hello all...a new V3415 AU user here...I've got all the driver installed and everything is working perfectly now...shop gave me all the drivers...so i wish i could help...try check which driver you dont have and contact me...see whether i got then i send for you..

did you turn on? then try refresh the network list...

if let say u r in starbucks, you will see the time zone network...then double click to connet to that network...

then viola....you can online ady....

waaa..so hot?

btw how u check you nforce, gpu temperature?

anyone knows?

i feel this lappy hot too....normall use already HDD 48c, CPU 58c(with cooler pad)....im using notebook hardware controller to check...

the worst is when im trying to burn dvd....cpu hot untill 78c!!! walao...so scare... ....error in burning sumor...

as far as i know, AMD is hotter...

so anyone share the same problem and anyone come out with a solution already??

apart from the heat issue...i love this lappy..LOL...serves me well...

just wonder why it turns so hot..

i have a opinion here to share...the small CPU fan below (top left) that suppose to withdraw heat out from the processor, why the opening holes for the fan only opens 1/4 of the whole circle??

if you dont undastan which part im talking abt, flip ur lappy up and see....

aint it suppose to make more opening for the heat to be withdrawn easilly..

feels like using a screwdriver to poke more holes..hahahahah

i compare this lappy with my gf's Lenovo, Heaven and Earth man...Watch movie 2 hours without cooler pad but the heat still go steady only...

where do you find nvidia tune bro? mind to share??

super duper cooler pad? got kah?? you mean using air con below the lappy...hmm..hahahaha....

sometime feel cooler pad abit not right also...hot place dont wan blow, go and blow cold place...i mean the design of the cooler pad...i use to turn around my cooler pad..

so next time buy cooler pad make sure u know which part is hot under ur lappy first...

bro, can i know where is the nforce chipset? is the heat sink at upper right of the lappy??

cooling design really kinda stupid. anyone got solution for this?

cooler pad doesnt really work much you see..


havent try it on batery yet...but what i can advise is, dont drain untill your batery till flat...charge it around 40%....
but since this lappy got heat problem, i guess this lappy's batery wont last longer than other lappy....just guessing..correct me if im wrong..

im using kingston 667 SODIMM RAM to upgrade...think is a suggestion based on my experience for you to go for kingston..

\
but now use lappy d still the habbit of one eye jack habbit still with me...download whole day..

kinda worry it will burn off...

use cooler pad also not much difrence oni..

once buy no regret...find something that suits ur needs, not chasing the specs...im happy with my lappy now...use untill kaput buy a new one la...untill that time also lagi better punya specs come out ady..hahaha...

Hi all,

I've been using compaq laptop for more than 3 months already. bought on 13 Aug 2007...model V3415 AU...

well, untill now this lappy is still serving me well and i am satisfied with the hardware quality.

Good quality with a good price tag...value for money

The only FLAW on this lappy i noticed is only the HEAT problem!!

as for now, im doing my job and surfing low yat.net without a cooler pad, the HDD temp is 55C and the CPU is 60C....it's really hot when i touch on the bottom of this lappy...

it's even worst when u burn a DVD or CD...skyrocketed to 70++C even with cooler pad....i dont think cooler pad has something to do with this and cooler pad only helps a lil bit...

anyone come out with a solution for compaq laptop heat problem?

i open up the RAM and HDD part of this lappy and i found that the heat sinking design is kinda not practical...it's too covered up and very few exits for heat....feels like poking some holes behind it sometimes..ahahah....

anyone has a solution plaese kindly share it here.....im quite annoyed with the heat problem already...

i think the heat problem is also one of the reason that leads to the fast batery draining problem...any idea????

my gf's lenovo y400 very keng, no heat problem at all, and the batery life is ofcoz better compare to my V3415AU...

no one complain about heat problem??? anyone here to share??

never feel hot on the lower left?? the HDD part place??

never try burn DVD and see? when u burn DVD, check out the heat....untill more than 70C...

use notebook hardware control...you can google it...it's a freeware....


yupe, less ventilation exhaust, that's why i say i feel like poke some hole under the lappy..hahahahah...for the batery, i think there are some ppl in this forum selling, probably bcoz their lappy stolen or something...


if not mistaken, we can check 3 temperatures....one is HDD temp, another is CPU temp and the other one is GPU(using nvdia nview or something)...

i also notice that not long ago...it's something like, the left side handles the bass, and the right side handles the treble...i dont think it's a fault...but overall, speaker still good compare to other brand's lappy...

welcome tai kor!!

btw what's the difrence with dynamic switching and batery optimized?

bro..mind to tell me where to download this speedswitchXP? give me the link or email me the sw please..thanks in advance..

NHC is ok...just disable the system startup lo..so it wont disturb the start up speed...after u start up when u need it, then u only turn on urself...

im sitll thinking of a way to reduce the heat...anyone with ideas??

currently i shove a Marlboro box under my cooler pad, make it more space between the lappy and the pad for more ventilation air flow...but still doesnt help much..

thanks dude..

i've compare with NHC and i think NHC has got more functions compare to this switch XP...

bpth works almost the same ...so it's depends on user to choose which one they like,,

hmmm..the one with the Q logo is better...my V3415 AU is the Compaq logo...

by the way, i think HP's design is better...although look almost like, especially the LCD part...

now this is cool...but im sure it drains alot of power...

even they have biger cells, i dont think the batery life can last for long if u r gaming on batery...just my 2 cents...if only play at home with AC power on all the time, might itself buy a desktop and modify kao kao for gaming..value for money...

im no gamer...you need a gamer's mind to explain..lol..any volunteer?

more heavy=shoulder pain!

i think gaming laptop is more for showing off purpose...LOL
