    Yeah, it is ok, the name of the SATA controller is different for series 5 and series 6 chipsets as well as for desktop and laptop chipsets. The important thing is that you update the Intel AHCI controller's drivers.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm wondering if anyone else having this problem with power4gear hybrid in which the brightness setting cant be saved and the "turn off display after ... min" no longer works.
    I reinstalled to the latest version 1.1.50 but that doesnt seem to solve the problem.
    p.s. turn off display feature works fine without P4G. but with P4G it only works on windows lock screen.
    G53SW-XN1

    Thanks for looking

    That wouldn't happen to be Lannigan would it?
    I just happen to be looking for his post about a bios mod when I saw this.
    Wouldn't happen to have a link to his thread would you?

    After reinstalling my fans dont work, dont move at all. They worked fine before reinstalling so doubt there is problem with to much dust.
    Any one got a tip besides taking it apart and clean the fans?

    Hey, just something you might wanna look at. You mention that the G53 has the Azurewave NB037, while mine has an Atheros AR9002WB, which is also a G53. I did some searching and ended up finding drivers on a czech website.

    1. Hotfixes

    First things first, on the G73SW driver CD there were six recommended Microsoft Hotfixes for Win7 x64. They are uploaded here:
    Hotfixes
    Install them one by one. After installing them all, reboot. (No need to reboot after each hotfix.)

    Is it good for G53SW too?

    Which is the latest stable video driver for the g53sw? I'm currently using 306.23 and i'm experiencing a lot of glitches with games (FIFA 13 for one). I've had these issues with most of the recent ones. Anyone else having the same problems?

    I play NFS World, EuroTruck and GTA:IV and haven't had issues with 306.23, however, 306.97 are available as of 2 weeks ago.

    WARNING FOR WINDOWS 8:
    DO NOT install the Intel Chipset drivers. It causes ... some sort of issue, what prevents Windows for starting.
    I installed Win8 three times last night, before realizing that... :S

    Also, another problem I've been having, is Synaptics drivers preventing starting of Windows.
    I use an external mouse/keyboard 99% of the time, so I should be ok. I hope.

    Hi! Seems, that its a bug in some updates, which prevents from normal booting. Chipset drivers working fine before updates. After updates, device starts TOO long.
