The Unofficial Asus Z71V Support Thread

[crassick]

I wasn't able to scroll using the touchpad in Firefox. Apparently, this is an issue with the latest Synaptics driver. You can read about it by searching for "synaptics" on the Mozillazine forums http://forums.mozillazine.org/search.php?mode=results, especially this thread: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewto...ight=synaptics. I downloaded an earlier version of the driver from http://www.qditech.com.au/downloads.php , removed the current driver using Add/Remove Programs, and then ran the setup.exe for the later driver. I can now scroll in Firefox, though I haven't tested the old driver in other applications.

Go to www.laptopvideo2go.com and you could get an ever later version to use on this baby. Working great for me. I think I am using 76.41 right now, the latest leak out there is 76.50

FYI..

You could customize the Asus Z71V cover with a very nice design of your own or pick from anyone of these.

From StarTech:

We have recently come up with a way to enhance your Z71 with custom graphics. We will use high quality vinyl and cut it to the shape of the Z71 inlay on the lid. The vinyl will last 7 years without fading. This is great for someone who wants to have their laptop be a little different.

If you are interested in something like this, we can also do custom ones. Here is a link to the examples page: http://pc11.flashecom.com/startech/s...s.asp?pid=1176

Thanks,

Media Specialist / Internet Sales Associate

The ones we have designed are 69.99, and custom ones are 79.99.
When you purchase a Z71 you get a 30$ off coupon to make them 39.99 & 49.99 respectively.

(What if you already own a Z71V ehehhe)

We will sell them seperate.

Alright smile... help me out here...


Are those normal temps? im not sure if you're familier with EVEREST, but it seems like a cool program to check out temps... but i'm trying to find out the temp of the GPU, because it keeps restarting durring CS: Source. Any ideas?

do you think the AUX could be the GPU?

:EDIT:

I ran the Video Stress Test and now i really want to know if the AUX temp reading is my video card...
