I got a new battery about a week ago.

Last night my battery indicator started flashing yellow-green-yellow-green...

It does this with and without the power cord plugged in.

What is causing this?

What ssd:s are you guys using with ul50vt? I have been having some hard time with ssd:s. Crucial c300 reboots every once in a while, and has some kind of conflict with the cdrom in windows 7. Sometimes i can use the cdrom, others not (it disappears from win7, and im sure its the ssd because with hd it works fine). It also reboots the machine occationally.

Vertex II works perfectly except that the hibernate function did not work . When the machine resumed from hibernate it crashed.....

Id like to get the machine working properly with an ssd (hibernation included). So thats why im asking.

My power button pushed in too far today and broke. I can barely get it to turn on.
Is this a known issue or is it just me?

I may have to fix it myself as it looks like they are saying it is damage caused by the user..... I guess I turned it on too much..... shhhhessssh

I may need a dis-assembly manual.

I like my Agility 3 with my UL80VT. No major problems. The odd bluescreen, but I'm sure thats the ancient video drivers above all.
No problems with Hibernate / Suspend
Make sure your running the latest Bios (or fairly current release) and AHCI mode is set in Bios

I just replaced my Vertex 2 with a Samsung 830 SSD. Finally my laptop can sleep & hibernate without any problems.
I will newer buy a OCZ product again!

I am running 8gb or ram... unfortunately 1333 is down-clocked to 1000-ish... you can boost it to 1100-1150 using setfsb (shareware version), but thats pushing it to the max

this is the ram i bought
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-8GBSQ


I just installed windows 8 consumer preview on this, and everything is running smoothly other than a few video refresh bugs that I know are due to the old nvidia drivers :\ not sure what to do. windows 8 developer preview worked flawlessly with the drivers available to us

**EDIT**
Okay i got something stable going... after a few days of toying around...
Ive peaked at around a 12 hour battery life by downclocking the processor below 1ghz. the laptop runs smoothly for office suite. I had powerpoint, publisher, and word opened with no indications of slow downs.

Ive also overclocked to 1.95ghz and the increase has actually been fairly noticeable and stable. It also sped up the ram and I broke the 6.0 WEI barrier on this laptop!

Has anynone mount on UL50VT a ssd instead of hard disk, and simultaneously an hard disk into dvd slot?
Is it possibile?
Have I purchase an adaptor?

thanks

I am following this thread a few months, and it is very useful. I am the happy owner of Asus UL80VT, and I am thinking about to upgrade my Asus with backlit keyboard. I found very useful articles here about upgrading UL30VT, but none about UL80VT backlit keyboard modification. Fortunately, I found a great pictures of Asus UL80VT backlit keyboard mod at: Photo Gallery

Is there any lucky owner of UL80VT with backlit keyboard?
