps bit drop) and speaker come cracking sound = =
After restart, now Won't start, stuck at Windows Logo boot, with HDD LED always on = =
my hard disk: Western Digital

Annoying right? I've tried uninstalling it and let windows install new driver. But still the same, crackling sound all the way.. :s

If your warranty still not expired, technically yes, it can void the warranty. However, if there is no warranty sticker on the screws or/and chassis, they won't be able to tell that you already opened your notebook.

do i nid to use paid av or free one?

seems my current paid av expired tho =.=

very annoying, I play BF3 online it very disturbing when fps drop + cracking sound.
before I run mod, I check WD Hard disk, my HDD now in Caution mode:


So I just ignore = =... run/edit HDD APM to "EFh/255" by use quiteHDD, and I try solve bit, but still have.

Some one also say, disable "PowerPlay™". By logic, "PowerPlay™" completely useless because "Switchable Graphics" take place:


I didn't test yet off "PowerPlay™"... later I come with result = =

@Anime4000 click the "caution" > drag the 3 sector to 128 80h > apply

if ur lappy still under warranty.. change hdd.. i think get seagate better. nowadays WD seems prone more issue that other like toshiba, hitachi & samsung..

tick the powerplay.. enable it.. remove ur battery while playing bf3!

My laptop warranty just last 19/March expired and come disk health: caution = =

I play game sure remove battery (unlike 4830TG)
why need enable PowerPlay? since Switchable Graphics take over?
Just last night I test play BF3 with disable PowerPlay, it improve performance, less drop fps..

follow my instruction 1st.

I follow, except Enable PowerPlay = =

so now become green color good?

not green still yellow, =(
I had make topic: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2291417 you can see I run Extended Test, come error: Too many bad sector,
I have back up all file, now that bad sector can be fix by LLF/Zero-Fill format?

reformat the hdd. must clean! the last resort!

Full Format?
some advice me that run Write Zero and do partition and format

also can.

I download from WD and burn in CD, currently AHCI not detect, so I change IDE.
Now I running "Write Zero" then create partition as-usual. change back to AHCI, and install windows.


dose my step correct?
