Asus U36SG: WiFi range suddenly got worse

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 03:55:13 -0700

My laptop can not connect to wireless network only when it's placed next to a router, it doesn't work when it's 15 metres away. I have same issues when I boot up Ubuntu USB. What exact parts should I buy so they'll be compatible with my laptop?

ASUS U52F-BBG6: “The “enter” button on my computer is not working”

Thu, 20 Oct 2016 17:08:06 -0700

The enter button seems a little stuck or unresponsive. I do not know exactly what the problem is and have tried to clean my keyboard. I am not sure if I have to clean it better with different materials or if I need to break open my laptop to see the real problem.

If I can get any advice I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

ASUS U57A-BBL4: No bluetooth hardware? Or is it just disconnected?

Thu, 06 Dec 2018 21:02:58 -0700

I got this laptop for college 8/2012 and it’s been a trooper (got me through mechanical engineering), but I randomly looked up its specs today and was surprised to see everywhere lists this as “bluetooth enabled”, even though I’ve never seen anything bluetooth related pop up on screen before. I tried looking where the bluetooth icon/functions would normally be (on computers equipped with bluetooth) to no avail. I downloaded the Intel PROSet bluetooth driver for U57A from Asus and it said that my computer had a newer version installed than the one Asus lists. I uninstalled the driver then installed the one freshly downloaded from Asus, but in Device Manager, under Network Adapters, there is still nothing bluetooth related. No icon down in the task tray. I don’t mind opening the laptop up to see if it has the actual bluetooth hardware, I just have no idea what said hardware would look like on this model. It’s no big deal if I can’t get bluetooth to work because it’s been a faithful computer, and of course I could get a cheap USB bluetooth adapter, but I’m just curious more than anything.
