Have you got some schedule / timetable for availability of the fix for F3Ja ?
And, how long was it for other models for which you get new bios, between request and delivery ?

i have recieved the asus v1j beta bios update from asus if any one needs the v1j bios then email me on probrmark@msn.com
It has not fixed the issue on my laptop so if ken gets sent one could you post htat as it may be slightly different??
any ideas why its not working??

Ken you got any news for F3JA, sorry to sending reminder so ealry but i would like to have the fix before Friday if any as leaving for foreign.

Thanks alot

I request the BIOS fix for V1J and F3JA, but I was told by Asus North America that we probably won't receive the BIOS from them since it's not a North America model, but I'll let you guys know the status of it.

Ken I gota tell you... I just flashed the bio's on my z96j and im damn happy to report all issues of grainness are gone. Thank's for all your hard work and support... you will always have my bussiness for that.

Congradulations.

Hi Ken, still no news about the final BIOS?

Ken, help help, we need your help !

I tried twice to contact technical support of ASUS France.
I sent them a descrption of the problem, with a link to this thread, telling them
- the issue is recognized by ASUS
- and ASUS is able to solve it
since ASUS did solve it for some laptops models in the US.

Unfortunately, I got an answer on "how to flash the BIOS" !

I replied that it was NOT my question, and redevelopping all arguments to ask from ASUS a new BIOS.

A second time, almost the same answer on how to flash BIOS (and moreover, even the explanation is not correct....)

So, if you are not able to receive by yourself the new BIOS from ASUS, could you please give us the coordinates of people you are in contact with in ASUS, and a summarize of arguments you developped to convince them that
1 - it's a bug
2 - they must solve it
3 - they can solve it.

Hi Ken,

I bought a V1J too and I have the same problem of grain screen.
Could you contact again Asus for a bios update for the V1J please !

Thank you.

I did called Asus NA today, they haven't hear anything from Taiwan, I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear from them, sorry guys but right now, I just have nothing to update.

Yes, Ken, you have something to add !

As I said in my previous post (just above), please help us providing :
- the coordinates of people you are in contact with in ASUS,
- and a summarize of arguments you developped to convince them that
1 - it's a bug
2 - they must solve it
3 - they can solve it.

Thank's
Laurent

1 - it's a bug : I told them already and they know it.
2 - they must solve it : They will and they are working on it.
3 - they can solve it. : Yes just add the new VGA BIOS into the original BIOS just like what they did to W3J and S/Z96J.

I just don't know the status of it, but if I hear anything from them I'll let you know.

Hi guys, I'm also an owner of this V1J, the glossy WXGA screen version one. And yes, it's grainy and the colors are terrible.

My retailer has warned me about this when I purchased it, but they promised that ASUS will fix (at least) the grainness problem.

However while I'm browsing to find a solution to this, I find reviews on V1Js with non glossy WSXGA+ screens (ooh if only I could find one). They say the screen is fantastic. Does it mean that those lappies are not affected by this grainness issue? Is it the panel that cannot be driven by X1600? Because I tested the VGA out on a flat panel, it's not grainy at all, and the sharp colors make me shocked on how terrible V1J screen is.


...and I used to be an owner of Fujitsu N3510, a lappie with one of the best screens around... now I miss my old lappie that heated itself to death T_T

Well, at least the BIOS fix helped. Now to make sure this thing survives....(sup Ken, sent the HD...)

Hey beta BIOS out alr? Send me one lor...
