just got a u36sd-dh51

hey i just received a u36sd-dh51 and overall i'm pretty happy. i just have a few questions. i am looking to replace the hard drive to a ssd and the wifi card to a intel one. does asus's bios have a whitelist that only restricts the computer to using certain wifi cards? or can i just get any one on ebay and put it in no problem.
also is there anyway to enable two finger scrolling on the laptop?

thanks

 

bump.. i think i've found the answer to my wifi question and that only lenovo and HP uses whitelist for their bios and that i should be able to use any card besides those restricted to lenovo and HP. would it make a difference if i get the 6200 or the 6205?

i still can't get 2 finger scrolling functionality even with the most recent drivers though

 

use the google drivers The synaptics drivers are such a POS. I have been using the google driver for my touchpad and its been working great. you can find it here:

Downloads - two-finger-scroll - Two finger gestures for Synaptics TouchPads on Windows - Google Project Hosting

make sure you have the synpatics driver installed but disable two finger scrolling in the synaptics menu. Let the google driver handle the two finger scrolling.

 

thanks but the thing is i don't even have the 2 finger scrolling option in the menu.

 

you have to update the drivers manually. First download the one directly from synaptics here:

Drivers | Synaptics

uninstall current drivers and install the ones that were downloaded. Lastly install the google drivers.

 

oh so we don't use the latest drivers from asus but rather from synaptics? i'll give it a try. thanks
