ASUS m6n Notebook - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I would agree with clb199 mostly, I'd certainly try a different power supply before dropping any money on a repair. A lot of times a loose connection can cause the backlight to brighten and dim as it goes from AC to DC to AC again.. does it do this even when the AC adaptor is unplugged

Could also be the FL inverter going bad.. but usually the screen would go from lit to black (but you could see the display in bright light) if that were the case.

Try plugging in an external display and see if that display does the same thing.

Last but not least, boot your Windows XP (or any other bootable) disc. Does the screen still flicker when you are in the boot menu or does it only do it after Windows loads? If it only does it when logged into Windows then it is a software issue and we can troubleshoot further from there. (you can test this without a disc by rebooting your PC and loading the BIOS setup, usually the F2 key)

Keep us posted or PM me directly.

You can download the drivers from ASUS WEB site. Selectyour model motherboard/computer/laptop, and make sure you select the Windows 7 or Vista version of the drivers that matches your Windows operating system.Please click on this link to their WEB support site : - http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

I cant post the link here because its javascript.
Goto support.asus.com and in the search bar to your left, type K40AF and select All from the Category menu. Click search and select the product from the search result. Choose your OS, and install the drivers for your hotkeys. One of them will enable them.
Cheers.

your only connected to the router...and the router did not assign an IP Address

If your trying to get on the internet with a wireless connection.and running WINDOWS, .and I am assuming you DO have a wireless router all set up and configured to broadcast the signal (not hidden) ... first try this

try resetting the router (disconnect the power to it for a few minutes) next --be sure the wifi switch is enabled on the netbook---TRY IT NOW---if still no luck, then---go to CONTROL PANEL>NETWORK CONNECTIONS--right click oin your wifi card and choose properties--highlight INTERNET PROTOCOL and choose properties and be sure "OPTAIN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY" is checked--Does the laptop "SEE" the router?
You will need your SSID to logon to the router(internet)

If this was helpful, please indicate so, if not -comment back so we can dig further to resolve this.

It could be several things, if you are just starting the computer for the first time, it may have encountered an error on the installation media.
Are you using a DVD or CD for the installation? Try cleaning it and retry.
If this is the first time you have attempted it, retry.

If still fails use the emergency disk that comes with all asus machines.

Hello.

The most common reasons are the power adapter/cord and power jack.

If you move/wiggle the power adapter at the point where it connects to the laptop, and the power goes off and on, the power jack is the problem.

The power jack is inside the laptop and either needs soldering or replacement.

If no change, the power adapter is probably faulty and needs replacement.

Also, power off and remove the battery. If the laptop powers on with just the adapter connected, your battery is faulty.

Hope this helps.

Wifi cant be swtiched on at the laptop. Can be the only issue - if it is, suspect radio receiver fault.

Please follow the diagnosis outlined in this article to check whether the backlight lamp or the inverter board are the root cause of the problem or not:
http://www.fixya.com/support/r6430776-troubleshooting_laptop_power_failures

If you connect the external monitor & nothing is displayed on it, then this means that both the backlight lamp & the inverter board are fine. The main indicators in these cases are the sound, and the hard drive LED on the laptop case. If the laptop sounds just like it always does for a minute or two after being turned on, it means it's going ahead and booting the operating system, but the video processor or part of the motherboard circuit for video output has failed. If the laptop just sits there and beeps when you turn it on, or if you hear the fan but not the hard drive chuckling with its active LED flashing away, it means the laptop isn't getting as far as trying to boot the operating system. While this could be due to any number of hardware problems, the most common and easiest to
troubleshoot or repair is RAM failure. If your laptop has two RAM modules installed, try booting with just one and then the other in the primary slot. If your laptop only has one RAM module, you might consider buying one online from a site with a good memory selector, like Crucial.com.

depending on your OS, go to your display properties (right click on desktop) settings there to rotate your screen back, usually display/rotate display

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/CONFIG/SYSTEM
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM
Select “r” at the first screen to repair

So then i click r at the first screen and nothing happens...It keeps on repeating to repair on and on with the same message after i clicked r. I can't even access to the window...what can i do???

It's called Function key.It must be ON because you need it for the special characters like Brightness, Mute, Volume, Monitor, BlocNum, etc.

ask a expert

Hi, I presume you have internet installed already.
Is it dsl connection you have or via a digital set top tv box, such as SKY or Virgin , I don't know which country you are in, but you will have to find a provider first.

All you need is wireless router and the first connections are :-
1/ Phone line to modem
2/ Modem to router
3/ Router to laptop ( This is a physical, temporary connection, while the wireless part is setup.
4/ Which ever router you buy, follow the instructions carefully

If you need more help, please ask.

Obviously, this is a driver problem. What you can do is to go to Asus' website and download the appropriate driver for your motherboard.

Make sure to select between the correct windows version.

Hi,

Try resetting the network adapter.

On the bottom right hand side of the desktop you will see the wireless icon, right click on that ans click on troubleshoot problems. This will reset the adapter and assign an IP address for your your PC.

When its done try to connect to the internet.

If this advice does not help please post back.




Good luck.

first, remove any external device as well as the ac adapter and the battery. while the ac adapter and battery is out, press and hold the power button for about 15seconds. then reconnect any power source and turn on the system. if it still doesnt turn on, remove memory, expansion cards, hard drive and optical drive then turn on the system. if it's still not turning on, the motherboard is faulty. but if it do turned on, reconnect the removed components one by one so you will determine which component is causing the issue. hope it'll help. good day. =)

Most of the time you can find a replacement through Ebay, however, the repair can be kinda tricky. If you post the model number, I can try to find more information and maybe a link to a new hinge for you.

Problema com Orbicam Acer Aspire 3690-2023.
Tenho o driver instalado para Vista Ultimate, mas a camera não funciona, o que fazer?

I would suggest this: Look for a new cover on e-Bay. Then swap it out when you find one.
The hinges really can't be repaired.
