Looking for Answers about samsung NP300V5AI?

many blue screens

But there isn't an option in the control panel or in the Samsung apps that I see to disable the Smart-Pad. I don't really want to uninstall the driver, but is that my only option? Thx!

Re: Samsung laptop NP300V5A-A08US - Win.7 Home Premium

Because it frequently crashed, I re-installed using the supplied single Recovery Win7 Disc. After installing drivers from Samsung website, some Fn function keys work but not displayed on screen:

Sound/Brightness/Touchpad-enable/disable - these Fn keys work but nothing displayed on screen; so have to guess

For wifi and ethernet connection, need to use Control Panel because your drivers don't display on Task Bar, nor the sound/brightness/touchpad mentioned above.

To config using external display, need to use Control Panel.

How can I get your drivers to work like they did in the original factory installed Win7 OS and also display them on screen because without the display, I need to guess around.

The remaining function keys not mentioned above are just not available after re-installing Win7 using your Recovery Disc.

Can you please provide some support?

Thanks.

The brightness keys do not do anything. Bought in September

for the np300v5a-a02us

Could I have more detailed information of the RAM installed in my laptop (samsung series3 NP300V5A-A0KUS), such as its manufacturer and speed (I know that it is DDR3 4GB)?

If I'm in, for example, Notepad, the Left arrow should move the cursor one character to the left, the Up arrow should move me to the previous line, etc. Instead, the Left arrow moves me to the next open item on the task bar, the Down arrow minimizes the window, etc.

This has been the behavior since I took the laptop out of the box two days ago.

The cylinder inside the power port is missing. How do I go about getting this fixed?

The cd optical drive that came with laptop is defective and doesn't read and/or work when i insert disc.

My laptop does not stay charged for long after taking it off the charger. Would I be able to get a replacement battery?

The only software that have is Windows 7, and that came with the computer in the box. However, I'm missing the DVD software, the mouse-pointer software, the "games" software, etc. I'm missing all the software that came with the computer because I thought the disk in the box included all of those extra porgrams.

In other words, since I completely ersed all partions of my hard drive, I don't have a way to return the computer to the original state from when I purchased it. Can I get a set of CDs that I can run to recover to out-of-the-box state?

Thanks for looking into this.

I purchased a used Samsung laptop Series 3 15.6" Notebook
Model #: NP300V5A-A06US.
I was told by the seller that she couldn't find the disc that came with it. (The drivers and software disc.) working with it I found a disc in the drive,
Repair Solutions,
Software & reference Files,
Version 1.02,
Copyright (c) 2009 IEC.
MRP #93-0195 Rev.B.
Is this the correct disc for this laptop?
Is this the disc I would use when I replace the hard drive?

the network adapter got deleted. how do i reinstall it?

There is a little box that pops up on the task bar. When I right click it to see what it is, it says EDT control center, pin this program to the task bar, and close this window. Since I dont know what it is I tell it to close and then it tells me that the EDT Control Center is not responding. What is this and what does it mean? I also have been having problems with internet speed fluctuation issues. Does this have something to do with that?

Here is my report when I went to safe mode...

I installed Windows 8 and it appears that AMD Catalyst does not have a driver for it. Any suggestions?

This is a follow-up to my previous question on "No display on screen when using Fn function keys." Thanks for reply but not clear.

Your link shows a list of software but those names don't describe my No-Display problem. Can you please point out which software(s) are applicable for my Win7 OS?

Also mentioned previously, after re-installing Win7 using your supplied OS disc and downloading your drivers, these function keys don't work:
1. Brightness - Fn2 and Fn3 don't work. Have to go Control Panel
2. Switch from laptop to external display - F4 - have to use Control Panel
3. Disable Touch pad - Fn5 - have to use Control Panel
4. Bluetooth - have to use Control.

SUMMARY: Fn function keys don't work. When using icons on Task Bar to configure Bluetooth and Sound, no display on screen.

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ?????

Thanks.
