*Official ASUS W90Vp Owners' Lounge*

i agree my hands also get insanely grimey and i cant stand the slick plastic. it just tends to transfer to the surface 1 scratching it up and 2 making it feal wierd.

 

NEW W90 on its way to me RIGHT NOW!! Be here tomorrow... cant wait!!

 

Also... I completely removed the foam and "void" sticker from the processor heatsink purposely to see what would happen, and they still replaced everything.

ASUS is the way to go.

 

EH? who did you order from?

 

OH REALLY???

 

I dont think there even opening the machines that have problems there just replacing them . Probably just checking for contents of the package and then they OK for replacement .

 

Nah. One time deal. Cant do it again.
My logic was... Its brand new, lets see how much of a hassle they will give me. I had a drop-net if something went wrong.

RMA'd my old one because of the flickering and a little distortion in the top left corner of the display, and knew they would give me a new one, just had to wait to RMA it when the replacements were available. If they gave me trouble I knew how to wiggle my way out of it.

They checked it alright... and called me to let me know that the system was tampered with and that they were sending me a BRAND NEW one.

 

Why would they do that if they know you tampered with it ?. Or did you say it was not you who did the tampering ?.

 

"It seems the unit was tampered with, prior to delivery to you. Instead of repairing the unit, we will issue a Brand new Unit to you..."

I could barely understand the rest of the voicemail as it was broken english. This must have been the note the tech left about it.

So apparently, someone tampered with my W90.

 

I dont know what you are talking about.

 

Yeah, I specifically asked to be notified when the laptop was ready and what the cause of the issues were... I was calling almost everyday since they received it, so I guess they just wanted me to leave them alone.

 

Sorry sir.

 

Curios as to what was the point of removing the Sticker and sponge ? they would have replaced your unit because of the screen just like they had mine . I had distortion as well , wavy lines on the left hand side of the panel and it was causing me massive eyestrain .

 

i was ballparkin' it..

man, i wish i had a job so i could afford the qx9300. lol. i wanna play fallout3 on ultra settings... VICIOUS, did you try fallout 3 with your w90 before you RMA'd it?

 

you should change your sig to "god loves me." haha, you should've said that whoever tampered with your w90 replaced your qx9300 with a q9000... haha.

 

Lol you can play Fallout 3 on ultra settings no problem .Get Setfsb and crank that betty up to 2.7ghz and youll be fine.


I wish i could afford a W90 period , i miss mine alot already and is actually making me not want to come around here anymore as it just makes me think about it more then i care to . Nothing in the future is looking like ill be able to afford another so at this point i need to quit aggravating myself by hanging here .

 

Who did you order from??

 

It is a replacement from Asus directly, from an RMA .

 

In all honesty, I had a T9800 that I had put in there at first, and had no problem with removing the void sticker to get it in there. When it was time to RMA the thing, I noticed the the adhesive for the void sticker on the foam wore off. When I was removing the void sticker to put the Q9000 back, part of the sticker on the screw end broke. So I removed the whole sticker and was going to strategicly replace it, but decided, not to and just removed the foam as well to see what they would say to me. I kinda knew they werent going to make a big stink about it considering it was only a few days old and the day I got it, I was on the phone with tech support about the display issues.

Call me crazy, but I just wanted to put their customer service/loyalty to the test.

Anyway... my test was passed and I shall stick with ASUS in the future. (As if i were going anywhere else)

 

If it bothers you then take a break from this thread sir, we still know where and how to get a hold of your expertise shall we need it, just better not causing yourself undo grief. Ive had to sell some prized possessions in the past and i know how it is

Kimdoo, you'll be playing on ultra settings so i wouldn't fret to much more about it.

 

so basically you took an unneccasry risk that could've resulted in them voiding your warranty? nice...

 

Ok then Crazy shall be your new name , you may need to message a moderator for that name change but i think its more fitting for you.

 

I like living dangerously.

 

yeah, i just get concerned about that kinda stuff because i got screwed over on my last laptop. everyone talked about how great it was, and i got it home and realized the video card was ****. it could barely even play tribes, let alone tribes 2... haha. so that is why i always seem concerned with max settings... on that note, i'm hoping that i'll be able to run COD:MW2 on max settings with the w90.

i probably will upgrade to the qx9300, anyways, when i find a job.

 

lol, i wonder how differently your posts could've went...

"MAN TIHS IIS BS, ASUS VOIDED MUH WARRANTEYZ BECUZ I ACCIDENTLY RIPPED THE STICKA!!! SCREW ASUS... CAN YOU GUYS BELIEVE THAT????
"

 

Yes your right my friend thats exactly what i shall do . ive been somewhat anxious for Striker to get his machine to see how everything went but i can just check back from time to time. Sometimes in life you just have to let things go that are most precious to you , im sure many of us have been down that path before , some more then others .

 

LOL!!! that is an I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGUR quote!!!

 

HAHA thats funny

 

LOL... that doesnt sound like me at all!!!

If they decided to void my warranty, I woulda sucked it up. I take my shots. Although, my persuasion skills are pretty impressive, so I dont think it would have come down to that anyway.

 

lol. i'm just sayin' man, you got super lucky.. companies usually try to back out of their warranties any way they can.

haha, i remember once when i bought my DS light from best buy... i opened it and the hinge was cracked. i tried returning it to best buy and they gave me such a hard t ime about it, they even accused me of dropping it (which WOULD have voided my warranty.) luckily, a manager came around and knew about the issues with the hinges cracking and replaced it instantly.

 

Trust me, I know I am lucky. And I have had many similar situations as yours. But "Worst Purchase" (bestbuy) is quick to try to void a warranty... and they suck. Period.

I had bought a TV from them that wouldnt fit into my car in the box, so I took it out of the box to put it in the car only to find out that the base was cracked, and the remote was missing. They tried to say that they would not refund me because they thought I dropped it when taking it out of the box... but they didnt realize that THEIR associate did all they work and the TV never touched the ground. After two managers and 1.5 hours I was able to get my refund. Never again.

Asus is top notch... and when I put them to the test, they passed... SUMMA CUME LAUDE

 

is it possible to "hook up" the bluetooth in the wireless card with a 3g phone to get internet access?

 

Depends on the phone, but its possible.

 

haha. yeah, i saw best buy drop a tv when loading it into a customer's car... it was so funny, because i heard the customer's concern - "will it be ok?" and the best buy guy said "uh... yeah!" haha..

on a similar note, i have a funny story about sam's club. when i was working at wal-mart, like 3 years ago, there was a sam's club right across the street... well, during the day our store got news of a robbery in progress at sam's club. some genius reversed his pick-up truck into the entrance of sam's club, jumped out, tried to lift a plasma tv into his car (BY HIMSELF), realized he couldn't do it, ran back to his truck and tried to drive away... but guess what? his car was STUCK. haha.

 

the g1 by google..

i am thinking about getting the nokia n97 when it comes out, but i had so much trouble with the n95... the screen broke twice, the frame scratched easily, and the gps system wasn't that great...

 

we were bonding over our best buy horror stories. lol.

and i think this is just your way to see 2 guys kiss. haha.

 

I did with my last sager using my diamond (unlocked smartphone) but haven't tried it with this one since it was noticeably faster going usb. Not sure if or how it would be done with a normal phone. With the htc they have an internet sharing applet hit that, tell it to connect and thats it. On HSPDA the connection was about as fast as the DSL I used to have. On edge its best described as "works" and thats about it. I have had this one hooked up via usb when my cable went out. Worked fine doing that.

 

the g1 phone is an htc phone, but i haven't seen an internet sharing applet... perhaps it is on the google market, or something... but i don't think i would be using it that much, but it'd be a nice option.. ya know? i know i could do it via usb, but that is just another wire.. ugh. i hate wires.

lol. your like stewie on family guy after he watches 2 girls 1 cup. "that'd be even more gross with two guys.. do you think they have that? like, where would you even find that? i'll try typing it in." haha. i like how you suggested a room... are you living out your darkest fantasies through orion and i? i think so!!!

You don't know who Stewie Griffin is?!?!!?
What planet are YOU from?!!?



FTR - No bickering between us. Everyone has their opinions and ways of going about things... I just go about things a$$ backwards, and kimdoocheol just happened to speak on it.

edit: no homo in the above statement... lol

 

thanks! so i can connect for internet, but not transfer files via bluetooth?

and my comments to orion had no harsh intent, or criticism.. i was just messin' around.

so orion, when is your w90 supposed to arrive? i'm guessing if they are shipping out your unit soon, it is almost certain that there will not be a futher delay with gentech or xotic.

 

Actually, the other way around.

 

dangit. i thought if i said it wrong, it'd make it right. haha, just kiddin'.. the "transfer content" threw me off.. but now that i think about it, when you transfer files via bluetooth it does say 'devices paired'...

the point of this rant?
tmobile sucks, both in the uk and the states.

 

yeah, and some people find bird watching interesting.

 

yeah we are off topic

 

plus rep for orion! i would have and have done the same thing..just to prove a point. and with all the w90 issues they we're having...yeah right on NOT accepting it.

people are bad flashing cards and they are still rma'n them. so asus is not as touchy as poeple would like the rest of the world to think.

 

lol, you were too until you edited your post.

MYTHBUSTED.

 

sorry dude, but im optimistic and i look at all sides of the story and not the 1 way vision you seem to project. nothing personal.

we under stand you input on warranty and that's find and dandy, but i have rma'd quite a bit more stuff than you have. and just because you think that way, doesn't mean the rest of the world does. end of story!.

 

Woo Hoo! Got the laptop back from Ken today. Qx9300 is SMOKING fast.
Blew through 3dMark Vantage and even beat my desktop score. Nice!

I also received some 4gb chips today. Has anybody installed ram themselves? A search for a W90Vp ram installation guide turned up nothing.

I did take out the battery, and removed two screws on the bottom (one just to the right of the subwoofer and the one parallel to it on the other side). Does that panel come off at this point? I didn't want to try to force it. Page 49 of the user manual isn't very useful.

Anyway I'd appreciate any tips.

Thanks
