Hello.

FIXED. No need to read.

I am having an issue with sleep on my 3820TG. When I leave laptop for some time or when I chose "sleep" in start menu, my notebook won't wake up. I can hear the hard drive working, but screen stays black. I can only restart.

Could someone here help me with this issue?

BTW. Hibernation works fine. Normal shut down works fine. Only sleep is broken.

EDIT: It seems that my notebook will even go to sleep when I close the lid and won't wake up screen, but I can hear sound from speakers, windows is running. Only screen won't power back on.

EDIT2: I removed all GPU drivers and installed latest from LESHCATLABS. It fixed my sleep problem.

I got a 3820TG with Win7HPx64 and HD5650m graphics. Any ideas?

Thanks /Antonia

Just curious guys, do any of you use Notebook Fans??? As in external ones. Which ones would you recommend and does it allow the video card to be overclocked a bit more?

[Just_a_Nick]

No need of extra fans.

[beast1944]

Don't know why but my card is just crazy, perhaps I have ty fans, I don't know, but since the first day I got my notebook I have had troubles with overheating, I have given the notebook to the service center to get it cleaned, I have tried the fan profiles, set it to gaming for example and still its running extremely hot when gaming. When I run ATI tools artifact the card reaches around 95 degrees in just 3 minutes, and this is without any overclocking, just default card.

i have been using this notebook for 2 years for whatever reasons you can imagine of without the need of a cooling fan

, is it just me being unlucky then (((

[do Malho]

I had that as well. After some weird resets while playing I checked the temperatures and they were up to 100 degrees...

After checking in on this forum I cleaned and repasted it and the temps came down to middle 80s. Recently I applied the gaming profile of the 3820TG Custom Fan Profiles mod and it never passes 80 now, even on full load =D

Hi guys!!!

I've recently acquired the last unit of a 3820 TG in a shopping center of Barcelona by the prize of 380€(450$ aprox.). It was the i3 330 model with HD5470.

Some days before, I had purchased an ASUS u32u with APU E-450 and it was too slow, so when I saw the 3820TG I returned immediately the asus!!

The problem I've is the same I had with my 5820TG...and is...is...the switchable mode!!! is this a new problem? jeje

I didn't resolve the problem in the 5820 because I used it always with AC, and always with radeon card activated.

But now, I use the 3820 always with battery(I have 9 cell and 6 cell bat) and I'm interesting in the possibility of switch the graphic card whenever I want.

ACC were not installed in the 3820. This unit was the sample unit and I don’t know what kind of sw the shoppers installed, or unistalled

So I installed the latest drivers from ACER. Then restart and change to discrete mode. Then, I installed the latest ACC from AMD...almost 10 times with a little differences…

The result is that with AC the switch is OK(when I have the switchable mode, before install AMD drivers), but with battery, only during this session is ok, with sw and with the P button.
When I restart (without change to discrete), in battery mode the P button doesn't work(only increase the luminosity), and changing the card with acc doesn't work to.
After that, I install the AMD acc latest version and the results are the same…
Also I used a aty drivers cleaner before install de acer drivers, after uninstall the acer or amd drivers, and the result is the same…

And now, during the install process (ACER drivers and AMD drivers) I see a warning message (yellow colour!!). The description is something like “another device was found”…but I can switch de cards with AC. In battery mode not…

The only thing that I can do is doing a recovery installation from recovery partition and begin the process again.

Any idea before doing the restore?

Thanks a lot for your forum. You are a gurus!!

How I can write my signature?? I don't have the option in my control panel :s ...
