G50V - Anyone find a use for the OLED display?

Mine died rather suddenly while in transit across Italy. I was pretty careful and I can't imagine why it would have died (and nothing else!)

 

Mine is working fine. Although the weather plugin that pops up by the clock doesn't seem to work anymore. It's just red and won't sync.

 

Yeah, include this plugin it wasn´t a good idea!!!

 

Any idea why it stopped?

 

My LCDHype thing stopped working. It just gives me an Access Violation and doesn't put anything on the OLED. It just shows the Republic of Gamers logo and thats it

I tried uninstalling, erasing, and reinstalling LCDHype, to no avail...

 

You sure you have a basic LCDHype version and then LCDHype update over it ? It also might be a plugin causing this, so advising you to remove all the plugins/drivers and putting them one by one to see which one is causing the problem.

 

Yeah, it never worked properly!
The homepage of the forecast weather it's always changing..... that is because the plugin is always need to be rewrited....

I have this error message a few times.... but rarely occured for me, but maybe could be the plugin of the forecast weather?

 

anybody knows how to completly disable the oled? like disconnecting the cable?

thanks

 

It probably is that easy, but why do you want to disconnect it?

 

I did all that and nothing. Think I'm going to RMA it as my hinges are getting weak and my battery sucks too...

 

cause i dont want at work a laptop with "republic of gamers" on it
and also i dont want a programm running in the backround all the time to change the text.

any ideas which cable?

thanks

 

Hi all, I'm running a G71G and i came across this page/modding while trying to find out how to get my CPU meter to work. Well after doing some installs I got it working but only with Direct Console. I found a simple script someone posted ( forgive me for not remembering who it was by-I'm sure I can find their name if I look) It was in this topic early on in. Anyhow It doesn't use Everest to show CPU. Therefore I cant view CPU. Funny enough though I can view my memory/ram. I tried fiddling with it, but I couldn't figure out how to make the script work properly. I just want the CPU to be controlled by Everest, if anyone can help me figure this problem be great.

[EDIT] I figured out who posted it PC Geek http://forum.notebookreview.com/4328625-post174.html [EDIT]

 

It's easy: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/298453-turn-off-disable-oled-display-g50v-xp.html

 

Check out the megascript 2.0 (in my signature). Load the code in your LCDHype, open the Overclock page and see how variables are read through the everest plugin, then modify your code. I could help you out more but my G1S is not with me currently

 

I cant seem to extract the tutorial to LCDHype/ Scripts. Its under appdata which I cant find with my extract file to browser. Help? And thank you very much Predator for all the hard work youve put into this. Ive had my comp for about three weeks now, so def not very educated as far as this stuff goes. Thank you all.

 

link dead :S can you add ?

 

Is there no one to help ??

 

Maybe his server is down again, be patient. In the meantime you can download previous versions of the megascript, go back few pages and check it out

 

Ok, please forgive my noobness. I would LOVE to get this working. I've tried several times to get the Direct Console working with windows 7 on my G50V and i've had no success. I've seen nothing but "republic of gamers" on my LCD for the past 6 or so months. I've got the LCDHYPE application and the drivers installed and unpacked into the directory. When i open LCD hype i do see the splash screen and it says g50 series driver. When i try to run a script or change the driver, the LCD switches off entirely. I cannot figure out what i'm doing wrong or where to find a configuration tutorial. Anyone help?

 

Duckburg, you need the ATK drivers installed and then try reinstalling directconsole.

Recent thread here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...ant-get-direct-console-2-0-working-g50vt.html

Older thread here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/388422-guide-smooth-windows-7-g50vt.html

 

Ok, here is where i'm at so far. I redownloaded and installed all of the ATK drivers from the Asus site as well as the chipset drivers. I then downloaded directo console 2.0 and i still get the same thing. I open the application and literaly nothing happens. I get no icon in the taskbar or anything. I've tried running as administrator, runing in compatibility mode for Vista etc. The only change i've seen on that thing is the LCDHype splash screen when you open the application. When you try running a script or changing the driver the LCD goes blank. I'm going to take it to work with me today and fiddle with it a bit more. Any more suggestions would be great!

 

My G50Vt is still going strong and especially the "Overclocker" script.

My Wifi goofed up after an overclocking bluescreen and I have reinstalled the drivers to no avail, finally I had to let it sit powerless without battery for a week and then it just worked again at powerup.

Now my problem is that the Wifi script shows 1073MBps and has bars all over the screen just like earlier in the thread. My Wifi is till called "5100" AGN.
Was there ever a fix for this? I'm thinking something was changed after reseting the motherboard, like IRQ or address.
Any ideas?

 

Any of you would happen to have the megascript 3 somewhere i can download ? link are not working anymore from this thread .

 

Here you go :

Thanks alot

 

Ive had this bug ever since installing Win7 maybe its a simple fix someone might know?

Im no longer getting a reading of the CPU usage from the code:

%Assign(CPUusage, %System.CPU(Usage))
%CPUusage()

both are in the body
