Asus G71G Owners

[HeavyMetalSamurai]

Welcome to the forums!

I believe only the G71V has a subwoofer (i think), but the G71G doesn't (for sure).

Thanks for the welcome, David. Trying to get the hang of this forum thing. First time ever on any forum. Do you have any suggestions on a computer?

Hey David, I lost my response. Think I started a new thread.

No need to. It got moved to the proper forum:
Asus G71G

I did not check the Control Panel itself but assume it is there because the icon is in my tray. I am not in front of the machine right now to say for sure, but I did do the double install as indicated (1 for un, 1 for in) and headphones work fine.

Yes, the control panel icon is there.

I also have fan noise on boot. Will be interesting to hear the "official" way to solve this is

If anyone else solves the problem with low microphone recording level (both inbuilt and jack) please post here!

I haven't had any problems with the mic in or the built-in one. I've played Left 4 Dead using both and the only complaint I've had is that I sound robotic but that was from only 1 person and I've played lots of games and asked if I could be heard OK and that was the only complaint - and he said he could still understand me fine. I did turn the boost up all the way though - not sure if that had anything to do with it... but I also turned it down from all the way (30) to 20 when I had the "Robotic sounding" complaint and people say they still hear me fine.

Hi G71G owners, I'm about to purchase one soon. I'm very excited.
Here's what I gathered from reading all of the minor problems that have to be checked:
-Web Cam not aligned
-Clouding screen
-dead pixel
-fan sound during start up
-keyboard flex?-not sure.

Please do correct my list if there's a mistake.
Thanks in advance.

Only major problem is the fan sound on start up. I'm still awaiting news from Asus support. They are supposed to have their weekly meeting with the tech support in Taiwan. The representative that if its a hardware problem then all laptops will be recalled back to add a new part to resolve the fan problem. If its found to be a problem with the BIOS then it should be resolved through a download (although i doubt that its a bios problem). Well, I hope this helps for all those with the fan problem. Also don't try to fix the fan problem yourself since you can potentially void your warranty by removing the seal.

I fixed my LOUD FAN NOISE by adding a thin cardboard spacer.

along the edge of the metal fan casing near the clip (fan clip) next to the center screw(laptop center). spacer is in between the metal and the plastic casing in which the metal clips onto. unscrew two tiny screws, unclip the metal, slide in the thin spacer, clip on the metal, screw in the tiny screws, close lid up...The noise is gone.

Hope that help. my spacer was cut out of the backing of a legal notepad. Now that's low tech for you...LOL

seriously this worked for me.
