I have a N150 plus netbook, 6 mo. old. Using it on the internet this afternoon, it froze up; went to Task Manager, which also froze. I then rebooted and it won't boot--powers up, gives the "samsung" screen, then nothing. I've done F2 and restored to original defaults; still nothing. I've also done F4 Recovery--nothing. Now what?

You should be able to press 'F4' at boot time and access Samsung Recovery Software, and then reinstall the back-up that would have been made the first time the netbook was switched on - a 'factory reset'...

There is a program called easy display manager.

Hope this information will help.
Your response is very much appreciated. Thank you for using Fixya...

Check to make sure your wireless driver is functional (this is located in device manager if you are running windows 7 right click computer>properties> Device manager (located on left blue bar)

if that is working make sure that your wireless switch (located on right side of laptop) is turned on

and if that is on then make sure you have the right password for the network

I found a driver online.

Click the "driver" tab (in between "manuals" and "software")
The first link should work for you.

WHat programs are running at that time? Please check using task manager. There must be a program that activates itself when internet is accessible and then present the abnormal behaviour. Suggest closing programs (end process from task manager) one by one while the screen flashes in order to determine the culprit.

check mo sa system device manager kung properly installed yung driver ng cam mo. if not, load mo ulit yung cam driver. if yopu are using win7, auto configure na yan sa internet right click mo lng yung not properly installed na device then select scan drivers for auto detecting and installing drivers galing sa internet.
