a few questions about my t-16?
now i want to know what some of these buttons are for, i got no manual with the laptop, and they confuse me since they are there but they dont do anything.
the first is one between the media button bar and the power button, it has an arrow pointing towards the media buttons on it, and it does nothing while the laptop is on, but it will bring it out of sleep mode. what does it do? is it configurable?
next up is two buttons in the media button bar.
one is a music symbol, and the other is the "dvd" logo.
they do absolutely nothing whether the laptop is on, off or in sleep mode.
are they configurable? is there special software that communicates wth them?
next up is the cpu, its a 1.9GHz AMD turion 64 X2, which is at 48*c as im typing this.
i have a 1.9GHz athlon 64 X2, from another laptop, would it be beneficial to the laptop in regards to the temperature? would it perform worse or better?
then the wireless, the realtek card shuts off whenever i plug in a flash drive, but only when i plug in a flash drive, if i put in a sd card, it doesnt, if i plug in a game controller, still, it doesnt.
only when i plug in a flash drive, but why? is it because its using the windows-detected drivers?
last is the bluetooth.
i contacted the people over at gateway and asked them about bluetooth and my laptop, and basically they told me there was no way my laptop would ever have internal bluetooth capability.
but, when i had my laptop apart to install a better bass speaker (yes, im sorry but i have a very bad habit for taking my laptops apart, luckily it still works)
and thats when i noticed that, on the other side of the board, about the area of the hard drive connection, there was a small (ish) white connector, and on the board right beside it, was written "bluetooth".
i contacted gateway again and basically this time they told me i wasnt seeing what i thought i was and the connector didnt exist. but i know its there.
why would gateway tell me its not there if it is? do they even know their own laptop?
