    Hey guys,
    first i'd just like to say its a miracle! a while ago i posted that i spilt some coffee on my laptop. Many of you told me i was most likely done. Somehow, someway... IT WORKS. :)

    However, i noticed a couple problems (which existed before this incident).
    1. Sometimes when i leave it on and it goes on sleep, i come back to find that it had previously froze and restarted. then the normal "check windows for solution" thing pops up
    2. at random times, the sound of the "connecting device" is heard. (i think i read about someone else having this problem too.. i could be wrong)

    I just wanted to know if any of you have ever had this problem before? or know any solution too it? could the first one just be a windows problems?

    I never have these problems. But I don't the POS version of Windows Vista that comes with the laptop. I formatted and did a clean install! You'll feel a HUGE difference dude! follow the guides posted here. it's easy if u read well and follow the instructions.

    I don't have the first problem but i do hear the sound of a disconnecting device quite often when nothing has been disconnected. I don't know what it is and it doesn't bother me very much at all.

    I don't have first problem, but the second problem is same as mine. I also figured out the sound of disconnect and reconnect is from Fingerprint USB controller. I noticed the fingerprint icon in system tray changes its color (to grey that means there is no fingerprint device) back and forth along with the sound.
    It's my old SZ74B/B.

    hmm alrite, it seems like the disconnect/reconnect device noise is common... but no one else having the first problem??

    is there anyway of stoppign the disconnect/reconnect noise? i mean i dont really mind but if theres a way then i''ll opt not to have it.
