My C90s is here! (And a wireless problem)

My C90 arrived yesterday! (Ordered from GenTech computers on July 13th, shipped August 9th, arrived via UPS ground from CA to Seattle on August 14th.)

Let me tell you, it was worth the wait. It is a beautiful machine! I installed Vista Ultimate (32bit), all the drivers, Office, etc. Didn't have any crashes at all.

The only problem I have run into (and that I hope I can get some help with) is that when I unplug the power cord, I lose wireless connection and they only want to get it enabled and connected again is to restart the computer.

Has anyone else had this problem? Know any fixes? I tried to search for this, but didn't see this specific problem, sorry if this is a repeat!

 

weird problem, try pressing Function+F2 and seeing if it comes back that way?

 

Can you tell me if your cam doesn't display properly? mine acts thermal-ish

 

I believe someone did have that issue, but it was mentioned early on. May have been in the Alex review or the Owner's lounge. Don't remember a resolution.

Most of my issues were resolved with a reinstall of the drivers off the ASUS CD or updates mentioned in the forum.

I started that process when I had difficulty with my wireless card and camera.

Bought mine from Cyberpowerpc.com. It was configured complete with components and OS as I had spec'ed but was loaded with generic Windows drivers. For me this was not a issue, I'm happy, 6 days from date of order to delivery.

 

I haven't had any problems with the cam. You sure you don't have one of the filters turned on?

 

I suppose I could try reinstalling the wireless driver... no idea if that will help, but worth a try.

Pretty nice to have that quick turn around!

 

Yeah, it is a weird problem! I have tried that and nothing. After this happen and I look at the adapters it says it is disabled, when I tell it to enable it, it goes through the motions and tells me it is turned on... but then the adapter still says disabled...

 

same thing happened to my Bluetooth device just before i reinstalled vista and newest driver i could find (intel for the wireless, laptopvideo for the gpu and asus member site for the rest)

 

I really really hope that I have no problems. But thankfully, I have all of you wonderful people to help if I do.

 

I havent had this issue and I've unplugged & moved my laptop across the house while downloading.
Are you using the latest drivers from Intel?

 

Try this driver:

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/13001/eng/V11.1.1.0_VT_DRIVERS.ZIP

Unzip and run DPInst32.EXE, see if that works.

 

Yep. 11.1.1.11/9.1.1.15

 

Thanks Ken, I will get that a shot. (I think that is what I have though.)

 

Try go to Device Manager>Network Adapters and click on Wifi Link 4965 AGN, and then click on "Power Management" tab to uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power":



That should take care the problem.

 

Beat me too it Ken!

Its pretty obvious that its a power save issue since it happens when you pull the power cord out. I was going to suggjest going thru your advanced power save options in the control panel, but looks like going thru the device manager may work just as well or even better like Ken has suggjested.

 

Hi!

I have a C90S with exactly the same problem. I've changed the power management settings but it didn't solve it.
Any suggestions?

 

Asus bought out 2 c90s's, 1 worked 1 did not... When i got my asus c90s i purchased 2, 1 to sell 1 to keep. I did this cause i live in Australia, and we will never see them here on our shelves..

Anyway, 1 of em worked and 1, had 99% of the problems described in all forums, ie. no battery bootup, wireless problems, overclocking wouldnt work, overheating issues and so on and son on.

Lucky for me i sold the bodgy one

 

Yeah and very unlucky to the unknowing person who bought it from you..
