Looking for Answers about samsung Notebook with 14.0" LED and 500GB HDD?

Beside the driver, do I need to be online on the internet explorer , AOL, AIM, etc ????

I have also noticed a bit of a decrease in the battery. Have you tried calibrating your battery? There is an instructional video on main support page for this notebook. Basically you need to force the battery to discharge. It should help "reset" the battery in essence.

Double click the volume icon in the task bar. You should see a separate bar for tv volume.

This message simply means you have your AC cord plugged in but your battery is full (or your battery may need replacing if it's not holding charge)

BA44-00242A is the part number and you can find it in http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/PID-BA44-00242A.aspx?model=NPR480JAB2US

I had this same problem to, I update the driver 2 days ago, 1/15/11, and it has not had a problem since.

try deleting the driver and re-installing it.

You can change that from Start->Samsung->Battery Life Extender

you may have "switched user" by mistake, try to switch to another user when it starts up or denies your password and look in the control panel for "user settings" and then follow the directions.

You can order replacement parts at samsungparts.com

You need to run Windows recovery from a Windows CD.

I doubt this is possible. Blu-Ray disks are not the same as CD's, and won't be read by a CD, DVD, or CDvD drive.

Go to Start->Samsung->Battery Life Extender and choose Normal Battery Mode

Yes it does. It should be on the bottom right corner side of the Samsung R480.

-Phiter

Hold the function button (Fn) and then hit F10. That should do it.

Not all the model numbers have been included yet in the registration part of the website. Samsung support is recommending that you pick the model number closes to the unit that you have until they fix the issue. You will still get the 3 month extension to the standard 1 year warranty for registering the product.

you don't need to disble the touchpad; but if you want to go to:

Control Panel
Mouse
Device Settings Tab
Disable the Synatics Touchpad

The lights still come on but the touchpad will be inactive.

Your speaker may be turned off. Press Fn + F6 together. It will automatically show whether the volume is turned off or on. If it is turned off after the first step, follow the first step again and your computer's volume will be back on.

Cyberlink Powerdvd

You can make recovery dvds from Start -> Samsung -> Samsung Recovery Solution

I did noticed the exact same thing when I powered up mine the first time, you need to delete drive (d:) and then make drive (C:) bigger through partitioning your HDD. to partition it go to Control Panel> System and Security> Administrative tools> Computer Management and select "Disc Management" and delete the (D:) drive and expand your (C:) drive.

Hope this makes sense.
