Thanks for your reset instructions. i followed them and rest the notebook as I couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi and thought previous setting may have caused this. Upon finding and connecting to my wireless router, all I get is "Pending" and no final connection. Searching the web, his appears a common fault. I've got an Eee PC 4G - can you help please?
Yeah I've experienced this problem on my 4G EeePC too! It doesn't have a problem with all wireless routers though, does your problem apply to all wireless routers? I would say try and change your WIFI security settings. Or setup static IP addresses (disable DHCP), it's a pain but fixed the problem for me... Hope that's helpful.
Mine can't even start up..
Sounds like you might need a new battery? Or let it charge for a while before you power it up?
What if there is no option for OS Installation option?
Then you probably don't have an OS installation partition on your hard drive - you need to get hold of an external optical drive (and install disk) and re-install your OS from that...
My internet wont work..it shows up ant the tab says "connecting.." but then the page disapears...can you help?
Did you try both your wireless and LAN (wired) connections? Did you try a different internet connection? A different website? (perhaps the site you were trying to access was just down at the time). Make sure you don't have any proxy settings in your browser. Maybe test your internet connection with another device to make sure it's working. Sounds more like a problem with your interent connection than a problem with the device?
Its not a problem with my internet connection because i also have and ipod touch and i use the internet on it all the time and its not the website im on either because my internet page just wont load and doesnt let me type any website on it
Can you try to use a different browser? http://richelectron.blogspot.com/2010/03/eeepc-browser-upgrade-youtube-full.html <- What if you open a console (Ctrl +t) and type ping www.google.com? Do you see any activity on your connection?
You probably need to install the latest Windows service pack - that should fix your problem.
Where can I download the OS coz I don't have it?
Hi, I would like to do the factory restore but have a question first. My husband took the partition away that separated the C and D drives. He also installed a Linux OS on my computer in addition to the Windows. My question is will I still be able to reset my computer to the original fresh out of the box settings?
Holding F9 gives no such option.
keep tapping F9 as the splash screen comes on (where it says press f2) then it should go into recovery mode
my laptop wont do anything when i push f2 please help
Press f9 when he greyish screen pops up, that will reset. It.
Thank you.
Will it delete partition/drive D:? or only c: ?
Will this format c: or just delete it?
my laptop doesnt do anything when i press F2. when do i press it? & how long do i need to hold it for?
The f9 will not work on EEE pc 900
