I've formatted my friend's lappy last night. She said that she never knew of any CD provided with the lappy when I asked about the Driver CD. Is it true that HP doesn't provide the CD? BTW, the lappy is CQ50-104AU.

i think so because HP has its own recovery system, just press f11 while you on your notebook then you are on the way to format the notebook back to the original factory settings (just knew that few days ago)

I don't understand. How to do that? When to press F11? By doing so no driver installer is needed?

Actually Ive successfully installed all the drivers. But it was really tiring to look for all of them. And there are several installer that can't detect hardware. Had to do it manually through device manager. Spent all night for drivers sweat.gif  sweat.gif

if your friend did not delete the original factory settings recovery system for the notebook, once you on the notebook just press button F11 then it will lead you to reinstall your notebook to the original factory settings thumbup.gif

F11 is to initiate the system recovery process to recover back to the factory initial settings ( like what you get when you 1st open the notebook), however this is only applicable to NB with the os pre-installed by HP.

oh.. ya, i forgot to mention that

Send back to HP service centre is a wise choice. biggrin.gif

Luckily my CQ lappy is under On-site service warranty. Means HP engineer will come to service the lappy at my house.

Future driver update will solve the problem, but not now lor...

current bluetooth driver is meant for Vista not Windows 7 yet ma. biggrin.gif

as i know, the HP engineer will only collect from your place back to office and not fixed on the spot like Dell smile.gif

i think there's a HP software inside your notebook(if you got install) to check your battery health, go try it.

not sure whether you can adjust it using software but your question on the brightness has been asked quite a number of times here, i think there was no solution

oh ya... i remember someone posted a software that can adjust the brightness but may not affect the battery life, you have to search around this topic and the 133/134AX thread
