I have this laptop which is quite good but battery is not, However to make this great Simply change the CPU, changed mine to a T8300 dual core for a matter of £40 ebay. can get lower speck dual core cpu’s for around £25. What this will achieve is faster programs, faster dvd writing, almost by 3X, everything just faster, also 50% more battery life as the cpu is not running 100% like single core, remember most programs these days are designed for dual core minimum. Just think evan mobile phones and tablets these days are going dual core.

I have one for 2 years buyed from england. Came with vista was working ok & stayed good with the nvidia drivers from hp. When I moved to windows 7 & puted the latest drivers for the 8200 m g started warming up. Can even go to 80 degre while playing nfs world on medium. That it’s not such a big problem, the worst problem of the laptop is the wirlles. I don’t think they even made drivers specialy for the atheros AR5007 on Windows7. All drivers from compaq or coming thru Win7 update aren’t to good. And much wors on a WPA2 protected network. If you will try maximum download with a torrent client the network will fail & I’m not saying downloading with speeds over 1mb, abouth 700-800kb the network will fail. You will not be able to reconect with turning the wirlles off/on as you do it on vista, you will have to reset ruterr for the atheros to work again. And always insteed of atheros you will find Broadcom driver on the site, I saw this even on hp sites. And a third thing is that they said that windows 7 will increse the batery life is totally fals the batery will last half the time it did on vista, Win7 will even give you meseges like you need to change battery or pluged but not charging, this will disapear afther restart.

Re: eM350 and trying to use wifi channels 12 and 13 in the UK.

My access point is set to channel 12 (mainly because neighbours are on channels 7 and 8). The netbook can’t see channels 12 and 13. Has anyone managed to access these channels with eM350.

Hi Guys
I’d like some help in locating a new sound card, I spilt some water on it (my fault, obviously) and now the laptop says that I have no audio output device, I tried all the device driver stuff (updates, system restore, uninstalling, installing, reboots etc) but it really doesn’t know that there is a sound card there at all.
Is replacing the sound card an easy thing to do or is there an external usb option

Your thoughts would be most appreciated
Many thanks in advance, Mrkpeake

PS, Avent Roma 2000, a fine budget laptop, if I wanted so much more then I would have bought a more expensive one, but as it stands it’s been with me for nearly two years, 4 countries, thousands of miles strapped to a motorcycle, hot, cold, damp or dry the thing just keeps on going, it’s not perfect but then I didn’t pay for perfection, I wanted budget and budget is what I got.
