Notebook upgrade issues and special care for use.

More and more upgrade questions, I think it is necessary to have a dedicated thread about this to avoid repeatedly Q&A.

I want to give some reminders first.

If you have more issues, please post and discuss.

Bluetooth:
No matter what model you want to add BT in, let's forget about how much pain to put it in first, the bigger pain is when service needed, for example A8Jm, theoritically you can send it to Asus for service, but I don't think Asus wants to promise Asus won't forget switching the BT module to the new mainboard, that means better way is to send back to dealers first, let dealers take out the BT, and put back in when it is back from Asus, for dealers, that means altogether 3 times disassemble and extra shipping cost, I think you guys see $80 or more charge for install BT and feel too expensive, in my point of view, even you want to pay $100, dealers still prefer not doing it.

The same case applied to all models, also I doubt if dealers can arrange the antenna wire as nice as the manufactuers, in my opinion, BT upgrade is not recommended.

7200rpm HD
It is faster and highr tempreture for sure, but if you are that kind of person concerns and monitors the HD and other tempeture all the time, don't upgrade it. It might affect your quality of sleep.

Some customers called Asus and HD manufacturers for temperatures and told me Asus said they never test HD under 7200rpm and don't promise anything,
and HD mamufactures said 7200rpm is not recommended for slim notebooks and xx degree is not safe for the HD, I haven't seen any notebook HDs died from heat and come back to me yet, but some customers really worry about this, if you are like this, take my words as a reminder and don't do it to avoid further trouble.

different slots for wireless card
2915 and 3945 wireless cards use different slots, cannot exchange, the other day I saw a customer ordered a Atheron card from eBay and came to me to upgrade 3945 card in his A7J, he just lost his money because of the slot difference.

Heat and clean up
More and more heat for current fast notebboks/laptops, better use them on hard surface, if on your lap, don't block the bottom vent for long time.
Also clean up in every couple of months, a good exmple is Justin's melt Z70Va thread.( who can tell me where it is? I will add the link here )

I will add more discuss here later.
