Looking for Answers about samsung NP700Z5BH?

I think this is all fixed now...probably through a software update. I can right click on my desktop and select the option to control the switchable graphics per application.

I had this happen to me and after fighting with it for several days I accidentally hit the burn function key one time under (window's multimedia) and the cd flew out! It happened again a couple of days later and I did the same thing and it worked? Now all is normal so I don't know what finally fixed it but obviously it was a quick solution for me.

On my laptop, the computer would not recognize a DVD, and this worked for me:
1) Insert a DVD or CD-ROM into the drive
2) Go to Windows Explorer, right-click on "Computer" in the left-hand bar, click "Manage" from the menu.
3) Go to "Disk Management" under the "Storage" heading of the left-hand-side tree. You will hopefully see a listing for the DVD you have inserted.
4) Click on the DVD volume, then from the "Action" menu go to "All Tasks" then "Change Drive Letter and Paths" - select a drive letter (D:, E:, or whatever your choice) - your DVD should now be visible under My Computer (and the eject key will work as well).

Download and install Samsung Easy Settings software. Once it is properly installed for your version of windows and bit version (32 or 64) all the hotkeys will function correctly.

Just need to press Fn+F5 to turn on or off the touchpad

You can try contacting Samsung support.
But if you ask me Cyberlink programs aren't very good. For photo editing, use Picasa by Google. (free)
For everything else windows already comes with great programs. Windows Live Movie Maker (video editing), Windows Media Player (burning)
If you really want the suite though, and Samsung won't oblige than you can buy it from cyberlink's site. It's called Cyberlink Media Suite.

Hello,
Small primary partition has troubled everyone. As one of the earlier user has mentioned you can extend the C partition.

Howevere, sometimes the option for extending the partition is not visible (its greyed out). My response may be helpful for such situation.....If you are facing this then, Read On....

First make sure that you have backed-up your data from the secondary partition / volume to either an extrenal drive / USB drive or a network location. You will loose it otherwise.
Now follow these steps :

1. Reboot your machine and enter the Samsung Recovery Solution . When your machine boots, pay attention to the screen . Usually you have to press Function (F) 10 key repeatedly- (Your's could be different key combination ).
2. Press it repeatedly and u shd enter this Samsung Recovery Solution.
3. Once Samsung Recovery Solution starts, it will guide you through the process of extending the C partition, which is very easy to follow.

Hope this helps, because I see a lot of people troubled by small size of the primary particition (50 GB) that is on these machines. Hpefully it will not a big deal after following this solution. Good Luck !

You may also wish to download the LATEST Elan TouchPad driver from the Samsung support site. This update improved touchpad performance for me (version 10.7.5.0). Go to the Support page for your laptop model, click "Get Downloads," click "Driver" and look for "TouchPad driver."

IF your laptop is the NP700Z5B-W01UB, then the download page is here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/notebooks/NP700Z5B-W01UB

if your are speaking or turning both partitions back into one got to

start->type "disk"->click create and format hard disk->right click the volume that does not matter and click delete volume->then on the you want to make larger right click and hit extend-> set it up how you want and your done.

---personally done because of the partition it made me do at start up

when you take your mouse and hover over your desktop, RIGHT-CLICK the desktop. then click on switchable graphics. you can configue all programs you have previously opened.

On the bottom, in tiny, light silver printing, toward the front of the latop (directly under the touchpad.) Get a bright light and a magnifying glass.

Download CPU-Z from its respective website; just google for it. Install it and run it. Select the memory tab and it will mention what type of memory it is using. Jot that info down you can go buy that memory at your store of preference.

First does your laptop have backlit keyboard? All models do not. If F9 and F10 keys do not have any blue icons on them then you do not have backlit keyboard. The Fn and F9/F10 keys control backlit keyboard.

custom install

The first time I started it from the computer menu, DVD drive control - all went well. 0r a bad blue ray dvd? ( but I'm sure you did that simple stuff already.)

1.Determine your 4G eligibility by contacting a nationwide service provider, such as Sprint. Currently, 4G connectivity is only available in certain areas. You can also determine your 4G eligibility online.
2. Subscribe to a 4G service provider in your area. Most service providers will require you provide them with your name, address, Social Security number and additional personal information to set up your account. You must subscribe to the service before you will be able to access the wireless signal.
3. Purchase a device that is already 4G capable. Most 4G service providers offer options for 4G-enabled devices including netbooks and smartphones.
4. Power on the 4G device and it will automatically connect to your wireless 4G service. Once connected, you can use the Internet and check your email from your mobile device.

Use the one that you can download from one of the other NP700 model laptops. That's how I got mine to work.

I found a driver that worked here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/NP700Z5A-S01US. It's under the drivers tab
