Hello,

i have a problem with the Wireless Console and couldn´t find a answer yet.

I´ve installed a clean Windows 7 with all drivers from the Asus Page. It works all great, but i´m not able to deactivate Bluetooth. The Symbol shows that Bluetooth is off, but my Logiteh BT Mouse is working. I can disable/enable Wireless LAN, but switching on/off Bluetooth has no effect.

Has someone the same Problem?

that would seem to be the case.

so, a couple more test things: did you try cycling through the monitor settings while the ext monitor is attached? different key pattern on different makers/models but its probably a hold of the Fn key while pressing F4 or F6... should have a monitor icon on the right one. one press should do nothing, the 2nd press should attempt to light up the onboard monitor as well as the ext - both simultaneously. what we're looking for is a flicker or full operation.
Then cycle to the setting that turns off [stops vid from going to] the ext monitor. supposedly you're back to the laptop's own monitor. I would very carefully move the lid slowly to the closed position and watch the display carefully. my guess is somewhere in that cycle of movement you'll see it pop on briefly. if that's the case, then yes, the connector has worked loose.
pull the manual, take it apart, fix it.

hey, I bought this laptop a week ago and realized that the performance during games is absolutely horrible. it is a european model, so radeon 6650 with an integrated 6480 with no crossfire. the main problem is that amd catalyst does not register(see?) radeon 6650. I can see it in the device manager(as radeon 6600m series, the other one is listed as 6400m series), but it seems like that is far as it goes. i tried to update that specific car's driver by right clicking on device manager, but that only made amd catalyst listing the primary chipset as 6400m series rather than 6480g.

I don't know what to do, can somebody please help me? I literally scanned a hundred pages here with no luck :/

What do you mean it does not register?

If you right click your desktop do you get an option "configure switchable graphics"? If so click it and find the game .exe you are going to play and set it to "high performance", that will use your 6650m.

[randomnickname214]

what I mean is that amd catalyst shows 6480g as the primary chipset, and does not even see 6650. and yes, i do choose high performance for games, and it gives really crappy performance instead, which was the thing that tipped me off about the issue. a radeon 6650m does not get 18 fps average for assassin's creed 2 on lowest settings.

Yeah I tried cycling through the monitor settings no luck. Also when I turn on the computer there is an orange flash and then it goes back to black. And I see like lines on the monitor but it's very dim.

How do I fix the connector?

I get a 3DMark06 score of 7224 with my K53TA.
