The left button beside m1 under the screen

ah.... thank u thank u

there is a button under the screen next to the shortcuts.. the first on the left at the very top of the keyboard

No issue here with Seagate Wireless External HDD (Moded with a 1tb OCZ 840 EVO ssd in it)

i encountered a weird problem.. when i plug in an external HDD to the usb3 port on the left side, the laptop detects it. When i start transferring file, it will run for a few seconds and then stopped. The HDD will then behave like it was ejected and then put back in. Meaning it will pop a new explorer windows everytime.

Using the same HDD at the 2 usb3 port on the right side has no issue. It detects and transfers file normally..

sorry to bother you again >< as for malaysia currently, the streamyx 8mbps max speed only around 8.5mbps upload speed base on speedtest.net

how would i benefit from the 802.11AC router which provides much more transfer speed? since from ISP its already limited 8mbps

I really dont get why ure mixing up between isp and wifi dual band ac connection

Also streamyx afaik doesnt have synchronous upload/download. So its ure download at 8mbps. Ure upload should be way less since its a adsl

the best connection via wifi is on a 5ghz with no drops. Doesnt matter whether its AC or N. AC is beneficial if ure having a fast ssd and a gigabit internet or ure doing a lot of transfers between computers but as i said u will need a fast hdd/ssd to maintain a 100MB/s.

Y ure friends say use dual band so there wont be a channel clash or interference on that wifi channel with other wifi running around ure housing area etc.

Dude this is just to make sure on ure end.. ure house.. u got a lag free networking.
they rest ure at the mercy of the isp.

To make things simpler. Its better if you have a dual band router. And no you dont need a AC dual band router unless ure doing a lot of large file transfers/streaming between ure devices in ure own network.

I been using the left side usb3 port for my Toshiba external hdd that supports usb3 swap to right side also no problem with transferring files. So it's case specific, try the method suggested above to stop 2mm before end


Lol dude lemme make this easier to differentiate the two. We have isp and we have router.

The isp sends data to your router. That's the external network

Your router then sends data to your laptop and nearby devices, that's local area network or LAN.

The network protocol 802.11AC affects the local area network not the external network. Meaning you can transfer files between devices inside your local network(both or more connected to the same router) at a speed higher than 8mbps (limited by both party hard disk speed and WiFi speed). Eg transfer files between your laptop and your phone or your desktop or to your television

okay i'm clear alot about it already now

thanks sifu for enlightening me !

I believe it's more to a small difference in USB port/cable head design in terms of the length/depth. Different OEMs may differ slightly. When u have a case where the cable head is a bit longer than usual and the sensor chip within it is exactly in the middle and u plug the whole cable head into the port at a fast speed u might miss the contacts between the sensors between the port and the cable. It happened only to my WD cables occasionally but not on my mouse, keyboard, pendrive, etc. Just my theory based on what i experienced.

But once the HDD has been detected even if i pushed the cable in further there is usually no disconnection. So as long i gently push the cable (which is recommended in general, don't be rough lol) the external peripheral is detected in all occasions. Anyway it's not something I'd call a defect.

If it can't detect from the get go, then i can understand the logic bout the different length or depth of the physical port or cable head.

But in my case, it detects fine, explorer pop out fine, but once files transfer start, it go from 30 over mbs to zero in seconds, then stopped responding.



after a bit, you can hear the system sound as it disconnect and re detect the HDD

using that same HDD + cable on the right side port or on my desktop, no issue.

same issue here with my phone charging on the left port ( the port which optimize charging ) the system sound kept playing and playing after it disconnect and connects/

1.which port?? the USB 3 or USB 2
2.what phone ure using??
3.Laptop was on battery or charging

really odd i really dont have this issues. using the z5 now..
even now as i am typing to u charging the phone, running widi to my tv.. watching a tv show stream on extended.

its working like a charm

PrinceJ
Bro why is some ppl having issues?? odd

My issues was my hub that connecting keyboard and mouse and cooling pad kept disconnect and reconnect .

However, when i remove cooling pad, everything works fine

Just tested.. Iphone 6+.. no prob dude.
Charging while notebook on bat no prob
Charging while notebook on power no prob

I think its time ppl took a poll on this.
How many ppl is actually suffering this issue.
Is this on all z5 or depends on devices etc
cause for me all my devices work.

btw i dont use cooling pads/usb hubs etc

Haven't experienced the usb issue that everyone been harping since last thread. Did notice the screen wobble if you hold and release but considering the fact that I need to hold the laptop and the screen in order to open the cover lid, else it won't open, the lid is quite tightly secured.

For the usb I usually use a laser mouse and toshiba 1tb usb 3.0 external 2.5" hdd(heavy usage coz laptop internal i swap to ssd) ocassionally a thumb drive

Which makes think that those having issues either
1. Its a faulty port
2. Driver issue in windows
3. Bios issue

My bios is not on default. Its exclusively runs in efi with every option to speed up booting.

How many of u guys having this issue
1. Install windows n drivers ureself
2. Windows was preinstalled by iLLegear

Can't say for sure does sound a lot like voltage problem

My bios and drivers are all pre-installed by illegear. Oh BTW mine is windows 7. Bios that is installed is the latest one that is meant for Windows 10

Fortunately my cooling pad can take 5v DC power (optional), but troublesome lah have to plug in socket. Or else the 3 USB hubs in the cooling pad may not supply enough power for multiple stuff being plugged in. The laptop's one single USB port don't have enough power for the fan and another 3 ports in the built-in Hub.

My windows 10 was preinstalled by illegear, works just fine
I believe that for those using external hubs (if 4 USB ports are still not enough for them) there may be a lack of voltage. My external HDDs and even cooling pad takes a DC power source so I don't have this issue regarding insufficient voltage.
