    Ok I've just received my laptop back from repair. It had a new mainboard, that was all.

    Now the backslash key and the hash key both make high pitched beeps when i press them, anyone know what might cause this as I really do not want to send it back again.

    Also when I turn my laptop on the NumLk activates itself so I have to turn that off everytime too!! Whats going on??

    Please help, my laptop has been back for repair twice in the last 4 months and each time i lose it for 3-4 weeks and I really don't want to send it back!!!

    Ok have spoken to Asus and they tell me it is a BIOS Problem and that I need to update the BIOS. Does anyone know where I can get a newer version than 300 as the support team has forgotten to send me the link as they were supposed to!!

    They're probably quickly coding a new BIOS for us as we speak ;-)

    ah, my alarmclock just woke me up... too good to be true.

    Does Asus have drivers for the keyboard? It's like it is a foreign keyboard and those buttons have no use but its all set to the right region!
