guys, did u notice when this zenbook ux303ln booting from restart it takes more time rather than turn it on from completely shut down. i m counting it from logo asus appear till get to windows. anyone?
-
Windows 8 reacts differently when it is shut down compared to restart.
The Shutdown option in Windows 8 is not a complete shutdown, but allows for a fast boot/Hybrid shutdown process.
This can be verified by reviewing Up time (under Task Manager>Performance Tab), it will continue as if the unit was never shut down.
A restart will reset this back to zero.
A restart is what is performed when updates are downloaded etc. I would periodically restart when the unit gets buggy or slow to respond. -
Just had my Hinge/LCD Panel replaced under warranty! Repaired in 2 days of shipment! Gotta love ASUS North America Support!
Fresh plastic wrapped LID on laptop arrived today
Feels as tight as a Macbook Pro!

Any idea when the broadwell version (link few pages earlier, German website) will be available? Is there any 900 series gpu upgrade planned?
-
Does anybody use a temperature meter to keep an eye on how hot the notebook is? Could you please suggest a good one (maybe something with a tray icon...)? Thank!

There is an RC7 version in the forum that should work (I will try it when I get home from work tonight). -

The RC7 version of coretemp works just fine. Tried yesterday.

Hello. I bought my new ultrabook this morning and it's wonderful ultrabook, but when i tried to connect to my WiFi router(TP-Link TL-WR740N), I couldn't do this and after all the devices, which was connected to router by WiFi, also didn't have an acces to Internet. I managed to solve problem by restartind WiFi router. However all was going on in a same way. Thanks for support.

I have the UX303LN-R4140H and I need to change the SSD drive.
What units will fit?
From what I read a standard 2.5" 7mm will fit.
I'm thinking of buying the Samsung EVO 850 500GB. -
That will fit !

For the battery tips, you can find the informations on page 162, 163 and so on, of this thread. -
Hello Everyone,
Became a proud owner (now not so much) of a US edition ux303ln this past weekend.
Have been watching this forum from the time I first started to look for an ultrabook and was overjoyed when the fix for the yellow/mustard issue was posted. Soon as the fix came out I knew I had to get it. Was hoping to add to this thread with a review about my first happy days with it. But as my luck turns out I am writing cause I need help having used it less than a single charge. Issue: It wont turn on at all :cry:, the led on the power button as well as the capslock button remain on. Is this the case when the battery is too low for it to switch on?
Backing up a little I was flying out of the US (was there for a conference) via JFK so I had my friend in NJ pick one up for me and it worked great at his place. Flew back to India and it was working fine all of this evening. (I hadn't connected the charger yet). I drained the battery and waited for windows to give the 7% message (so I could connect the charger and safely apply the yellow fix as well as give it its first full battery power charge cycle). Just before I could connect the charger the screen shutoff. I connected the US power adapter to the international converter I have and the charging led (orange color) came on. Then I pressed the power button to power it up again and the ultrabook will not start.
Tried disconnecting the power cord and trying to switch it on but after 10 seconds of pressing the power button the capslock light goes off and then eventually the power LED too but comes on a sec after I release the power button. Have tried holding down the power button for over 2 mins and then trying to switch it back on, but after a second or so of seeing the power led go out on the key and releasing the power button the LEDs come on again. I can't hear any sound from the machine though not a fan or anything. I have a sneaky suspicion that it could be the AC power adapter. Tried to to see if I can smell anything burnt in it. But its pretty sealed up.
I am truly crestfallenhaving waited over 4 months to get my hands on it, I just hope I haven't bricked the ultrabook. It could be the AC power which I will try to use another at the office tomorrow. I really appreciate all the great responses and help you all have provided here and hope you can help me as well. @any one from ASUS on here - Please let me know what is the procedure in Bangalore to get it fixed if I have bricked it or if I need to replace the AC power adapter.
Sorry for the long winded post wanted to put in as much info as I can. Thanks in advance for your help.Last edited: Jan 19, 2015 -
I'd give it a couple of hours to recharge before trying to turn on. It probably immediately goes back to off because battery charge level is still critical.
-
Finally gave in and have dropped it at a Asus service center. The technician there said it was either a display or a motherboard issue, since the laptop is charging and powering on. He has lodged the ticket as "No Display"
They will diagnose the issue (I'll have to call them to find out what was wrong tomorrow) and replace what is needed. Turnaround time 4 to 5 working days best case and upto 45 working days worst case (if the part is not available in India.) Fingers crossed it comes back working as it should have in the first place. Luckily I wasn't able to install the yellow fix else that would've voided the warranty. Phew! -
fayth;
I had the same problem. It did not like a MBR disk to install. Cried Uncle! Forced me to FORMAT and continue with GPT install.
I installed on a 128GB half height in the spare socket. Tired of fighting and just letting MS win. -

I am close to buying the Asus UX303LN-DB71T (the US model with i7-QHD-Nvidia GT 840M-12GB RAM) and would like to install a Samsung SSD 850 Pro 1 TB (or similar 1 TB SSD) to replace the stock 256 SSD. Is that possible? (The techs at B&H were uncertain as to whether it would be compatible.) If it is possible, will this void the warranty? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
-
It is compatible. I have one working in mine. Cannot tell for sure about warranty. However, one should be allowed to open laptop without voiding warranty to access RAM and mSATA slots. And once it is open nothing stops you from replacing main drive. If you want to send laptop in for warranty service though, make sure to put it back to original configuration. That is my personal opinion.
-
Thanks very much for your quick reply! Just to be clear, your computer is the US version of the UX303LN, right? Thanks again.
-
Yes, it US version of UX303LN.
I posted a couple of times in this thread about my experiments with replacing main drive. Note that I installed retail Windows 8.1 on 1TB drive from scratch. Other people suggested ways to migrate OEM Windows that came on preinstalled drive. I keep the removed original 256GB drive so that I can quickly pop it back in if necessary. -

Thanks, everyone. I used a USB with win 8.1 pro. I let it do it's thing and it created multiple partitions. installed. Put in the WIN 8.1 key and it was happy.

Yes it will create a few partitions for housekeeping reasons

I've been watching this thread for a while and also keeping an eye out for 303ln models in the U.S. and elsewhere to find the best version of this unique little laptop. After watching the German 1080p version of the LN sell out before the new year, my heart dropped a bit. BUT, today there are 2 new versions available with Broadwell processors. They both use the new i5 5200U (mislabeled i5 5500...but could be a typo for i7 5500U) and have 12gb/8gb respectively and the gt840m and 256gb ssd.
i don't think i can live with the yellow issues of the U.S. LN, but this really opens things up for all those who haven't purchased one of these yet...and who, like me, are dying to buy one asap.

@Anyone from India - Have you guys tried adding a larger SSD to it at the service center - since it is anyway in the shop was wondering if that was an option? -
here is a nice review of this product -> https://translate.google.com/transl...robabil-ultrabook-ul-anului-review&edit-text=
(is translated from Romanian the link with google) -
i just can't understand how many versions of this machine they make...and WHY they release the versions they do where they do. Would Americans not want a great gaming ultrabook w/ a nice 1080 screen? -
Meaker@Sager Company Representative
I think asus loom really close at the price they would set and what models may compete with it.
-
guys, i noticed somethings weird on my ux303ln right speaker volume output is louder than the left side, is that normal ?
-
Meaker@Sager Company Representative
Do you have a slider to adjust left/right balance in your audio settings?
-
Anyone got a problem with the backlit keyboard?
I installed a samsung 850 evo 500gb (a few days ago) and installed a fresh copy of win8.1 (not cloning that will say) on it. I think I got all the correct drivers from asus homepage but today I got a problem with the keyboard. The backlightning only works on max brightness. If I lower it it starts to blink/flicker.
Solution? -
Can you still scroll up/down with the trackpad when uninstalling Asus Smart Gesture? (without 2 fingers of course)
If yes i will uninstall for sure, but if not well I dont think i can use the laptop without the ability to scroll with the trackpad -
Looks like Broadwell UX303LNs have started shipping. It is already available in Belgium

Interesting... It would be nice from the first owners of broadwell based ux303ln to make a mini review of what it brings, especially about temps and extra battery life
