Does anybody know how to setup the key on wireless keyboard to power up the laptop? Help is greatly apriciated

It should be under:
Everest->Motherboard->ACPI->SLIC: Software Licensing Description Table

If it is not there then it could be that everest is not able to display it in the N61JQ. It could be the case since Risco was also saying he could not see it under this section.

It definitely shows up on the N61JQ. I used the trial version.

I didn't really notice any improvement. Transferring a 23 GB file to my external, it eventually settled to ~65 MB/s. It did seem to go faster for a longer time before that (started around 80-90 MB/s).

Is it slow, what is your USB3 hardware ???

I was looking around the thread and couldn't find anything on this..

I noticed Newegg carries multiple DDR3 1333 : 10600, 10660 and 10666. CPU-ID reads 10700..

Which is the correct to buy? Also whats the fastest memory the motherboard can handle?

Thanks!

I've posted it before. It's mostly limited by the hard drive speed.

It does not show up in everest. Is there any other way I can check for it?

Donald ,any ideas on this?

Sorry, I have not a clue

Donald, Is this just on the N61 or other Asus models.

It applies to virtually all laptops. It is a generally accepted rule of operation to never close the lid on a running laptop...give it some breathing room. It is just right if you close it until the screen light goes out and stop there.

Well then I guess they didn't put this on my motherboard either.
What are the drawbacks of not having this?

If you have to restore from the recovery partition, you will have to re-activate Windows over the phone. You will have to do this every time you restore.

With the SLIC table in place, Windows will know it came installed on your laptop and will not complain when you restore from the recovery partition.

Edit: Risco was concerned because he thinks it may hurt the resale value of his laptop. Personally, I would recommend imaging (Macrium Reflect or Acronis) the drive after you delete all the bloatware you don't want and get the system just how you like it. Both programs should let you create recovery DVDs (or just one large image file on an external hard drive), which you can use to restore your laptop to the exact state in the image (in case your hard drive dies or something).
