I have 5 stuck pixels(or bright white spots usually visible when there is a white background) on my screen. Is there a possible fix or I have to give it to the service center?. Also is there any way to turn off the screen without turning off the laptop?

They offered me a mobo replacement....But don't you think it is better to buy a new laptop rather than the one which malfunctions after using it for barely 2 hours(which included win update and AV update).. :)

You installed EASUS on it, you screwed up, then hows it the laptop's fault? o.0 I had exact same problem, screwed up the same way within 3 hours of getting it, the cc took 2 weeks to repair it after numerous phone calls. All that was needed, was a recovery. No replacements, no openings. EASUS somehow corrupts the windows on laptop HDD. Why not use the built in partition tool?

Anyway, your loss, you don't get to feel the best no more. :)

GUYS HELP PLEASE

Im using s-02 with windows 8, my d drive is lost thanks to samsung recovery solution 5..i think i had deleted the samsung recovery partition while partitioning but just now i pressed f4 on startup and it took me to samsung recovery solution 5, took a lot of time and then just showed me the menu of backup restore n all, i exited and then back to windows i got no d drive

I used disk management but it showed no option for that drive which had 452gb, its healthy so i used easus partition manager to assign a drive letter and it failed and now its d drive but no space and windows says it needs to format to use that drive.....please tell me how to proceed

I had more than 300gb of my data on that drive :'(

Hi guys !

I just bought this laptop and I am not very happy about windows 8, so I wanted to install 7 on it, however I got several issues here. First of all I do not see any other possibilities of boot priority than just the default one(windows boot manager or sth). I wanted to install from USB, I disabled the setting I should, but still no luck.. got only default one and Disable options. Secondly I wanted to try to install it from DVD, but my MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8D1 cannot read the disk at all(tried them on another computer - everything works).

Is there any way to make it boot from USB, or is there a any driver(or some fix) for my DVD-ROM drive?

Thank you in advance. Hope for your help.

Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to manage partition directly with partition manager bootable CD.
You can use above software to recover the data

Did you try booting it with the cd/dvd with that utility? Coz it worked in similar cases.

SOLVED

FINALLY, used Easus recovery wizard, entered the full version code i found online and bam, in 5 hours all my data transferred to my external hdd!! Also thanks ashish for your assistance, i tried the bootable cd too but the recovery software insisted on backing it on unallocated space which means i had to unallocate some part of my hdd which i found confusing

Ahh...I wish you had screwed up before me...then I would have been careful about EaseUS.. :wink:

The service center Engineer had a recovery disk...but the laptop did not read it.....He tried using an external ODD.....still the same result.And the laptop kept shutting down automatically,even on power supply....then he sort of concluded that it could be a mobo problem....anyways....he wasn't able to repair....flipkart was ready to give a refund....so I took it.. :)

Now I'm thinking about another S03IN...or a gaming PC which will surely be better than the "best".. :chinscratch: :wink:
