hi m8 do you know if the heat sink for the 480m and the 485m is the same ??

 

As you receive more rep, you gain rep power. What you see under your avatar is your rep power. That is how many points you give someone when you rep them.

You gain rep power by posting alot and by getting rep'd by other members. I forgot the specifics of it. I know that I get additional rep power every 250 posts I do and I think every 100 rep points I receive. It is something like that

 

Torment - Will ya give me a rep point if I post a link? :laugh:

Spoiler

Reputation Points/Power, User Titles

 

ok thanks m8
i was just woundering since i had a list with green dot on with reped post and i was thinking some thing was wrong since it sayed 1 on my post dident know about the point system .
since a lot of the other sites im on some one gives u a thums up and the number goes up thanks for you answer learned somting new

 

im not alowed to give you one since the last one i gave was to you

 

It basically goes like this:

You gotta make the posts first. Then when you get the reps, you get the power. Then when you get the power, you get the women

I just got my x7200 back! So happy. I've reinstalled everything, but have been out of it for a while... what is everyone using for drivers on 485m now? Are the ones up on nV the most recent?

 

Then new Nvidia ones work they have added the 485m so no modding needed.
and for sound its the 2.60

modded bios from kizwan
http://forum.notebookreview.com/7177417-post1684.html

 

There is no need to use that modded BIOS, the current one works fine, yea that modded one has some more options turned on.....but I would not go near it, just my opinion

 

ihave it now and it work perfect the only dif is that you can do all over clock straight in bios with out any software both for cpu and ram

 

Bigges problem I have with it, as compared to my AW BIOS, is that in the AW BIOS you have presets, that have been tested and approved as viable OC settings, in that BIOS its all a guessing game, what may/may not work, what will hurt your hardware what wont.

In my AW BIOS if I use the built in OC settings and it fscks up something, I make a phone call and they fix it, their dime, in that one, I fsck up something I am screwed.

On a diff note, I am still planning on ordering the WD Scorpio black, 750GB for my system, just havent got around to it yet.

 

hello ... neeeed help asap plzzz, i started my sager today n started browsing fir some minutes then suddenly the pc freezes i forced a shutdown but now evetytime i try to start it , it would just turn on like 5 sec n then shutd down alone then starts up by itself n shuts back in 5 sec i dnt get it, it waz working perfectly good :s i opened it n swapped the rams no change i removed the harddrive n still no change ... can some1 help or advice me wat to do i live very far n i cant send it to sager without paying 600 u.s shipping , if there is anythin i can still try plz advice thanks

 

Try reseating the RAM and CPU. Remove the CMOS battery and reinsert.

 

you not using sager bios in yours ??
the org bios from sager what i have seen dont have any oc settings what i know of

 

Before you go that far try starting it with all usb devices removed including the mouse. Mine will do that if I have my hub connected when I start it. If this fails can you get into the bios?

 

the new mobo does have express card slot i got one its in the front left grill
but i had to send it back cause ti kept freezing up
got it from m-tech

 

so if i was to guess thats the prob with the new mobo it locks up at random

 

These new revised Sager NP7280's will begin shipping today again!
_

 

Then I assume NDA is over on new motherboard revisions, what changed?!

 

What we know at this point is this is a NEW D04 version of the motherboard, the one before is the D03. Where the dummy slot port for the HDMI IN was there is now a Express card 34 slot.

Also the bottom and the top case are also different due to the locations of the port changed on the new D04 motherboard. That's all I have at this point.

ExpressCard34...not the wider one...that is a crying shame

 

i opened it swapped memory stck no use tried swapping hard drives no use i took out the small battery on
the mothwrboard for 5 hours n still no use , this ia very frustrating please some1 help me out i just got it 5 month back , is there a way tp reset it in other ways ? i took out all the usb connected also no use , i read stuff about holding win+b so it shows error no use tried a lot of things :s n no its doesnt allow me to enter bios or anythin tried f2 , f 10 , f8 all of them ,,,, if i turn it on it just starts 3-4 sec then shuts down n starts byitswlf n keeps doin so forever if i dnt stop it ... any help or advice will be veryyyyy appreciated

 

Do you get any post and if so what?

 

stupid question but have you started without the battery?

 

yes i tried that couple of minutes back no use , verrry strange issue a problem out of nothing and no1 here seems to be able to slove it , the only way i see is sending it back n pay 1200 dollars just shippin to sager n back again ........

 

does anyone knows how to reset the mobo directly without taking out battery read about some pins i need tp press , if any1 knows plz help also if u know wat mobo sager 7280 has also post i can try n get manual for it, thanks all

 

You could try the service manual. There may be other languages, but I only found the English version. (See link found in sig for Drivers / BIOS)

 

If you send it back to Sager do you get the new mobo?

 

@ wwoods (and anyone else considering Seagate Momentus XT Hybrids in RAID 0 or RAID 5).

Not what I was hoping for, but I received this message from AlanM (forum tech support) at Seagate:

My suggestion is that if you use RAID 0 or RAID 5 with Seagate Momentus XT drives on an Intel ICH10 controller, do so at your own risk.

 

Below is the slightly changed front of the new NP7280...

The NEW one...



The OLDER one...

 

The front was a bad place for it

 

Finally my laptop came back from MySn service. It seems there was a problem with the mainboard and LCD cable. It works just fine now.

However, i hope you guys can help me with the following problem.

We all know that x7200 has built in bluetooth 2.1 + edr.
However when i install the bluetooth driver from the provided CD, and run the shortcut created on the desktop, and with the bluetooth on, i get a windows with a red bar saying bluetoth dongle not supported.

And you would think the proided drivers should work.

Anyone encountered similar problems ? Can anyone help ?

 

Trust me, you dont wanna use the XT in a raid5......search on my posts for some history about that setup...BAD idea....been there done that it sucked, I replaced em.

And to further bolster that, XoticPC is reccomending that Raid5 and XT's arent used together

jclausius is right, if you do, you do so at your own risk.

 

Another look at the front of the new NP7282.

 

Looks hideous and inconvenient

Shame they could not do better. Ports on the front are always a fail as they get in the way and break easily (HATED the front facing tray DVD drive on my OCZ Whitebook)

Hi this is a question for the retailers
i took my cpu heat sink out to day to test some difrent paste to day i realised that there is a very low connection wia the copper plate and the cpu like none actualy and a giant amount of paste is needed to connect them i even had to use a razor blade to take the old paste of and when put on the new paste i did like you are suppose to like a rise dot in the center 3mm long an 2 mm thick and tested my bby and i was not happy with the temps so i took it apart again just to see i had put on enuf but it had spreed only max 1cm in the center so i cleaned it again dubbled the amount redid every thing and still it was not enuf so i started to look at the copper plate its not even flush with the metall surounding it so here is my question is there a possibilety to puch the copper thru the metall a bit more to get more of a connetion or do i have to live with knowing that i need a layer of paste thick enuf tho use for 3 cpu betven them to get any cooling or use some kind of leaf copper plaiting to build up the copper plate so it will actualy reach the cpu correctly
thanks for your answer

 

Torment, I would look into doing a copper mod - sounds like that would help you here

 

if i put in a very thin copper plate that i first lapp to make shore its flat would i need paste on both sides or whats your recomendation ?

 

yes, both sides, sandwich it in

use minimal paste though, more is less as copper conducts heat much better than the paste does

 

now its just finding a copper plate thats thin enuf to to put in

 

Some times people have extra ones from their own mods, make a WTB thread

 

im of to the basement to have i look crossing my thingers there is some stuff left from the old desktop like the cooler i know it was out of copper

 

yes i found some about 0.2 mm thick and i had meters and meters of it i forgot its from the old door frames just need to cut to wright size and then make it flat of course via lapping then install then done

 

if you have some polish, a good mirror finish would be a good help too

 

what grit size paper would you recomend for mirror finish
i have up to 2500 but it wont give a mirror not even when wet we where lapping my m8 CPU the other day and the 2500 wet would not give the mirror

 

You need actual pollish. Or something like toothpaste is good.

 

dident work with copper i found it was to soft and to many imperfections in it impossible to get it flat it was flexing to mush

Check out my posting on the heat sink. If you get any info on this I would love to hear about it, I am having the same problem. I would like to either build a custom heat sink, or modify this one to correctly contact the cpu. I may order another.

 

Has anyone been having random machine shutdowns with the 266.96 Nvidia driver? Just updated yesterday and have had several random shutdowns already. None have been while I have been using the machine only while it was been sitting inactive for a bit. I have dual 4600m's in my machine if you think that may make a difference. Any advice would be great. If needed I could go back to the driver my machine shipped with but would much rather have a more recent driver.

 

but i apply thermal paste a dot at center, put on heatsink, it spread to a circle very good though
