    PB thermal buttons


    Hey,

    I have a Packard Bell notebook, which has these thermal buttons for enabling/disabling wifi and the touchpad.

    However, after upgrading from vista to 7, the wifi button lights up when it's disabled (instead of when it's enabled) and the disabling of the touchpad fails to work now.

    I checked the PB support site, but they don't offer drivers for this, also checked the recovery partition, but I was not able to find a driver for this.

    Im sure that now that win 7 is out they will have drivers for it. In the mean time you an use the vista drivers. Just install them in compatibility mode

    The problem is that my laptop didn't come with a driver disc.
    And I don't know what to look for (name of the driver).

Thermal Compound - Is One Better Than The Other?
in PC Custom Builds and Overclocking

I'm curious about this, since I have to get some to put the new heatsink module on my motherboard when it arrives. I've found compounds ranging from a dollar a tube to $8.99/tube. Is it going to kill my CPU to get cheap-priced compound? What compounds transfer heat better? I have an Intel...

After reading some good reports on Shin Etsu thermal paste, I bought some, but am having a lot of problems with getting it to spread properly. It tends to clump together, and when forcing it out, it leaves such a thin covering that the lettering on the CPU is still plainly visible. I'm about to...

Hey guys, So I was hoping to get some clarification (as well as personal opinions) on thermal paste application. I have heard many different ways of applying thermal paste, and I am guessing they all work. The real question is, how MUCH? I just have a feeling I put on TOO much on my new...
