QUOTE(xyz_cityhunter @ Oct 28 2013, 02:52 PM) Planning to upgrade the Atheros card with an Intel card... Either 7260 or 6205... Will post the results after i finish bargaining with the eBay seller from China... While the antenna does have effect on the signal strength but will have to look at the wifi card as well. And if your laptop wifi not running at Wireless N protocol which support the multi T:R stream then 1 antenna is enough for a/b/g, the number of stream does limited by the numbers of antenna but only applies on N (2 needed) and AC (3 needed) protocol, go have a read on MIMO Antenna on how things work. i don't quite understand.. mind explain me more? I'm still not getting a full bar even placed just beside my router.. how do you change the wifi card? is it replaceable by dyi?

The not getting full bar is pretty much due to either the antenna or the cheap wifi card, in which I will need to change either one with better one then only i can say which is the main cause for getting weak wifi signal, since the antenna will take quite some effort so i opt for the wifi card first. And yes you can DYI changing the wifi card but will need to flash a modded BIOS as the original BIOS only allows certain wifi card model to be connected at bootup (which they call it the white list). Do mind that flashing the BIOS will void the warranty if got caught by the service center when you send in for claims... The N and AC protocol will be wireless router dependent so if you want then just list the model of the router you're using and i will look into it then suggest which model suitable for your use...

careful mang
If you are using VMWare Workstation with Windows 8.1 you will have to reinstall it. I attempted a repair first but that didn't work so I removed and reinstalled, and now all is working just fine. VMWare player worked without having to do a reinstall. . . good luck.

Hi everyone I am using Y410p laptop. Its been nearly 2 months now and now problem arises. There is white flickering problem:
It happens 1. During Boot up 2. During shut down 3. Playing games 4. Normal browsing But it only happens occasionally. It is not stuck there, it will gone by itself in a few seconds, or when i move the screen forward a little, it will disappear and click alt-tab. Does anyone has any clue to what happened to my laptop? This image is when there is no white flickering.

I tried following the steps but to no success. The "ProtectOff" does nothing. The "2ndVGA_Winflash_Yx00" file showed "erased failed". Do i need to downgrade or be in certain version of my GPU driver?

Better get local set with 2 yrs warranty support rather than risk urself with US set without any warranty support locally. If u want cheap and dont care about warranty, after sales service and 1 to 1 exchange. Then can consider US set.
