Check to make sure that you have the Samsung Battery Life Extender set to Normal Battery Mode if you want it to charge up to 100%. With battery extender activated it will only charge the battery to 80% to conserve the life of the battery.

Question

The touchpad on this product is hyper sensitive. Every time I start typing, the mouse clicks somewhere else as my palm brushes the touchpad.

How can this be corrected? I've heard of many others with this same problem with this product.

This has been a major issue with the NP-QX411 and other SAMSUNG PCs with the single mouse-pad and ELAN driver. I also require a solution as desribed below.

With most PCs becoming plasticized, the materials are good quality, the overall design is state-of-the art-and the Radeon graphics and other accessories are fabulous. This laptop offers the best price for any 64-bit Win-7 OS and I7 INTEL quad turbo-boost processor, at this time. The shift to a single mouse pad decreases the MTTF (probability) for wear-and-tear and the Elan pointing software promises great versatility. However, in practice, this potential enhanced functionality - even with the latest upgrade - has yet to overcome its downside instability. The consequential hassle makes even basic browsing and MS Office 2010 applications much more time consuming and frustrating. Thus, for now, I have compensated by incessant tweaking and using a wireless mouse. Moreover, before I was able to install all the standard software - not including, e.g, more specialized mathematical analysis apps - the power supply malfunctioned. So, like most less expensive PCs, after less than 2 months and much effort, also necessary to coordinate and wait further for this repair. It would of benefit for ELAN/Samsung to work the bugs out of the mouse-driver.

Based on this evaluation, until these nuances are adequately addressed, I cannot recommend major purchases to my secretarial staff, students, educators and especially businesses, executives, engineers, R&D staff, professors and directors. However, it will suffice for non-professional "home-use," by the casual teenage geek for video and social networking.

I think it just takes a little getting used to, cause i don't really feel this problem at all but my husband does when he uses my laptop, But you could try reducing the speed of your pointing device in control panel, i don't know but maybe it could help.

Using the factory settings, I would agree, the touch pad is very sensitive. However, all you need to do is go to the control panel and then adjust the touch pad sensitivity. Adjusting the sensitivity won't make things perfect, but it is 100 times better then the way it is setup at the factory. Go to Control Panel, Ease of Access Center, Make the mouse easier to use, then click on mouse settings, click on the ELAN tab, then Options, and finally click on the tab that says Additional and you can adjust the touch pad sensitivity here.

There is a new BIOS and updated drivers which go with Windows 8 which solves this problem. Click the Read More link on the Windows 8 Alert just below the top of this page. Then in the new page click the link for the "Samsung Windows 8 Software & Drivers update tool" - download and run. You will then have a new "Settings" icon on your screen. Click into the Settings and you can turn on and off the touchpad.

Question

Does anyone else have issues with the USB 3.0 ports not working? Is there a fix?

I have a Samsung QX411-W02UB laptop. I did a complete wipe of windows and restored it using the included DVD. (I just wanted to get all of the bloatware off.) I have all the drivers installed with the exception of the USB 3.0 drivers. I try to install them but the ports will not read any of my devices. Anyone else have similar issues?

Get the necessary drivers from Samsung's site. No need for all the bloatware - agreed. But I'm going to find out in the next day whether the bloatware can be avoided while using the drivers/restore features on the hidden partition - putting in a new hybrid drive. Some companies are giving us options now - they heard our voices.

I have encountered this before. You have to restart. I think that it is a problem with the operating system loading properly and thus failing to activate the keyboard. Could be a defect in the RAM causing the improper loading of the operating system.

Thank you for contacting Samsung.

When you hover the mouse cursor over the slim "Show Desktop" icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen, it will show you a preview of the desktop with the outline of any open windows. Actually clicking the icon will make the desktop instantly appear sans window borders. For the latest available video driver (short of any that Windows Update may offer), we suggest you visit the product support page and click Manuals & Downloads > Driver.

Use the Fn key and the F10 key at the same time to turn off the mouse pad. Your hand is brushing the pad and moving the cursor. You need to do this EACH time you turn the computer on again, even from sleep. I haven't found a way to disable it permanently, which would be my choice. I only use a mouse.

Thank you for contacting Samsung.

We're a bit confused by your question, but we're gonna take a wild guess at what you're attempting to do. Are you attempting to sync and/or connect your iPod Touch to your laptop? Typically, you have to manually connect the device first and make sure that iTunes is enabled to detect such devices.

Also, since this is an Apple device, you would be best served to contact Apple Support for further assistance getting it working. You can call 1-800-275-2273 to speak with an Apple support technician.

Why does my NP-QX411I no longer recognize my wireless network?

Worked fine for the last few months. But all of the sudden last night my Internet connection stopped. When I went to reconnect with my router, it did not even list my network as one of the options. Tried restarting both the laptop and the router. Still will not show my network.
