To get out the battery, I just simply pry the metal retaining clip (it makes contact with the right "side" of the battery) away from the battery. The clip runs perpendicular to the face of the battery, and essentially holds it in place. Once you pry the clip back (radially away from the...

I'm using the 1002 final BIOS right now, but next time I'll be sure to try the Asus Update method of upgrading the BIOS, as it should be more convenient. Also, I noticed a couple things lately on Asus' site that has bothered me slightly. 1.) The links for the 1002 final BIOS do not work (and...

Yeah, I noticed slow bootups too while using the Nvidia 2.03 Unified driver (along with Nvidia's IDE driver). It's kinda odd, because other than the slowup, I've also noticed that the Windows XP Professional bootup "splash screen" (assuming you're using Windows XP) first appears very light...

Figures... I went to upgrade to the 1002 BIOS this time and it worked just fine...without doing anything at all. Guess just sometimes stuff works without a hitch, and sometimes it can act up for no apparent reason. Anyway, I'm glad to finally get this working...guess I'm gonna go make dinner...

Shockwave, Glad to hear that flushing the CMOS worked out for you. Maybe I'll give the 1002 final BIOS another try a little bit later and see if that will work for me as well. If not, at least I know how to get the 1001C BIOS to work right again, hehe. Anywho, I'll post back later to tell if...

Just wanted to tell everyone, I was messing around with the bus speed and accidentally put my puter into a state of no return, hence I had to open up the case and flush the CMOS. After this process, my 2800+ was recognized correctly again, so that is cool. Guess maybe I don't have the BIOS...

Hi everyone, I decided that since the 1002 BIOS has arrived, that I would give it a whirl and see what happens. After flashing to the new BIOS, I couldn't get my 2800+ CPU to be seen as anything higher than 916 MHz, even when putting the correct multipliers and what not. So, after that, I...

Hi there, I've exhausted ideas to get my new motherboard working, so decided I'd post here. Here's the situation... I go to boot up the computer and it freezes during the "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." part, with the cursor just flashing. Now, I suspect the CPU may be bunk, as I'm...
