MSI Wind

[pokster]

For charging of the Wind after the initial 1st charge, how long do I need to charge it each time?

Download Battery Eater Pro to test the duration, it will give you a gauge of how long the battery will last under load.

Found a nice link for your netbook/notebook.

10 Tips to make your Laptop Battery last longer and improve your notebook's battery life!

1. Turn off Wi-Fi and BlueTooth - Most laptops have shortcut keys to instantly disable wireless networking.

2. Don't play computer games, music or DVD movies - Multimedia activities drain laptop batteries.

3. Disconnect all external device like PC Card modems, Firewire, USB devices and optical drives. Use the notebook touchpad instead of an external mouse.

4. Adjust your screen brightness - Dimming your display saves battery power.

5. Tweak Windows Power Options - Choose a Laptop power scheme that turns off the notebook monitor and hard disk after 10 minutes of inactivity.

6. Decrease or mute the Laptop Speaker Volume.

7. Turn off all scheduled tasks.

8. Turn off Auto-save features in Microsoft Office and other applications.

9. If your PC has a built-in wireless card, turn it off or disable it when not in use.

10. Programs that are run from a CD or DVD can be copied to and run from the hard drive, which typically consumes less power than an optical drive.

Can anyone tell me how long I need to charge the Wind? I am not referring to the 1st initial charge but rather the subsequent charges.

And anyone can recommend a good sleeve for the Wind?

Hi bro,

When the battery Led light 'off', you can plug off the adaptor liao.

The original sleeve is good enough lah.

So buy the new sleeve after it's dirty lor..so that you can use even longer.

What is your Brightness setting?...Usually I set at 50% brightness.... and battery life is longer. Cheers.

[boluilang]

consolidation of the problems faced by EDMW msi users.

1) display washed out - richneo
2) overclock + BSOD - pokster (MSI disclaimer - OC dependent on Atom Processor)
3) wireless adapter issues - wynd, anybody, ohzzsej
4) bluetooth - tromba, shifeng, Sidney86 (Solved)

maybe too many pple buying, many feedbacks...

 

[richneo]

the rma rate is less than 1%

overclock get bsod already got disclaimer by msi that not all atom can oc that much

 

[Sidney86]

the bluetooth problem was solved by downloading the bluetooth manager software.
i tink.
haha.
i solved it already.
so far so gd except that browsing websites can be slow at times.i wonder if its the connection or wad. =)

My wireless adapter issue has been resolved after going down to Corbell service center and the engineer replaced the wireless adapter. Been using it these two days without any problem.

I just found out that if you tap on the top right corner of touch pad its the same as scroll up and tap on the bottom right corner of the touch pad its the same as scroll down on the active window.
