A21m BSOD...

#1 Post by mdurisseau » Mon May 19, 2008 8:57 pm

The A21m I have seems to work ok with the exception of two things:

It BSOD's for no reason, with the KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR error.

Secondly: I can't get the Fn-F3 (screen blanking) to work...the Fn-F4 works, which will put the machine into suspend...what's wrong?

Assuming that you're running XP, does anything show up in the event log after machine bluescreens?

As for Fn/F3, you may want to re-load the hotkey drivers/utility. I'd test the laptop with Linux "live" CD as well, since it may just be a bad key on the keyboard, I've had it happen to me on an A31p once.

Good luck and let us know.
