Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG mods/tweaks ONLY!

is there a bios with a more aggressive profile over 66° on vga fan ? it would help in OC

 

What have people used their programmable keys for? Is there an "actual" way to set them to change graphics?

I've "hacked" together an autohotkey script which does it for me but was wondering if theres a better way to do it....

 

UPDATE:
Even through I get the configuration window, any changes I make do not work. Pressing P button DOES NOT launch an application that I set. Might need to edit the configuration file in Launch Manager folder to add the P button. Maybe that will make it work?

Actually, I opened LMConfig.exe in a hex editor (from Launch Manager folder) and found the way to program the programmable buttons.

You can also find a whole lot of LManager (Launch Manager) configuration in the registry. I haven't really looked at it, since I don't use Windows. (see attached dump of LManager registry settings)

To get access to Launch Manager configuration, simply create a shortcut to:
Windows 32-bit: "C:\Program Files\Launch Manager\LMConfig.exe" -config_Show -Reg:[ Dritek,LManager]-
Windows 64-bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch Manager\LMConfig.exe" -config_Show -Reg:[ Dritek,LManager]-

On 3820TG, you get a Window like this:


Programming keys on other Acer models
As for other Acer laptop models, you can use the same trick, but you will have to change Dritek to YOUR manufacturer of the programmable buttons. You can find it in the registry:
1. Press Win key + R
2. Type regedit and hit Enter.
3. On the left side, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
4. Press Ctrl+ F and type LManager. Press OK.
5. Keep pressing F3 to find the next item that matches.
6. After a few tries you will find something like this:

As you can see, the highlighted is my button manufacturer, Dirtek.

7. Now simply use the shortcuts below, but replace Dirtek with YOUR manufacturer.
Windows 32-bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch Manager\LMConfig.exe" -config_Show -Reg:[ Dritek,LManager]-
Windows 64-bit: "C:\Program Files\Launch Manager\LMConfig.exe" -config_Show -Reg:[ Dritek,LManager]-

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 yesterday evening. I tryed to get switchable graphics working following the guide in the OP. It kinda works, it disabled my discrete card

But, when I try to switch to discrete using the switch_between_cards.sh it restarts X (like it should) but then I just get a screen with gray/white snow and I have to hard reboot so it goes into integrated again. Could anyone help?

I also read that in 11.04 this should work by default if you install the new Cataclyst Linux drivers but I haven't tried that yet because at the moment I do not have the time to do a reinstall.

 

Can someone tell me how to open the Fn+F3 screen from an external keyboard? From processexplorer I found out that lmanager is calling wlanapi.dll but I don't know how to start wlanapi.dll. Should it be rundll32.exe wlanapi.dll?

EDIT: wlanapi.dll is in windows/system32 and is from Microsoft, so I don't think it controls the power of the wireless lan device. Then how can I open Fn+F3?

 

It is not possible, the FN Hotkeys are handled through the EC and this can't access the external keyboard. The EC triggers a command witch it catched trough a LManger service.

You can use the windows functions to deactivate the wlan device or set the necessary bit to disable the wlan card inside the EC ram.

 

Well, I think zsero can try to trigger same command by himself when button on external KB is pressed: just need to find out what command to trigger .

 

Not yet, I'm affraid.
The other option is to overvolt it and permanently overclock but that is proving to be a challenge also!

 

OK, i solved it this way:

Two icons on the desktop:

enable wifi:

disable wifi:

Works perfectly! I searched around my system for a devcon.exe and Virtual Clone Drive had a newer build (from 2008) then the Microsoft one (from 2003), so I'm using that.

Lucikly the device manager disabled wireless uses just as little power as the Fn + F3 disabled one (ok, maybe something like 100-200 mW more).

 

3820TG Custom Fan Profiles mod

I've created 3 one-click Custom Fan Profiles for the 3820TG. They tweak both the CPU and the GPU fan!

There is so much more potential in the 3820TG cooling system, if you want to see how much you can OC your computer I'd advice you to try the gaming profile!

Just download the archive, and start one of the bat files:
profile_gaming.bat
profile_balanced.bat
profile_quiet.bat

Caution: it flashes the KBC, so I strongly advice you to only run it with connected AC adapter and with no hardware related program running in the background. I have not tested it with 3820TGtray, but I would advice you to exit from it before you'd flash the profiles.

After flashing the fans should go to 100% for a few seconds, then go back to normal. Thats perfectly normal. Once you found the profile you like, I'd advice you to restart your computer. On my computer, after the flashing the restart is required to fix the Fn + F3 key!

If you feel tweaking the profiles, I'll write later about which values to change and how to calculate the checksum bit.

download link: download - filecloud.io

Appendix A: if you are interested in the values, or how is it working, just look in the archive. Everything is just pure .bat files.

Appendix B: if you want to revert to the stock profile, start flash_original.bat

 

What would you do if you wanted to revert to the default fan profiles?

 

Good point, I modified the post (and uploaded a new archive)!

 

Thanks, will download and try!

 

just question is the quite fan version prolong the battery life ?

 

I don't think the fan uses that much power that it would make a difference. But in theory its possible.

 

Note that both these tutorials will not work in 3820tg. It allows you to undervolt it but any volt above 1.0v will make ATI crash during boot up.

with help from kizwan and lee_what2004, i managed to overvolt the 3820tg's 5650 to 1.05v. i had no luck getting better OC even after i overvolt it, may be your guys will have better luck.

Based on tutorial from inteks

OVERCLOCK ATI VBIOS EDIT

!!! TRY AT YOUR ON RISK !!!

1. open PhoenixTool.exe
2. open Winflash64\JM31119.exe
3. click Advanced and add check "Allow user to modify other modules" and "No SLIC" in the lower right box
4. click go
5. a messagebox apear "You can now make manual alterations to any module in the DUMP directory" dont click ok.

6. Inside the DUMP folder, swap the file name of OPROM01.ROM and OPROM02.ROM
7. Hex edit OPROM01.ROM, search for hex "02 10 c1 68 00 00 18 00 00 00 00 03 78". Change it to "02 10 c1 68 00 00 18 00 00 00 00 03 77"
8. Hex edit OPROM02.ROM, search for hex "02 10 c1 68 00 00 18 00 00 00 00 03 77". Change it to "02 10 c1 68 00 00 18 00 00 00 00 03 78"
9. Back to PheonixTool, click OK to generate JM31119_SLIC.exe
10. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CRISIS USB to recover your BIOS before you continue.
11. Run the JM31119_SLIC.exe to flash your BIOS.
12. Reboot into Discrete Mode to enjoy your 0.05volt...

JM31119_SLIC(6550).exe

 

So this breaks switchable graphics then?

 

ya, for unknown reason, Switchable no longer works... so, to switch to IGP, you must use the hidden Intel menu to disable ATI. alternatively, run the original JM31119.exe to flash it back...

 

Have you tried disabling the ATI controller in Device Manager? That is how I was manually able to switch back to the IGP on a DV4-2000 (Intel HD + HD4550).

 

maybe someone else is interested too

on my search for compressed/scaled higher resolution on my 3820 screen i found a way to use at least a higher frequency (85Hz) on the ATI

for gaming with vsync on it gives you a few frames more

install atached monitordriver . . .

 

Have you tried it?
