Has the number of power supply problems lessened? I want to buy an Eee 1005HA-P, but these powersupply issues-- they make me super nervous and I have been reading about them since this laptops release (when was that?

My power supply went out after 45 days. That's aggravating, but the real problem is ASUS customer support for this obviously common problem. I would have to fax them a form with my personal information to include name, address, phone, email, credit card, expiration date, and my signature acknowledging that I will be liable if I don't ship back the broken power supply within 14 days at my expense! Only then will they send me a replacement via FedEx ground. When I pressed a supervisor for other options, I was told the only other one was to buy a new one from their e-store. What terrible customer support for a product under warranty!

I am finding models 1005-HA-P, 1005HA-V and 1005HA-B. anyone know the difference? The Asus website doesn't separate them out..

Not so fast joshsia.I just oredered an 850W, and got the 1250W in its stead. All the paper work said and the amount charged was for the 850W which makes the warranty worthless.

I'm not sure about the new model stuff. I know they came out with a lower wattage chip but nobody wants less power :) I think you are safe with this one. I've built 6 computers with it. Solid.

Rich, Thanks for the reply. Let me know what you see popping onto the market. Only 3 cells on this one, I wonder why. Good enough for me tho. This one is more full featured than those other little ones. They are too limited and small. This one has a good price. I know, for a little more I could get a regular laptop. I just like the toy feeling of it. And it doesn't take a lot of power to stay on for hours. Shipping is 3 to 5 weeks! So there's time to cancel if another one looks good. Nice to have a little thread here to check while I wait. Thanks.

this makes me feel better as I seen a number of comments that say that it wasn't after buyers checked the asus support website for the recall "http://vip.asus.com/eservice/changeSandybridge_NB.aspx?slanguage=en-us"I also have seen a number of negative comments on the perfroamnce of the laptop.I am praying that these comments are 1 in a thousand sold. I also pray that I won't be one of those "1"'s.thanks for your response

Well I havent seen their reviews so I don't know the conditions the had the failures from . but I can say this I own one of these cards and have been very happy with the performance and reliability of the card so far. My guess is that ppl who are having issues result from majority of 3 causes. 1 Low quality power supply or not enough wattage. 2 bad cooling air flow. Or 3 no understanding of how to properly overclock the card. The included software makes it very easy to make changes but this card already comes overclocked so if you push with out good power or cooling there will be problems like with any card.

Do you have the ASUS Eee 1015PED?I have used it for hours on end and it still doen't get hot enough to cause any issues.

I just got mine, I'll try and remember to report back once we've tried it as loadbalance/failover is what we purchased it for. In the mean time I will note a lot of the reviews up are on the older side, I was looking for load balancers both here and on newegg and at newegg this model has 100 more reviews than it has here and its a solid 4/5 there so thats pretty encouraging.

I have never owned this power supply. So, I can not really tell you if it is or not. I have owned several computers over the years. I have heard any of my power supplies while they were running. SO! What do you think the answer should be here?? You have never had a power supply? So, you did not know they ran quiet. Come on buddy. Are you older then six?

I am wondering the same thing. Is the power supply 100/240v compatible? Could someone please let us know, as this is the only thing holding me back from purchasing this.Thanks!

Hi Joseph, my Lepa 1600W PSU failed on me after a few days of operation but, thank God, no components were damaged. I've read good things about this PSU so my problem was the exception rather than the rule. Just a WAG on my part but I imagine your experience will be better than mine; in any case, the most important thing to me is it didn't take out anything else when it failed.

People who had problems say EVGA was overnighting them updated units. Looks like they fixed compatibility issues about 6 months ago. You can return in to Amazon for free if you have problems, so no risk

I too have been watching this laptop for about a month and a half now. I just purchased one from another seller. I don't think Amazon discontinued it, it's just out of stock for everyone right now. If sellers are getting them back in stock, some are jacking the price up. I also noticed that Amazon has the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA on backorder. If you can find the 1000H, buy it...they're selling like hotcakes!

The one I had was a 240W. I now longer have it, went with a different brand laptop, but I remember it because my first remark was that I would be able to upgrade it in the future.

Hopefully Mr. ASUS can give us an update. He was very active in the UL30VT thread so we'll see if he responds here as well.

So I was about to buy this laptop, but I'm going to wait to see what happens. Could you guys tell me if this happened mainly because they were moving locations ( no fax at that location as Schwartz said), or because they are simply not giving warranties. I highly doubt that they won't offer a warranty for the laptops, but I just want to be sure.
