TimelineX 3820TG & 4820TG series notebooks have several specifications. Latest batch of TimelineX 3820TG & 4820TG have latest processor, for example Intel Core i5-460M. The specifications below doesn't mean all of the features will be available. For example, not all notebooks in the series have WWAN card. TimelineX is the best ultraportable computer in it class. In fact, TimelineX excel in both performance & battery life. For me, TimelineX notebook is pure pornography.

what happened to d old thread?
anyway, anyone played Skyrim using dis lappy?
can survive or not?

not sure. skyrim play liau headache. so i sticked v old games. u asked kizwan. i think he sure playing it with his 5870!



This post has been edited by ngkhanmein: Nov 23 2011, 03:24 PM

definitely can...
BTW..I already kill two dragon..

yay!!
tested edy with my lappy...
can stretch to high setting for Skyrim..nice graphics just a lil lage when open world..huhu

Do these startup programs influence the pc?
I scare one of these might prevent the auto-switching of GPU..

Intel display setting,
Intel Screen Resolution Utility Program,
Catalyst Control Centre Launcher?

Shouldn't affect..

If not mistaken, you need AMD External Events Utility for the switching..

This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Nov 24 2011, 11:25 PM

AMD External Events Utility make it stopped at services.msc & set manual ok liau. disable CCC at msconfig as well.

Don't set it manual. Switchable GPU need it.

paiseh if din use switchable, it can disable. since mine is dedicated like urs mr. lee

This is TimelineX 3820TG/4820TG thread, not Dell. TimelineX 3820TG/4820TG have switchable graphic. Please keep on-topic.

Here's the startup list from tunes up, any recommended programs to disable that doesn't affect my switchable functions?

Thanks people~


Oppssssss... long time no come lowyat, here's it! Paiseh!!


This post has been edited by hottemper: Nov 25 2011, 10:59 AM

Your startup list OK (since it's empty)

kizwan: suddenly so serious. i tension leh!

hottemper: where is ur startup list?

@hottemper, the CCC and the Intel should be can disable safely..

can del itunes helper & apple push.

Really need Demon Tool? that thing is sloooooowww.....

You can unzip ISO instead of using Demon Tool nowadays...

use winrar but some file like cue & bin still need daemon or alcohol & etc...

Thanks people~


@Cow, I'm not sure, but I always use Daemon.. haha~

heya, i use winrar for checkin contents of ISO files
imdisk to mount ISO to virtual drive, simple & lightweight ^^

so far common practice for me, i'll disable AMD external event when i wanna plug in to power so it doesn't auto switch to discrete card.
anyone got better solution?

so far i just finish dead space 2 & dragon age 2 on my 3820tg
haven't got time to install skyrim yet.

still tryin to set aside funding to get 120gb ssd haha

don't disable AMD external event if u're switchable GPU. if my case different cos come with dedicated GPU!

anyone tried Batman AC using dis lappy?
how was it?

hye all

i want to ask, before this my webcam works fine, now when i want to video call from skype, it got error no video capture device detected. I try to fix by finding it in device manager, but no camera found. i use windows add hardware, also not found.

can give me ways to fix it?

anyone got issue using 11.11 on switching?

---

Added on December 11, 2011, 2:24 pmtested 11.11 on skyrim...
smoking hawt!!!
really gain a few more fps..no more lag or stutter..
even run my 5650 on stock...
previously need to oc up to 700/1000 to get firm fps...

This post has been edited by tech_frix: Dec 11 2011, 02:24 PM

Try uninstall everything under 'Universal Serial Bus controllers' in device manager and scan back.
Can you run Hardware Vendor Detector from my sig? See if it still can detect your webcam manufacturer..

any idea guys? got alot of unneccesary lines. sigh.

i havent updated the driver yet because using Acer need to download their driver which i have no idea where

somebody care to help? maybe can solve the problem above. just 3 days back use no problem suddenly this problem arise. apa ni

The Acer driver can get from here
http://global-download.acer.com/Step5.aspx...Category=DRIVER

update bios

do tell me how sifu. thanks

paiseh reply late.. http://www.acer.com.my/ac/en/MY/content/drivers

dl v1.25 & read the instruction. u need to use ur adapter + battery insert.

ur model is 4820TG W7HP x64? pick ur lappy model. follow the instructions step by step. u can try http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/48099...od-request.html

u can ask kizwan.

whats d latest 6560m driver?

Official should be 11.12
Beta: 12.1 Preview or 8.94 Dec 22..

hey guys, my 4820tg touchpad suddenly stopped working. but here's the funny thing:

-i uninstalled the synaptics driver and reboot
-on reboot, windows detects the touchpad and begins installing the synaptics driver. at this point, the touchpad works.
-upon completion of the driver installation, i'm requested to restart.
-after restart, the touchpad stops working again.

i even went to the extreme of reinstalling windows 7 (sort of a spring cleaning), but the same thing happens (even on a clean install!). any idea what's happening?

thanks!

1st question...
y did u uninstall d touchpad driver??????

the touchpad stopped working, so i thought i'd reinstall the driver.

I use 4820tg, but can I follow the tweak guide?

might be h/w issue if still under warranty u better call them 2 check 1st b4 u format or else u will

u can tried the http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers stable version or http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1525711/+20

Is there any chance 4820tg can unlock BIOS? InsydeH20?

i think can.. u should ask kizwan.. he specialise on modded bios.

I wonder if this 'Setfsb' software gonna work on 4820tg?

yes

Can you teach me how to use it?

Tried using other version driver ?
What kind of not working, cannot move the cursor at all or no gestures?
After you uninstall the driver and just using the default driver from Windows, does it stop working as well ?

This will depends which PLL chip you got.
Run the SetFSB, change the PLL to Asus G73JH, then try Get FSB, see if it returns correct number (no negative),

This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Jan 6 2012, 08:41 AM

i tried using the driver suggested by ngkhanmein, but to no avail. the problem is that the whole touchpad is not working - the cursor does not move and the buttons do not respond.

after uninstalling the synaptics driver, upon reboot, Windows will install the default driver. at this point, the touchpad works (cursor and buttons). but Windows will require a restart to complete the driver installation. so after restarting, the touchpad stops working all over again.

Ater restart, when the touchpad stops working.
Can you go to device manager and check the touchpad name, was it Synaptics or something compatible touchpad ?

Did you plug in mouse when the touchpad stops working? There is option to disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in.

Have you tried pressing Fn + F7 when the touchpad stop working ?

ok, looks like i accidentally pressed fn+f7....my gawd, i feel so stupid now thanks lee_what2004!!

dun tell me u accidentally disable the touchpad.. same story like my boss..

Okay, do you recommend me to use this software? Or its risky?

This post has been edited by xhakox: Jan 6 2012, 10:41 AM

Pretty much if it doesn't work, the computer will hang and you just need to force restart. Then done.

Can overclock the cpu through modded bios or not?

No.

Ohh can only use setfsb lah? If I use that, then I shutdown my laptop. Will the cpu turns to its original clock?

Then I shouldn't overclock it. Just overclock the gpu would do it.

Yes.

i dun dare play OC on cpu cos i felt my temp not stable.. i play OC on GPU until BSOD 1 times only & another is i play ati driver. so total BSOD = twice

wait my warranty end, add new TP only i play it!

I dislike OC using software. I always wanted to try OC through BIOS. But need to mod it first. Then I can OC

You mod it also cannot OC from BIOS..

I thought can o? I read on notebookreviews somewhere. Because I want perma OC.

The BIOS mod on 4820TG mainly is to unlock the Intel HD option and itself is not really stable..

Unless you referring to overclock the GPU..

Yeah, I want to OC the gpu

Then you were referring to this one?
http://acer.it168.com/thread-1315933-1-1.html

That is for pheonix bios right? Mine InsydeH20. So...

So..
no more idea, I'm not a bios modder

Why not just stick with software overclocking ?

Ohh haha. Will stick on software then!

even N5110 bios is modded at notebookreview, i think there is no bios can't be modded since it create by human. i'm noob in computer stuff so dunno..
kizwan is missing.. he is pro mod bios

bro...can I know which vga driver i need to install first if i want to update my ccc? only need to install vga driver right? i'm hd6550m gc

i bet @cow goin his 3820tg but currently he active on android rom stuff with his galaxy W!
our processor & gpu r damn weak..

hi need help juzz only bought a acer 3820tg but there is a warranty void seal at the bottom of the laptop so i am unable to open the laptop 2 change ram, hdd and network card
and any suggestion on what should i do to a new 3820tg ?

and the windows 7 home premium is 64bit or 32bit forget 2 ask the seller that day and can i use any other windows 7 home premium 64bit to install windows into it?

This post has been edited by stupiddog: Feb 8 2012, 10:21 AM

u can change ram, hdd & network card it won't void warranty but if ur lappy collapsed, acer will blame those 'thang' so for precaution just change back ori stuff b4 u claimed. if ur lappy r safe & fine, just leave it. i think should be win 7 hp x64.. u can install other OS but if not retail i suggest u stick with the ori!

u bought 2nd hand? u can just have a clean install.. go control panel > system > (check for confirmation regarding ur OS version)

no bought new 1, there is no windows 7 cd included, so i can tear the 2 warranty void seal off and unscrew the bottom?

is there anything important 2 install ?

don't tear.. y u need tear? just unscrew it.. the most important stuff 2 install is the windows update (install all) then don't unplug it & wait it restart..

the sticker is on the screw

then don't tear the sticker cos it will void the warranty..

then how the screw is underneath the sticker

http://www.google.com.my/#q=disassemble+ac...iw=1440&bih=764

nono i know how to do it juzz that the there is 2 sticker that says warranty void on the 2 screws

weird! mine dell no need take off the sticker.. if really need get rid the sticker to unbutton ur lappy, u better don't risk it.

damn sad

maybe just poke thru the sticker? just a suggestion, best to call acer customer service ba.

ok will call acer

poke sticker still void the warranty. best solution is call acer.. this is y i don't prefer acer!

contacted them already
they say its ok 2 remove sticker to change hdd and ram

won't void warranty?? if like that, what r u waiting?

waiting for cheap ssd 2 surface on garage sales
only thing acer no windows 7 cd haizz i not pro in these area

use acer backup manager.. be prepare 4~5 dvd disc..

ok, thanks

Bought mine last year and somehow today i damaged the small keyboard key(the clip inside broken), the one that i circle below...
