  About sa brightness ng screen dude, you can use the highest brightness setting(yung brightness pag naka plug yung adaptor), sa bios may i-di-disable ka lang na option I forgot what it's called pero dun yata sa power options ng bios LCD blah blah., tapos make sure na naka set sa highest yung brightness then restart, pag tapos ng restart don't touch the brightness ulit, bumabalik kasi sa dati yung saken pag ginalaw ulit or sinaksak yung adapter then tinanggal, But your right, talagang mas malabo screen ng a8 natin compared sa ibang laptop :(

  my temp idles at around 60C even when at minimal power management... i remembered i let the staff at asus clean my laptop... they removed the hsf but didn't apply a new thermal paste... this must be the culprit for my now very hot laptop... if someone could recommend a good paste then maybe my life would be better now... and oh btw... do you know where to buy a thermal tape?

• gloval on September 13, 2009 12:43 PM

  up

  grabe... my laptop idles at 90 na... damn... what's happening with my laptop.. it is really hot.. i really need to change the paste...

  @gloval
  
  Vista? :D same problem... anyway... good thermal paste is the one used with the CPU of desktops, the liquid silver. :D most computer shops have them, a small injection like tool with silver paste inside. :D

  sounds like cdrking to me..

• rylen on September 14, 2009 06:49 AM

  there're lots of sellers of that here in TPC, here: <click here for link> but I don't trust those cheap ones, di bale na mahal basta sure ang quality ^_^

• kyerie030 on September 15, 2009 05:57 AM

  @gloval
  
  well yeah... it looks like cdrking... the only difference is most of the time its branded (of course if its branded, it should be of high quality right?)

• seabournlegend on September 15, 2009 09:03 PM

  please show us pics on how you changed your cpu thermal pastes... for reference and guidance!
  
  
  thanks!! =)

• gloval on September 16, 2009 02:20 AM

  i am thinking of doing it myself.. the only thing that is stopping me from doing it successfully is the thermal rubber or clay thing on the gpu... it's quite malleable so i'm pretty sure it's not a thermal paste... aside from that.. everything is easy..

  @rylen
  - I just reverted back my OS from windows 7 to XP since I can't find fix to my problem regarding my A8JR DVD writer and Card Reader.
  
  @All
  - I just upgraded my Mem from 2gig to 4gig but XP-32bit can only dectected 2.8gig in my system. I am aware of not having 4gig in my system but i was hoping to get higher than 2.8gig. Anyone from you guys who already upgraded to 4gig, what OS do you have?

• seabournlegend on September 22, 2009 07:17 PM

  @wolfbomb
  
  - I think I will also revert my OS back to XP.. There are times that the fan of my A8JN won't turn on. I oftentimes need to restart my laptop in order for the fan to turn on. It's regrettable since I began to like the new OS.

  guys nagiging yellowish na ba ung LCD nyo? yung sa akin pansin ko medyo nagiging yellow na. :(

• dinocol on September 25, 2009 01:49 AM

• kyerie030 on September 25, 2009 04:13 PM

  @kolme
  
  yup, dilaw na dilaw na ung akin.
  
  @dinocol
  
  hahaha, you should find a replacement vid card instead... sayang ung laptop...

• chaoticboi on September 28, 2009 02:21 PM

  ilang gig ng RAM ang max capacity ng A8Le??
  
  i'm planning to upgrade my ram kc..

• gloval on September 28, 2009 02:23 PM

  safe limit is 3gb...
  
  pero try mo mag 4gb..

• chaoticboi on September 28, 2009 02:28 PM

  tanx for the reply..
  
  if you DIY the ram upgrade.. possible ba na maVoid ang warranty??

• gloval on September 28, 2009 02:33 PM

  nope..

• wolfbomb on September 28, 2009 04:08 PM

  if you DIY the ram upgrade.. possible ba na maVoid ang warranty??

  
  - di po yan. ginawa ko po yan with my A8JR after a month i got it then nasira yung hinge lappy ko pero wala naman me naging problema sa warranty.

• seabournlegend on September 29, 2009 07:16 PM

  if you DIY the ram upgrade.. possible ba na maVoid ang warranty??

  
  
  Nope. DIY'ed my RAM upgrade. Did not void my warranty...

• chaoticboi on October 07, 2009 09:25 PM

  guys, question.. ngcrash yun XP nun triny ko 4gb sa A8Le ko..
  
  hindi ba supported ng motherboard ang 4gb o OS lang talaga yun problema??
  
  nababasa naman ng bios yun 4gb ram eh..

• gloval on October 07, 2009 11:51 PM

  crash? paanong crash?

• wolfbomb on October 08, 2009 05:50 PM

  @chaoticboi
  - oo nga paanong crash sir. as long as walang problem sa ram ok dapat yan.

• chaoticboi on October 08, 2009 07:16 PM

  crash = naghahang.. after a while, nagrerestart na..
  
  you think switching to a 64bit OS would solve the problem??
  
  updated na rin naman sa 206 un bios ko eh..

• gloval on October 08, 2009 09:09 PM

  @chaoticboi..
  
  210 ang latest bios if i remember correctly... (a8jr wise)
  
  anyway, wala naman problems ang 4gb samin... try mo muna memtest...

• kyerie030 on October 10, 2009 12:41 PM

  its 211 not 210 @gloval.
  =)

• chaoticboi on October 10, 2009 04:57 PM

  well, i guess A8Le does not support 4gb of ram..
  
  too bad, tried so many times.. i still get the blue screen..
